Bad Habits your spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, family member has THAT U CAN'T STAND! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

OMG my boyfriend...he has this really irritating bad habit of always saying:
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
OMG, that s**t drives me nuts...I can't stand that damn phrase of his!!!! I hear him saying it throughout conversations with me and I roll my eyes. He says, "I'm sorry. It's just a habit." Other times I tell him, "YES! I DO KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN, IF I DIDN'T I WOULD TELL YOU!!!!!"

He is having a conversation on the phone and he says it over and over again. I roll my eyes and I get so irritated. Once, I counted how many times he said it during a 15 minuted conversation...that guy said it 12 times!!!!!!! I told him so and he said he would try not to say it....YEAH RIGHT!

My husband drives me crazy with a saying too. Whenever anyone asks him "How are you doing?" His response is always "Who knows?" UGH!! Everytime I hear him say that it drives me totally crazy!!

Polniaczek033 · 03-27-2006, 04:49 PM

my boyfriend always says "sorry" for absolutely no reason. and he always says "hows it goin?" randomly in the middle of conversations. it doesn't really make me mad or anything, it just can get irritating after awhile.

my mom.. talks. that's annoying.

EVERYTIME my sister calls someone on the phone, she waits for them to pick up and when they say hello, she says the saaame thing! "Um hi yes, um..." JUST SAY HELLO! lol Then when someone asks her a question she has to repeat it. Me: Why did you do that? Erin: Why did I do that? Because...
Grrrr LOL Also my mother, brother, and sister, they all just, belch. I just can't stand it! They do it so openly and don't care who's around. I could never do that.

i openly belch all the time, in school.. anywhere. and it's always REALLY effing loud too. i'm a pro. it's funny, because all my teachers know me for doing it. at lunch once, my friend rachel burped really loud in line and mr. weller turned around and was like "WHERE'S HARDASS? (hardass is my nickname)" and everyone was like "IT WAS RACHEL." hahahaha

Everyone in my family chews like cows and I can't stand it.
My dad chews gum CONSTANTLY and he can't do it without making noise.
My mom repeats herself a lot. You could only pay attention to 10% of the words that come out of her mouth and still understand the story.
My grandma is not supposed to smoke in the house since my mom had her heart attack, yet she still does it. She smokes in the bathroom because she thinks that it doesn't smell as bad because she opens the window? I don't know, but it doesnt help at all. She leaves the door wide open and our house smells like a bowling alley.

my boyfriend was a smoker; only now that he is around people that smoke does he understand what it was I would complain abt. Smokers don't know the smell that we smell. Since he stopped smoking he smells soooo great.

My husband does that also except he says, "You know" all the time when he's explaining something to someone or just in a normal conversation and it gets under my skin, because he will say it in just about every sentence. Also he pees with the bathroom door wide open. I always get up and go close the bathroom door when he goes to pee. I think he does it because he knows that it gets on my nerves.

My husband sometimes bugs me when we're watching movies at home. There will be a quiet scene in a movie, with music, or whatever...and my husband thinks it's an opening to start talking about what's going on in the movie. I tell him that he's ruining the mood of the movie.

Also, when we're watching tv or a movie and someone says something funny, my husband repeats the funny line...which in turn, often causes me to miss the next line.

Also, when I'm on the phone, it seems that he just must ask me a question. Never mind that for hours before I got on the phone, he barely talked to me.

Im a big deal · 03-27-2006, 10:16 PM

my dad chews really loud and it literally makes me sick. hes also like really....mean. when he talks to people, he has his eyes really wide and it scares me. idk he just looks mean. and when somebody says something that he disagrees with, he does that too.
when we are arguing hes always like "do you understand?" and im like "yes" and hes like "i dont think you do...blah blah blah" its so stupid. if i didnt understand, i would say no...duhh

dawsongirl · 03-28-2006, 02:45 AM

My dad talks during TV shows...any kind of TV show. And he has some kind of sixth sense, because it's always at the exact time you want to hear something.

He asks you something about 100 times. It's not that he forgot or wasn't listening, it's that he's making sure YOU remember.

He's anal about money. Any time he and my mom start discussing anything to do with money, I have to leave or I'll eventually feel like ripping my ears off with a pair of pliers.

My mom, when she's trying to do something she doesn't understand right away, she gets argumentative or something. Like tonight...I bought this handheld solitare game and she decided to play it. Well, she didn't know how to move the little blinking box to highlight a card, or scroll up and down through the cards, so I tell her, and she gets all huffy like, IT DIDN'T DO THAT...NOTHING WAS BLINKING. Ugh! Don't yell at me.

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE GET MAD WHEN THEY ARE THE ONES WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND SOMETHING! wow. that's really irritating.

Ireneparalegal · 03-28-2006, 01:58 PM

another thing my boyfriend does that i hate is when he obviously says something to me and I say right away "Yes?"...then he says nothing. I say, "what?"...still nothing and it never fails on the third time i YELL "WHAT!?" he THEN responds.

IT NEVER F*****G FAILS. I have to ask three times...WTF is up with that????? He did this last night and he had the friggin nerve to say, "Don't yell at me"...Well, hello A-HOLE, if you heard me respond to you right away, why don't you respond back???????????????????

And the dumb thing is, he never told me what he said. I never asked either. By then WHO THE F*** CARES...not me.

Janice · 03-28-2006, 02:47 PM

My husband expects a hot meal every night, and it bugs me. Just now, for example, it's warm out today, so I told him I was going to the deli to get chicken salad (which is delicious), rolls and pasta salad for dinner.

He didn't say anything, but it was in his face and the way he shrugged his shoulders. I spoiled him for the last 23 years with really great dinners. He was always working hard, and a hard working guy needs a big hot dinner.

I just figure now that he only works part-time and light work, that light dinners are fine. He could stand to lose 20 pounds, and I could stand to lose 10.

I'm venting. He just pisses me off. I figure if we eat out once a week, get take-out another...and I cook three nights a week...what's wrong with sandwiches or whatever the other two nights.
