    What silly little things that your (ex)partner did drove you nuts? I'm not talking about major character flaws, just the little ones that privately drove you to distraction?

    For me:

    Not wearing matching underwear.
    Assuming that anyone she got on okay with was her new best friend.
    Never pushing back in the fold on milk cartons.
    Being useless at choosing birthday/christmas presents despite asking my mates for help!

    This is a combination of various exes of mine:

    Being a Star Trek fanatic (though that would be a major character flaw I guess)
    Doing this really annoying sniff thing - basically inhaling snot
    Making weird expressions while kissing
    Always responding to the question "How are you?" with "Sh1te"
    Being rude to his parents in front of me (I know that sounds pedantic, but I mean this guy was seriously rude to them, especially his mother)
    Sending texts with less than three words in them
    Insisting on paying for absolutely everything, including my Dart tickets
    Using excess emoticons in texts - I mean after every ****ing sentence
    Trying to persuade me to wear my hair up. I mean, it's my hair, **** off!
    Always having his arm around me. I mean even when we were walking down the street, he'd be there clinging onto me. Rrrrrgghh.
    Saying nasty things about certain friends of mine. I mean if you don't like them, whatever it doesn't bother me that much, but to bring it up all the ****ing time...
    Not liking me talking to other guys. What's the deal with that?
    Crying. Oh god I hate it when guys cry.
    Wearing the same outfit every time I saw him. Yes, the same hoodie and jeans. Ewwww.
    Talking about cars
    Talking about ex girlfriends

    I'm sure there are a lot more that I just can't think of

    Everyone has their 'comfort clothes'.


    In my current relationship I have no real pet peeves, I had plenty about my ex's, but I spose that makes them ex-pet peeves, doesnt it?

    It was actually a combination! Composed mainly of three exes, but other ones have a couple in there too.
    gimmick wrote:

    Yeah, but to suggest all the bloody time? This guy was always trying to change me and it really annoyed me. He'd make suggestions about what clothes I should buy, make suggestions as to how I should wear my hair, make suggestions about what I should do in college, he even suggested that I should become a Catholic... None of the things he suggested would have suited me at all because they're just not ME, so I resisted all of those things. I don't know why, but it was the hair thing that annoyed me the most.
    gimmick wrote:

    Yeah, but this guy always seemed to be wearing them... Maybe he only wore them at weekends because that's when I saw him, but really, shouldn't there be some variety?

    Oh I know, I fully appreciate that... I don't mind guys crying occassionally when there's actually a reason for it. But when they do it all the time it's kinda undignified or something... This guy cried, especially after I broke up with him, and it was really awkward. I mean he would ring me up and cry and ask why I wouldn't take him back - what did he think I was going to do, get back with him because I felt sorry for him?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,648 ✭✭✭jezza


    a few of my exs in here:
    1)the way they all tell you that they love you. i thought blokes didnt like saying that and i really wish they wouldnt.
    2) the way he used to flirt my mates when i wouldnt talk to him.
    3) the way he asked for my ex best friends number.
    4) the way he got all pissed off if his team didnt win. Christ like its only a freakin game.
    5)the way he kept bringing up subjects he knew i didnt want to talk about but insisting it would "help".
    6) demanding reasons when theyre dumped.

    Oh my god, possibly two of the most annoying things in the world! Because if they say "I love you" you can't really abruptly change the subject, but at the same time you can't really say "I love you" back if you don't actually mean it. Plain awkward.
    Also, what's with the demanding reasons thing? I mean chances are they won't want to hear the answer - it could be anything from "I think you're a loser" to "I'm sleeping with your best friend". Generally Id rather not know why if I've been dumped.

    It's not that guy who raps on Grafton St. by any chance, is it? I have a terrible compulsion to cringe any time I'm within earshot of him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 91 ✭✭taby


    One of my exs thought i was australian. Now that was quite funny :-p but also kinda annoying.

    hrrrmmmm but to be honest i can't think of annoying things about my current guy. We have our fights and i do things that annoy him and visa versa but on the whole there's nothing that drives me to start wanting to kill him.

