Times people’s spouses got on their nerves

No matter how well you know someone, you’ll never truly know them until you live with them. Once someone is in the comfort of their own home, that’s when you’ll really get to see their true colors.

You might discover that your girlfriend likes to keep a very tidy home and vacuums twice a week, or you might learn that your husband thinks it’s acceptable to store all shapes of pasta in the same container.

A Loose Piece Of Steak To Entice You

The man—more like caveman—who lives in this house thinks it’s acceptable to put loose pieces of steak in the fridge to keep for later.

At the very least, he could have put it on a plate, but Tupperware would have been preferred.

Checking The Ply

Debating the ideal ply of toilet paper is a can of worms that isn’t worth getting into right now, but how about those who truly break it down ply-by-ply?

This Redditor posted the result of his wife’s handiwork, which apparently involves breaking TP down to its individual ply levels.

The Dishes Aren’t Done Yet

Hand-washing the dishes can be a thankless chore, but if you’re going to take the job on, you need to finish it properly.

Cleaning all the dishes is a great goal, but the job isn’t truly over if the sink looks like this.

Little Bits Of Butter

Some people seem to be chronically incapable of taking normal slices out of a given foodstuff. In this case, some madman or madwoman has chipped away at a stick of butter in a most upsetting way.

While there’s nothing objectively wrong with this — there’s still butter left, and it’s properly wrapped, after all — this behavior is disturbing all the same.

A Violation Of The Holiday Spirit

Advent calendars are a fun way to ring in the festive season by…apparently opening up every single cardboard door and eating the chocolate within.

Of course, you’re supposed to savor the candy, piece by piece, day by day — but this person is evidently a monster.

She’s Not His Better Half

His “better” half, also known as his wife, left him half a Kit Kat in the wrapper for him to enjoy.

It’s hard to enjoy it, though, when it comes with the knowledge that your wife doesn’t know how to properly eat a Kit Kat.

We Don’t Have The Energy To Tolerate This

Anyone who has ever lived with another person should quickly learn not to touch food that doesn’t belong to them.

If we came home one day to find out that our roommates had thrown out our food or drink because they deemed it to be unhealthy, we’d be rioting.

They Took The Best Parts

To the husband’s credit, he didn’t eat this whole loaf of pumpkin bread, and appears to have used a knife.

That said, this is a bit of a disaster. Besides the haphazard cutting, he’s gone ahead and nabbed the deliciously caramelized end pieces all for himself.

Fun Knife, At Least

A wife asked her husband to pick up a crinkle cut knife for chopping up veggies. He returned home with this.

It isn’t a crinkle cut knife at all since it has a flat blade, but the sides of it are at least somewhat crinkly.

Comfort For One

Imagine walking into your bedroom to see that your husband had bought a memory foam mattress topper for your bed, but only for his side of the bed.

What do you even do? Do you demand that he takes it back to buy a bigger one, or do you deal with sleeping next to a 3-inch thick piece of foam forever?

A Strange Habit To Have

“Every time my boyfriend eats cereal, he eats until there’s only a few left floating in the milk, then he pours that out into the sink and leaves it there for me to clean up.”

Collect the cereal pieces and leave them in his shoes. He’ll never leave them in the sink again.

Did He Even Try?

A husband put dishes away in a way that’s subtly maddening for his long-suffering wife.

While the job was technically completed, everything’s just a bit out of order, with soup bowls grouped with flat plates and things stacked in a haphazard way.

Close Enough

This kid was dressed by their dad, and to dad’s credit, the wardrobe will suffice. All of the necessary garments — shirt, pants, and socks — are there.

A closer look reveals, though, the everything is a bit messed up. The socks are full of holes and the sweater isn’t even put on the right way.

Apparently, She Doesn’t Like The Edges

Sometimes the edges of a brownie can get a little too hard during the baking process, we get that.

She could have just cut the edge off, though; she didn’t need to ruin the whole pan.

Stocking Up

Unlike most people who live on this planet, this man married one of the few people who likes to go grocery shopping without first checking what they have at home.

This results in his wife constantly buying things that they don’t need, so they’re left looking like doomsday preppers who are stocking up.

Maybe This Is Why Your House Is Cold

A frequent complaint in this household is that the heat doesn’t work properly or that his wife can’t get warm because it’s so cold.

Upon further investigation, it turns out the reason it’s always cold is that his wife blocks the vent with various items like a Swiffer broom or winter gloves or the couch.

Charlie Brown Vibes

This woman asked her husband to pick up a Christmas tree. It seems like the tree farm was either picked clean or her hubby exercised abysmal judgment.

If this is the best tree you can find, you’re better off getting an artificial tree or just going treeless until next Christmas.

They’re So Close

When you have a drink and want to set it on a table, you should use a coaster to save the table surface.

In this case, a drink is present and not one, but four, coasters are also on display. All of the ingredients are there — and yet, this is somehow still a fail.

It Takes Two Seconds To Change

You’re already sitting right there!

It takes two seconds and a very minimal amount of effort to switch out the empty roll of toilet paper for the new roll before you leave the bathroom.

Saving The Ice Cream For Later

For some unknown reason, the lady of this house likes to eat the outside layer of chocolate off an ice cream bar first.

The problem is, though, rather than eating the rest of the ice cream bar, she puts it back in the freezer?

