Things we find annoying about our boyfriends
“Do you know what I really find terrible? That empty hay fever pill strip has been sitting on the bathroom shelf for THREE weeks, while he probably sees it lying there twice a day.” It’s that time again: the whining hour has begun. Just like girlfriends among themselves. This week I opened my mouth at the office (hi, my name is Kiki, just moved in together) and before long, all the things we don’t understand about him are flying across the table. Behold: the biggest irritations about our boyfriends. The living together issue part 1.
The. Beard hairs. Horror.
I mean: fine that you shave, buddy, we all do. But is it also an idea to wash away those hundreds of little leftover hairs? The same actually goes for those caked blobs of toothpaste.
About those dirty underwear
There’s something weird going on with his boxers. They seem to have a quarrel with the laundry basket. Somehow they want to lie as far apart as possible.
Too large portions of food
Eh sweetheart, do you want me to gain six kilos in two months? For all the boyfriends reading along: the rule is two-thirds. Give us two-thirds of what you put on your plate, okay? Women with a small stomach even half.
Anyway, making dirty/fatty man food
That’s why we prefer to keep a little control over what gets brought into the house. No darling, I don’t want pizza on Sunday afternoon. Sigh.
The dirty sports bag
Exercising is sexy. We have no problem with that. You can sweat. Show off your manliness. What we find less sexy is stepping into your car almost gagging because those sweaty socks have been rotting there for two days at thirty degrees.
Socks with holes
And then not realizing that those things have really had their best time, which makes us bring new ones during shopping out of irritation. And then we feel like a mother and don’t find that sexy. DUDE, BUY YOUR OWN SOCKS.
Wet towels in the laundry basket
Exactly during a busy period, causing those things to sit there for days getting musty. On your new dress.
Using three tubes of gel at the same time (and buying a new one again)
Of the same kind, right? So purely out of laziness because he doesn’t feel like emptying them and just starts on a new one. Mister Divo.
The toilet seat up/down battle
Living together women all understand…
Anyway, multiple toilet things
Using up the paper and not hanging up a new roll. And what about that brush next to the toilet? That thing isn’t there for decoration, you know!
Snoring
There’s no worse sound at night. Oh wait…
Snoring with a hint of alcohol
Mr. came home drunk after a night chilling with the boys. Yep, fuck your life.
Putting empty containers/bottles/packages back in the fridge
Is it an idea to just drink that little sip of milk? And that hard cheese rind, is it there for decoration in the fridge or is he waiting for you to throw it away?
Men, really, we love you. But sometimes…