    Being a star trek fanatic isn't the worse thing in the world - i happen to like watching it ( apart from DSN series). Ok being rude to parents isn't very nice esp in front on you but not everyone is the same with their parents. My brother used to scream blue murder at my mum and push her back cos she'd be yelling at him and I used to stand there and think 'Oh god he's such an asshole for shouting at her'. but than sometimes when she goes on at me I scream at her too and i'm sure he's thinking i'm a **** for yelling at her. I know some people whose parents just always go on at them. And eventually after so many years they just kinda snap occasionally. Doesn't mean they don't love their parents. Just that maybe they need their space - i.e are teenager :-p

    Ok the i love u thing - i loved it when that was said to me. What's wrong with being loved? Ok if they say it on the first date than yeah maybe its a bit forward but if its meant that its sweet even if ya don't mean it back. I felt awful when a guy cared for me and i didn't. It almost broke my heart cos i didn't wanna hurt him to the point where i hurt him cos i delayed saying that i didn't feel same way etc.

    Hmmmm the changing thing. Well i resist change but than again at same time i'm extremely fickle. I always start new things and than become bored and stop. So people can try change me but chances are i'll just change again. Im always being told by everyone i should grow my hair long but i have it quite short atm and most people think that's suits me - but cutting it short was my choice. I never grew it long cos my hair can't be grown long - its very fine.
    But people should compromise in a relationship - like if my mate tells me that i should wear more blue cause it suits me i'm not gonna get upset at her for tryin to change me so why get upset at boyfriend if he says ur hair looks nice up or that u shud wear green for example.

    Jezza - ur ex sounds quite horrible - flirting with ur mates sounds quite creepy to be honest.

    Hmm the crying thing. I tend to hate anyone crying mainly cause i don't know what to say. But if its an ex crying that i'd just feel compasion and pity. Especially if i had caused the crying. I'm still feeling guilty for ending past things and if those guys started crying i'd prob start too cos i'd feel that bad for causing them that amount of pain. Its not nice to be at the end of a relationship so guys can cry than just as girls can cry. Its just a way of expressing emotion. I'd be worried if the guy didn't cry. It would mean that the relationship didn't mean alot to him.

    Can't think of anything else to say in this post really.

    a) You bitched about your hair being boring and wanting to do something new with it. That's when I suggested wearing it up. You were just convinced it didn't look nice, as per typical female and non liking of appearance.
    b) Never ever tried to tell you what to do in college. You always complained about not having one ounce of a clue what you wanted to do in college so I offered to help.
    c) I never suggested you become a Catholic. That's your business, not mine.


    If you feel the need to bitch about me further have the decency to take it to PM or a generally non-public forum.

    A couple of mine..

    phoning me for a "chat" an hour after i dropped her home
    waking me up in the morning looking for a cuddle..
    not understanding that when there's football on i dont give a sh!t about anything else
    wondering why i never seemed to have time for her when i was working a 6 day week, and catching up on my sleep on my day off
    going for walks with her "dog" (spawn of fcuking satan i swear)
    quiet nights in with her family. On a saturday night. watching winning streak
    teddy bears. not so bad you might think, until she starts bringing them to my house
    wearing her sexiest possible top on a night when i WASNT going out with her..

    and lots more


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 98 ✭✭cordelia


    So many...

    -one fellow (I swear this is true...) actually got angry when he saw me eating a cookie. He said he hated seeing girls eating sweets because they might get fat. I was, and still am, slender. This was the same fellow who suggested that I change my hair colour to blonde because it would be sexy. Not just a suggestion, but mentioning it EVERY time we passed a blonde. Booted him to the curb in record time...

    -Showing up unannounced at my work and then getting mad because I couldn't drop everything and chat for hours. I mean, come on, get a feckin' life already...