The Caveman Technique

Those so-called “resealable” packages can sometimes be a bit tricky to reseal, but with a few seconds of effort, it’s generally possible.

Of course, if you have zero chill in you, you’ll just rip the bags open and leave them in a state that can never be resealed properly.

That’s Not How You Apple

It seems mean to pick on someone for the way they eat an apple — after all, it’s something that truly only affects said eater of said apple.

Of course, some apple-eating techniques are a little too strange to ignore. What is even going on right here?

That Was Her Favorite Knife…

So not only did this husband make the grave mistake of using his wife’s favorite kitchen knife as a gardening tool, but he also managed to break that favorite knife on the cactus.

Wait, is that a fork in there too? What was he even doing? Was he going to eat the cactus?

Taking A Bite Out Of The Butter

This image brings a number of different questions to the surface, the most important of which is why does your dad take bites out of the stick of the butter then put it back in the fridge?

A follow-up question: does it even taste good to eat butter raw?

His Wife Said It Was An “Empty” Jar

Peanut butter is not exactly a cheap grocery item.

This man’s wife was trying to throw away this particular jar because she said it was empty, but we see at least a dollar or two worth of peanut butter left in there.

That’s Not The Pattern Of The Sink

From a distance, it looks like these people have a speckled pattern going on for the porcelain of their sink.

Unfortunately, though, that’s not part of the pattern. The sink is covered in pieces of hair—the remnants of her husband shaving over the sink.

Her Husband Claimed He Was “Helping”

The man who was guilty of this treasonous behavior says that he thought it was the most efficient use of space to put all pasta into one container in the cupboard.

However, now you have to spend extra time trying to pick out the pieces of spaghetti and separating them from the penne or rotini, so we’d like to question that efficiency.

Bags On Bags On Bags

Every time his wife “puts away” the groceries, she just takes them directly from the car to the cupboard or the fridge.

For some reason, no one ever taught her that you’re supposed to take the food out of the plastic bags first.

It’s Clear Who The Clean One In The Relationship Is

If you really want to get to know someone or learn what type of person they are, take a look at their tube of toothpaste.

The man who took this photo wanted the validation that his girlfriend is abusing her toothpaste tube, and he got that reassurance.

How Does This Even Happen?

If this much of their food is ending up on the kitchen table, how much of it is actually making it to their mouth?

We’re willing to bet part of that meal ended up on the floor too.

They Never Clean The Remote

What do you have to be doing to your remote control to allow it to get this dirty?

Are they dipping it into the chip bag, or do they just have a particularly dusty living room?

All The Marshmallows Are Gone

This man is left marshmallow-less after his wife picked every single one out of the family-sized box of Count Chocula.

You’d think that many marshmallows would put her into a sugar coma, but apparently, she’s still kicking.

Leave It For Someone Else To Clean

Clearly, whoever lives in this household is not a good cook and needs a little adult supervision while they’re using the stove.

Then, to add insult to injury, they didn’t even put in the effort to clean up the mess they made.

There’s No Way The Dishes Get Cleaned

If there’s one thing that you’re guaranteed to learn after you get married, it’s that there is a right way and a wrong way to load the dishwasher.

This wife has not yet learned the lesson, though, and her husband is left to deal with the packed dishwasher.

What Was The Goal Here?

The absolute only time that we might deem this behavior to be acceptable is if every donut in the box was a different flavor and they were trying to sample them all.

However, it’s very clear that there are duplicates here, so there’s no excuse. Also, there’s this thing called a knife that would have helped solve this problem.

He Thinks Taking The Plastic Off Would Make It Worse

The man who owns this monstrosity insists that taking the plastic off would lead to the case getting scratched and would result in an “eyesore,” as if this melted plastic isn’t already an eyesore.

Just pull it off, dude. You’re not going to ruin its blue book value.

Trying To Avoid Slicing The Pepperonis

This woman’s boyfriend always cuts his pizza into strange-shaped pieces because he likes to avoid cutting through any of the pepperonis, which leaves them with pizza pieces that are rectangular.

This is the kind of thing you need to find out before you move in together. I’m not saying it’d be a dealbreaker, but it is certainly worth thinking about.

Always Check The Oven Before Preheating

His wife has a tendency to store things in the oven, like their plastic cutting boards.

Unfortunately, this husband has a tendency to not check the oven before turning it on to preheat.

Something Doesn’t Add Up

Apparently, in this household, the labels on the actual containers don’t mean a thing. The sugar jar is filled with tea, the tea is actually sugar, and you’ll be left with some very salty coffee.

Why even bother buying labeled containers if you’re going to disregard them?

It’s Not Milk

This person’s girlfriend likes to store laundry detergent in recycled milk containers, and the liquid happens to look suspiciously like milk.

The only saving grace is that we’d hope someone would know enough to not drink a jug of milk that was warm and sitting on top of the washing machine.

Your Days Are Numbered

If you live with someone who has a habit of not cleaning up after themselves, there’s always going to be a point where you decide that enough is enough.

The person who lives in this house has reached that breaking point, and now they’re dealing with a dirty dish stove standoff.

So Now It’s Just Open In The Fridge All The Time

So the man of this household took this juice carton out of the fridge, looked at the very obvious cap that he was meant to untwist, and said “that’s not going to work for me.”

He had to have known while he was ripping it open that something wasn’t right.
