Question of the Day

[ayoub]

What kind of behaviour from your partner annoys / would annoy?

---

It really annoys when someone I'm with tries to take away my quirks... :P

too much to list :D

Are you trying to start a row in this this house? LOL

Of course nothing Pixie does annoys me
(Hopefully that will get me brownie points. LOL)

[milagro75.livejournal.com]

I don't know if annoy is the right word, but the worst thing a person can do is try to minimize how I'm feeling about something, even if they don't quite understand it. There are lots of small things that for whatever reason tend to rub me the wrong way. Though I am working on just letting things roll off my back a bit easier, I hate it when someone is all, 'well why are you upset about *that*???' Grrr...

We all have quirks, and I can assure you I'd never try to take away yours. ;)

I can completely understand that :o)

[milagro75.livejournal.com]

;) Thanks!

Being made to feel insufficient / not good enough / invisible / taken for granted / unloved.
(Which word I'd use or how I'd put it would depend on the person and situation, but that is, I think, what would get to me most...though I don't know that "annoy" would be the right word.)

Not understanding my feelings and doing the opposite to what i ask

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

I've got a big list of things that my partner can do to annoy me. I'm pretty high-maintenance. *grin*

[emerging.livejournal.com]

when someone constantly requires babysitting in social situations.

[mysticpickle.livejournal.com]

Lies!

:)

[chiropteraclan.livejournal.com]

Being told that what I experience is invalid/is made up/is a ploy for attention. One of my boyfriends insisted that my dairy allergy was non-existent and I was just trying to frustrate him by being difficult. Never mind that every time I eat dairy I make up in the middle of the night in severe stomach pain and having difficulty breathing.

It would annoy me if my partner were not like Ralph. =)

[innerly.livejournal.com]

aawwwww

[castlelady.livejournal.com]

Too many to list, that's why it's best that I remain single :P

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

How do you want me to answer this? When I'm in a pissy mood or in a good mood. The answers will vary based on how I'm feeling.

If you mean right now... The Hubby doesn't annoy me. *I'm* annoying me.

[onesexiladee.livejournal.com]

Where to begin.....lol...

My ex would always use the term "whatever", for any answer he didnt want to really answer. I hate the word whatever because to me it says "I don't care or it doesn't matter". It annoys me beyond words! He also hated intimacy, that drove me insane because I am an intimate person.

[kathyrene.livejournal.com]

Thinking that I don't require any special effort like a lack of compliments, notice if I change my hair, lose 5 pounds or pick up on clues that I might like to be treated like a lady rather than just 'the wife'....

[the-ravyn.livejournal.com]

Someone who would be unsupportive of me if/when I would try to better myself in any aspect of my life.  Thankfully, that does not happen with Lou, but it happened frequently with my ex.  Never tell me I can't or what I'm doing is pointless.  That's a sure fire way to piss me off, lol.

[crucioed.livejournal.com]

Leering at other women. I know guys look but there's looking and then there's salivating UGH!

[shamrocks-13.livejournal.com]

My biggest pet peeve when it comes to Charlie's behavior is his belligerent side. Disagreeable, mouth, just nasty. Thankfully, those moments are farther and farther apart than they were several years ago. Just having an attitude like he does drives me INSANE.

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

Being ignored as though I am non-existent is a big one for me. I'd rather fight than be passive-aggressively ignored. (This is my mother's behaviour for people, myself included, and is thus a huge trigger still.)

Not being compromised with. Not being communicated with so I know how/when/where to compromise. Being lied to, maybe especially when that person is lying to him/herself. Not being listened to, or outright disbelieved, and then ignored when my assessments are proved correct.

And the worst of the worst - making a mess and expecting me to clean it up like I'm a personal butler, because I have OCD and can't help being a full-time neat nut - and I hate that I can't stop myself from being taken for a ride.

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

Lying, unwillingness to communicate and an unwillingness to listen.

The Missus tells me the truth and we talk everything out and she listens. It isn't always pleasant, but we muddle through.

Every relationship/friendship failure I have had with another person either comes from either a lie or a failure in communication or just an unwillingness to listen or worst of all...all of the above.

[applepaper.livejournal.com]

I just could not believe you asked this question today because wow did I have a fight yesterday with my partner. Of course it all started from said behavior that annoys me. I am desperately trying to control myself so that I do not include a paragraph here ;) Taking me out of the equation if you knew you were about to lose your job in six months you would think that you would at least put some money away to prepare for it... not just come home yesterday and joke/smile that today might be your last day and oops I didn't think to prepare. (I feel as if I should include a small 'therapists fee' payment for you -- this is honestly the safest out-let for me to vent!)

when he thinks faster instead of smarter and things get broken

[nonickname96.livejournal.com]

It bugs me when Jimmy puts off doing things (like buying presents and such) until the last minute. He usually ends up either getting it late (like after my birthday) or spending way too much on shipping.

He also tends to be rather forgetful. But he doesn't like that about himself... and gets frustrated with that aspect of himself quite often. So, i can't be too upset with him. He doesn't do things like "forget/put-off" buying presents maliciously... he's just absentminded.

Anyway... he's got more AWESOME/good qualities than things that bother me (BY FAR). My husband is the best!

It annoys me when he tries to take my Kodachrome away.

[simonssezsam.livejournal.com]

The foot thing. It drives me insane and I don't know why. To him its soothing. So I don't gripe. Much. Well, TOO MUCH. He'll lie there and rub the toes from one foot over the arch of the other over and over. Our 2 year old does it now. Drives me batty!

And spit cans. EVERYWHERE! But he's gotten better about picking them up instead of leaving them for me. And he does at least pop the tab on the cans so I don't inadvertently drink from one.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Spit cans?

Yikes...

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

A chaw chomper?!? You poor woman...

[simonssezsam.livejournal.com]

Could be worse...try not to complain much!

[miintikwa.livejournal.com]

I hate it when C pesters me to not eat sweets. I am not a child!

But overall, that's hardly a deal-breaker, and since he's doing it for all the right reasons, I usually forgive him.

[heardthatnoise.livejournal.com]

Inconsideration, arrogance, lying, humiliation, and making me feel like I'm not an important portion of his life.

[innerly.livejournal.com]

there are things about Cris that annoy me, of course (as there are things about me that annoy him)... but i know them, and he knows them.. and no one else needs to know :)

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

NOOO!!! Tell US!!!!

[innerly.livejournal.com]

noooooo.. well, ok :P
ha, seriously, i can tell you about the silly things, like him leaving the wet towel on the bed after taking a shower, but that's about it...

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

THE JERK!!!! :p

[innerly.livejournal.com]

i know! seriously! i should have left him years ago :P

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

My ex wives would tell me they were perfectly fine with my having female friends I'd see without her. But they made it obvious it was anything but fine.

[photodiva02.livejournal.com]

OMG! WHERE DO I START? Passive aggressivism? Yeah, I love that things "don't seem to bother him" and then two hours later I get bitched at for it.

[quotamour.livejournal.com]

It annoys me when he asks me to repeat something I said. lol