    -Indecisiveness. About everything from where to eat to where to live. A perfect candidate for a dominatreaux (bring on the gimp...).

    - I lasted two dates with a fellow who was a gamer. Now, I love my geeks as much as anyone else, but this guy LIVED for gaming. Talked to his friends as if he WAS the character he made up in the game. Bloody scarey. I ran, not walked, to the nearest exit.

    -using the words Dude, Killer, Rad' Man. I just want to hand them a dictionary and a thesarus...

    where to start....

    1. I like Hip Hop, he didnt. His rule was if he was around i wasnt allowed to play any of that "Nig*er" (his words, not mine) crap. If i did, he'd either loose the plot or just leave. Or if i was in the car, nag until i turned it off.

    2. Asking me to give up my best male mate cos he was jealous of our friendship.

    3. Not talking to me because i waved at a bloke i know in a shop.

    4. We were in college together and he's from the same place as I am so I saw him all week and on weekends. I used to spend Friday nights with the girls and he complained about this all the time.

    5. Telling me how to drive when he didnt even hold a provisional.

    6. When I was doing 40 in a 60mph zone, and it was raining and i braked but the car skidded so i steered the car to the side of the road and luckily we were ok but I was very upset and shaken and his first words to me were "your problem is you dont brake on time and you drive to fast"

    7. i told him i couldnt alot of time with him for a week cos i was really busy with college and he said "i cant believe you. your degree is only a piece of paper. its no excuse not to spend time with me" even though his is framed and on the wall in his sitting room
    The list goes on but i wont bore yee or pi*s myself off anymore than i am by writing this!! Oh, and i never cheated on him so he had no reason to not trust me

    Wow Roar, a lot of that sounded quite sweet actually! And some of the stuff you were saying...hopefully you were being sarcastic!

    Can't say I have any major peeves about mine...except maybe that she (very rarely to be fair) tells things I talk about with her to her friends, Its not so bad because I'm good friends with them too but...

    Oh and just to get back on topic... I can't really think of any peevs I have with my girlfriend. If something did bug me I'd tell her about it...as she would tell me if something bugged her. *shrugs* Compromise and the like. We all have our arguments, it's a part of life and the little things have a habit of being the easiest things to get ticked off about, when tired and stressed. Them be the fun times! ;)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    1. Eating my food. Order whatever you like m'dear like but don't touch or ask for anything on my plate unless I offer it to you.

    2. Insisting on holding hands everywhere we walk. Nice sentiment but not very practical on densly populated city streets.

    3. Asking me 'what I'm thinking?' all the time. Believe me luv, you don't wanna know.

    4. Getting peeved at my short shorthand writing style in my SMS's. Lifes too short to write properly spelt essays with a numeric keypad

    I can testify that his dating life is far from disfunctional - quite nice and happy :-)

    Oh and if u can get to know someone from one post than i'm gonna get quite worried now. :-)


    Oh and why is crying a bad thing? I don't think people who cry are weak - rather that they aren't bottling it all up until a point whereby they turn mental and kill everyone in sight.

    2) the way he used to flirt my mates when i wouldnt talk to him.
    Tbh, if you were giving him the silent treatment, it sounds like you kinda deserved it.
    4) the way he got all pissed off if his team didnt win. Christ like its only a freakin game.
    This is one of my pet peeves.. women who have a complete naivety for their partner's die-hard interests. I don't care if you don't "get it". God knows we put up with your emotional instability. Show him you understand he has a passion for this and don't be such an undermining spa. God that is such turnoff. Trust me he'll think you a keeper..

