Relationships: 10 Annoying Habits Men May Have

I was thinking about all my relationships over the past 40 years, and I came to the conclusion there wasn't too many quirks or idiosyncrasies I haven't experienced thanks to the men in my life. Don't get me wrong these habits are just as viable for the female of the species, it's just that being heterosexual, I have only been in love with men. I thought I would share some of the little quirky habits my former loved ones have inflicted on me. Granted they might not bother you, but then again, you didn't have to experience them day, after day, after day, like I did. What fun, let's see how many you can relates too. Don't be afraid to share some of yours in the comment area. Off we go!

The Sipper-

I was engaged to someone that whenever he drank anything, he had to take 3 loud sips. By the time he would finish his drink, 99 sips later, I wanted to rip his lips right off his face. Odd how over time the sipping seem to get louder and louder.

The Nude Painter-

No I'm not kidding. Another one I was engaged too. Sorry, but watching someone sitting on the floor with their legs crossed, and the only thing they have on them is paint, is not that attractive. It really makes me look at art differently now.

The Hair Puller-

Although I loved my first husband dearly, this drove me nuts. I can't tell you how raw my scalp would get from his playing with my hair. I got to the point where I wanted to shave my head bald, just to get some relief. If only I had thought of it sooner, I would have bought him his own wig to play with. It's Okay Peter Pan, I still love you!

Mr. Chew-

This is Mr. Nude Painter's second bad habit. He chewed tobacco. The annoying part was that whenever we would go on long drives in the car, which was often, he would bring a paper cup, and spit the whole trip away. Somehow seeing that brown gunk falling out of his mouth into the cup, well, was more than disgusting.

Salvage Man-

Here is another one for Mr. Sipper. No matter were we went if he saw something in the road or on the ground he had to stop and pick it up. I mean anything. I felt like I was with Fred Sanford. You would not believe how much useless stuff this man collected.

Funny Man (He Thought)-

This is the same man as the sipper, and salvage man. Whenever he would say something funny, and get a reaction out of it, I had to brace myself, for what you ask? To hear that same line over and over again, until I wished I'd become deaf, or he would become mute, just so I wouldn't have to ever hear it again.

Remote Man-

Yes, how many of you can relate to this one. It's not so bad that they have the remote; it's what they do with it that drives me nuts. Yes, it is possible for someone to flip channels several hundred times during just one commercial. One night I hid the remote, and I swear he went into withdrawal. There are now groups for people such as this!

Mr. Punctuality-

I'm not talking just being on time, I'm talking about being able to know to the minute what someone else is going to do. My second husband was a stickler about this. His morning routine drove me nuts, Just an example of this: 4:55 am get out of bed, hit the button on the coffee maker, get into shower, leave shower at 5:05, Towel dry, and get dress, pour 2 ups of coffee and enter bedroom at 5:15 am, have coffee with me until 5:26, go out to truck, start truck at 5:28 am, pull out of driveway at 5:30. I'm sorry but that's crazy. He was so exact about everything he did that when one morning when I didn't hear the truck start at 5:28, I knew something was wrong. I went our to see, and he had stopped to watch our puppies being born. Will wonders never cease?

Here Today Gone Tomorrow-

I discussed this one in my Revolving Door Man Article. Here's another one for Mr. Sipper, Salvage, Funny Man. He was the one who always went to Mommy and Daddy's when we had a fight. I was with him 15 months and I swear he spent more time with them then he did with me. The saddest part was his parents just kept letting him do it. If it was my son, I would say get your butt back home and deal with your problems.

The Caller-

This was the same man who was the sipper, the salvage man, the funny man, and mommy and daddy's boy. Wow, he really did have a lot of bad habits. This one was a truck driver that would drive between two towns about 100 miles apart. He would go back and forth form 3 pm till the following morning. Well, I can't ever remember sleeping more than a few hours at a time without being woke up. He incessantly called me. He said it was because he missed me, I knew better he was checking to see that I was home, and that I was alone. I cannot tell you how well I slept after I broke up with him.

Well there you have it. These are only ten of the many habits I have dealt with over the years. I thought I would just share the most memorable ones, or is that traumatic ones? Hey, I know I'm not perfect, I'm sure I have some bad habits, but who cares, they don't bother me!
