gets on my nerves

When I'm pulling into a store parking lot and she tells me where to park.  I usually pass it by and park somewhere else.  Or she asks me how fast I am going when I'm driving.  We may end up filling a novel with these you know.

It's meant to be when you love her more than all the $#!* she does that bugs you.

One thing that drives me nuts is her habit of merely saying the time and assuming I know what a time check means to her.   She does it to the kids too, but I find that humorous. 

Those conversations usually go something like this.

"It's 5:17PM."
"Uh huh."
"Your daughter has been home for one hour and twenty three minutes."
"Uh huh."
"..."
"..."
"...!"  [It is a dangerous situation when your spouse's silence has audible punctuation.]
"Am I supposed to do something once she's been home for one hour and twenty three minutes?"
"Never mind.  I'll take care of it."

Rarely do I ever find out what these conversations are about.

Some of mine mirror, but ill start on the one that is probably what no one else wants to say,
"We need to save more money, if you would just pay ahead on the bills then we wont be so behind?"
Me : {explitive and deep sigh}" umm we seem to be here cause you maxed out all the cards" If you quit spending we might be saving.  Lets not forget having to support a parent who took no actions to support himself.
or
Lets get the bathroom redone instead of paying taxes with that money, we can just pay it out of each weeks paycheck,,,, UM NO. 

Then there is one similar to Phill's, Being asked to do something, then being told step by step how to do it,,, I just looik at her and offer up the drill, saw,or leaf blower and ask her as calm as I can to please wait till Im done to have anything to say.

trying to "streighten" my work bench out cause its "too Messy"
Expressing her dislike of my driving style on every trip for the first 45 min.

There are a few others but Ill hold that off for a adult cocktail night on skype LOLOLOLOL
As we all know its not always bad,  we are all venting our pet peaves.

All of the above and then some.

True in this house too.

LOLOLOL THAT IS WHAT I DO TO UPSET MY WIFE lololoLOLOL.  I also tend to talk a lot and get too descriptive about what was said. she always give me "the look" or kicks my foot.  A lot of times its only her that is anoyed as she has usually heard all my stories and just wants me to shut up. 
Sometimes we both wonder how we ende up staying together, but I guess its that way with all people who have made it to 20 yrs and beyond.
On the side note. I was out with two really good friends and we were in a place like TGI Fridays,  all three of us talking and all 3 of us went off on tangendts and then we all circled back to the original topic.  It was awesome, we realized it at the same time, looked at each other and then burst out laughing at our untold joke. More beers were ordered, more tangents started

I am a great cook. Truly.
My wife, a southern girl, is also a great cook.
She will ask me to cook her one of my "specialty" dishes, and then proceed to tell me how to "improve" it. Make me nuts.

My wife hurt her neck a few years ago, requiring surgery...three years after the injury and me continually telling her to get it treated. the surgery worked...kinda. When I went off on work comp due to my back she acted like I had committed a mortal sin and no matter how much pain I was in she was always in more pain. She is kinda like that.

We (I) film my high-school daughter when she plays her volleyball matches. We post the vids on You Tube, after hours of editing (which I do), so that we can show college scouts when my daughter e-mails them. I now work (not as a firefighter anymore-forced to retire) in the family business which is located in LA. The drive is horrendous so I stay at my brothers during the week. When I get home on the weekends we usually have a tournament to attend and film then I must edit and post the vid. Despite my knowing nothing of video editing prior to our endeavor, and having to teach myself how to do it-plus filming, my wife refuses to learn how to edit, or even film. She does this often with the reasoning that "...You..." Me that is "...know how to do it..." My reply of: 'How do you think I learned?" falls upon deaf ears.

Lastly, and this is a mortal sin in my book, she hates the guitar.

Don't know why I still love her ( I too would take a bullet for her) but after 23 years I still do.

My wife has been in London and Dublin all week.  I've been home alone during that time.  I have a policy of "The house will be cleaner when she arrives than when she departed" and have my entire adult life.

I know what I'm going to get nagged at when I pick her up tomorrow, and so do you. 

Heh. I still get that.  I'm happy to do laundry (the chore you do when you want to look busy but really sit on your butt) but she has special laundry alchemy that I am not privy to, so she does it.  And I'm OK with that.  I do all the cooking and grocery shopping, and I'm kind of retentive about that, so I understand to a degree where she's coming from.