    My others include:
    - The "nothing" answer to "whats wrong" when there's something obviously wrong. When I get this answer I pretend to believe it. I mean if you're not gonna be straight with me then you're not gettin no sympathy.
    - Crying for no reason
    - Expecting everything to be perfect. Perfect first kiss.. first this perfect that.. FFS! Complaining when they're not and ruining the moment "just a sec the music isnt right" Nobody can live up to that! Just enjoy life, have a good time and laugh at the things when they go awry. We're not in a fukin movie! Expectations can KILL a relationship.
    - Hardly eating infront of me when you're slim / completely gorging yourself in a fit of gluttony when you're notsoslim.
    - Whats with the hair always being tied back!? It's never as good as when down!
    - Lastly, don't rub the lamp if you're not willing to let the genie come out. Talk about frustrating..

    Hoochiemama sounds like the only girl with the right to complain (and boy does she have it)..

    lol, cheers!! Now if i go out with someone the one and only thing i demand is independence. I agree with you as well on most of ur points, esp the football one!! Jeez, i dont like football but guys are guys, this is what they are passionate about!! deal with it.

    i read in an (english) magazine the other day that 76% of men would prefer to score the winning goal for England in the world cup than have sex.

    lol, i was surprised the percentage wasnt higher!!!

    - Crying for no reason
    alright first off. I agree lads are lads but getting so depressed that their team lost and taking it out on me is not on, i mean just get over it. That bloke im on about trained a lot at diff sports, we never really had much hang out time, was mostly texting week nights and when id see him on sat after a match he just acted like a complete gobsh!te. And he never had to put up with my "emotional instability"

    2nd off- theres always a reason.

    The one thing that really pissed me off about one of my ex's was that he used to patronise me in front of my friends if I made a little mistake.

    I'm quite prone to spoonerisms and malapropisms but my friends are used to this, there is no need to point out my mistake in front of my friends in such a way as to make everyone embarrassed.

    That's the only thing that's ever really gotten to me.

    Jesus lads, halenger has tried to put that public quibble to rest, let it go will ya's?

    Pet peeves of mine -
    Not telling me he has another girl friend until he had to dump me because he got her pregnant.
    Shaking his leg when it was touching mine, so that it made my leg shake.

    I think thats about it. People always have something that'll bug someone else, but sure that's jus the way of it. A relationship is built on getting past pet peeves, among other things.

    Why? Cos his ex basically made him look like a tool and he put up a rebuttle.. tbh I'd do the same. You have no basis on which to say the above other than to draw him out into a petty flame. Clam it with the pseudopsych analysis.

    Why else would you bother to flame him?

    Hmmm pet peeves,

    The football thing, where if my team lost a imporant match ( like trying to sta up) and i was a bit p*ssed off about it, saying it's only a game, then when she's in a state over something that happened on Corrie and i say "it's only a show" , her responc was to start throwing objects ( Cushions, tv remote .... cups) at me. So i never mentioned it again, i said sorry , but she couldnt' see how she was wrong....

    Insisting that i like her friends. Listen if i don't like some one it's not because i just decided it, I take my time to try and decided. ( one of her friends liked me , and did everything she could to break us up, didn't work though).


    Dropping friends once you start dating. I really hate this.... or when they expect you to do the same. and thankfully i have never done this.

    The What's wrong - nothing part , all my gf's found out very quickly that unless they was a clear indication otherwise i would leave it as that.

    I'm too tired. ok i was working 80 - 90 hour weeks, when i did get home some days i just wanted to sleep, veg out. but ohhh no you don't , come and help me look at clothes , No , ok then i won't speak to you for 3 days , but will leave voicemails where she sounded thoughly pissed off.


    But as was said, relationships are build with loving the other person for who they are, warts and all

    I think that's more than a peeve tbh

    What I had in mind when I started this thread were those things that you wish you could change about your (ex)partner because they're quite infuriating little personality foibles but that you'll put up with because you love them...

    Oh, and another one for me: being late. All the time. To the extent where after about a month I got into the habit of treating any time we had arranged to meet as being 15 minutes before the real time to be there for.

    Whats your problem with him anyway? He merely rebutted some 'accusations' in fair manner.

    They weren't accusations. And please really think before replying.
