People’s annoying habits that were documented by their own spouses

No matter how well you know someone, you'll never truly know them until you live with them. Once someone is in the comfort of their own home, that's when you'll really get to see their true colors.

You might discover that your girlfriend likes to keep a very tidy home and vacuums twice a week, or you might learn that your husband thinks it's acceptable to store all shapes of pasta in the same container.

Apparently, She Doesn't Like The Edges

Sometimes the edges of a brownie can get a little too hard during the baking process, we get that.

She could have just cut the edge off, though; she didn't need to ruin the whole pan.

The man—more like caveman—who lives in this house thinks it's acceptable to put loose pieces of steak in the fridge to keep for later.

At the very least, he could have put it on a plate, but Tupperware would have been preferred.

Debating the ideal ply of toilet paper is a can of worms that isn't worth getting into right now, but how about those who truly break it down ply-by-ply?

This Redditor posted the result of his wife's handiwork, which apparently involves breaking TP down to its individual ply levels.

Advent calendars are a fun way to ring in the festive season by...apparently opening up every single cardboard door and eating the chocolate within.

Of course, you're supposed to savor the candy, piece by piece, day by day — but this person is evidently a monster.

She's Not His Better Half

His "better" half, also known as his wife, left him half a Kit Kat in the wrapper for him to enjoy.

It's hard to enjoy it, though, when it comes with the knowledge that your wife doesn't know how to properly eat a Kit Kat.

We Don't Have The Energy To Tolerate This

Anyone who has ever lived with another person should quickly learn not to touch food that doesn't belong to them.

If we came home one day to find out that our roommates had thrown out our food or drink because they deemed it to be unhealthy, we'd be rioting.

To the husband's credit, he didn't eat this whole loaf of pumpkin bread, and appears to have used a knife.

ADVERTISEMENT

That said, this is a bit of a disaster. Besides the haphazard cutting, he's gone ahead and nabbed the deliciously caramelized end pieces all for himself.

Fun Knife, At Least

A wife asked her husband to pick up a crinkle cut knife for chopping up veggies. He returned home with this.

It isn't a crinkle cut knife at all since it has a flat blade, but the sides of it are at least somewhat crinkly.

Comfort For One

Imagine walking into your bedroom to see that your husband had bought a memory foam mattress topper for your bed, but only for his side of the bed.

What do you even do? Do you demand that he takes it back to buy a bigger one, or do you deal with sleeping next to a 3-inch thick piece of foam forever?

A Strange Habit To Have

"Every time my boyfriend eats cereal, he eats until there's only a few left floating in the milk, then he pours that out into the sink and leaves it there for me to clean up."

ADVERTISEMENT

Collect the cereal pieces and leave them in his shoes. He'll never leave them in the sink again.

Did He Even Try?

A husband put dishes away in a way that's subtly maddening for his long-suffering wife.

While the job was technically completed, everything's just a bit out of order, with soup bowls grouped with flat plates and things stacked in a haphazard way.

This kid was dressed by their dad, and to dad's credit, the wardrobe will suffice. All of the necessary garments — shirt, pants, and socks — are there.

A closer look reveals, though, the everything is a bit messed up. The socks are full of holes and the sweater isn't even put on the right way.

Stocking Up

Unlike most people who live on this planet, this man married one of the few people who likes to go grocery shopping without first checking what they have at home.

This results in his wife constantly buying things that they don't need, so they're left looking like doomsday preppers who are stocking up.

A frequent complaint in this household is that the heat doesn't work properly or that his wife can't get warm because it's so cold.

ADVERTISEMENT

Upon further investigation, it turns out the reason it's always cold is that his wife blocks the vent with various items like a Swiffer broom or winter gloves or the couch.

This woman asked her husband to pick up a Christmas tree. It seems like the tree farm was either picked clean or her hubby exercised abysmal judgment.

If this is the best tree you can find, you're better off getting an artificial tree or just going treeless until next Christmas.

When you have a drink and want to set it on a table, you should use a coaster to save the table surface.

In this case, a drink is present and not one, but four, coasters are also on display. All of the ingredients are there — and yet, this is somehow still a fail.

Those so-called "resealable" packages can sometimes be a bit tricky to reseal, but with a few seconds of effort, it's generally possible.

Of course, if you have zero chill in you, you'll just rip the bags open and leave them in a state that can never be resealed properly.

It seems mean to pick on someone for the way they eat an apple — after all, it's something that truly only affects said eater of said apple.

Of course, some apple-eating techniques are a little too strange to ignore. What is even going on right here?

What Was The Goal Here?

The absolute only time that we might deem this behavior to be acceptable is if every donut in the box was a different flavor and they were trying to sample them all.

However, it's very clear that there are duplicates here, so there's no excuse. Also, there's this thing called a knife that would have helped solve this problem.
