Okay, the food thread was fun! Here's another one. If you have a significant other be it a boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband, what is the one thing they do that just annoys you to no end?
It's easy for me. Coffee! I get up earlier than anyone else in the household and I like to just tiptoe down the stairs to the kitchen, pour my coffee and watch the news. To do this, I prepare the coffee the night before and put the timer on. However, several times a week my plans are foiled by Ken deciding in the middle of the night that he wants a cup of coffee. I can just see the delighted look on his face when all he has to do is flip the switch and his coffee starts a-brewin'.
My alarm goes off at 6:00 a.m., I stumble down the stairs with my eyes half open (or is it half shut?) only to find to my horror - NO COFFEE. So, I stumble around the kitchen because when you are half asleep (or is it half awake?) nothing is where it should be. I can't find the filters and the can of coffee is empty. And where is that darn can opener? After 20 minutes of hunting down filters and a can opener, opening a new can of coffee and starting the coffee pot, I can finally have that steaming cup of coffee. Only by now I'm fully awake and it just doesn't sound as good anymore.
Well, that's my little annoyance.

heres the solution- have another pot on the counter, not fixed - fix your pot and hide it in the kitchen somewhere. He'll never know!
Just another hint from HELLOUISE!

I have antique pillows all over the couch, chairs and bed (my downfall). It takes time to arrange everything properly, and as soon as I'm done, Mr. Kraft lays on them all. He goes from one room to the next wrecking everything. I'll re-arrange everything back, then if he spots the couch or bed done back up again, he thinks it's some kind if invitation to lay on them all again. This behaviour goes on every day. He's like a robot - back & forth from room to room wrecking the decor. Can you believe it?
Men truly are all alike! Mine does with the coffee and end tables what yours does with the pillows. A nice clean coffee table is an invitation to park all his junk on. Coffee cups never quite make it to the sink. Another thing are toothpicks. He's constantly chewing on them. I find them everywhere. He falls asleep watching TV with them in his mouth. Yew!

HEY!!! That's how we REAL MEN mark our territory. Would you rather we pee on the furniture?
