6. Not doing housework …
This one will be slightly tougher to solve, so try negotiating. Agree that if he runs the Hoover around once a week, you’ll greet him from work with a bacon sarnie, or let him watch the rugby without interrupting.
7. Burping and farting …
The easiest way to solve this one would be to adopt the habits yourself, but if your much too ladylike for that, remind him that you’d be so much more likely to seduce him if he could be discreet…
8. Absolute helplessness when sick …
Man flu is alive and prospering in men these days, so when he gets sick, expect him to need the same treatment and attention as a child. There isn’t much you can do about this one, except stock up on chicken soup and cough mixture that will put him to sleep. A whisper that you can’t wait until he’s better might aid the recovery progress, too. Or try these 5 Most Effective Natural Ways to Fight Flu … if you want to put an end to his (and your sufferings) under 2 days!
9. Channel surfing!
Take the remote control away from him, or threaten to cancel the Sky subscription. Or if you’re feeling especially annoyed, do the same thing to him, during the football. He’ll soon understand how annoying it can be!!!
10. Wearing the same old thing over and over …
I noticed that many men have the strangest attachment to some weird looking old piece of clothes they just wouldn’t let go off. It might be old trainers or a terrible T-Shirt with an offensive message. Either way, the best solution for this problem is negotiation. I’d tell him that if he gets rid of it, he’ll be getting a very generous compensation (according to your man’s preferences) in the bedroom for the whole month.
If that doesn’t work, I’d come up with an “accident” in which the poor thing will get ruined and will never be worn again. It’s better if it’s some one else’s fault, so that you do not get all the blame (asking your mutual friend or a relative for a hand in ruining the evil thing could be best – like making it shrink or change color after the wash, you get the idea ;)

Of course, the best way to fight any habit you hate is to tell him how much it annoys you, but doing it yourself is a close second. Have you solved your man’s extra annoying habit? Share your tactics here!!!

Oh, and there’s always leaving almost empty containers in the fridge! :) But leaving the socks and underpants all over is my favorite :)
I love your recommendations, I’ll try with my guy. Thanks for all these. :)
Good luck, dear Joy :) It might not be easy at first, but I figured that smart negotiating can truly change a lot in his behavior. The most important part is to praise him when he does the right thing, he’ll like it so much, he’ll never do wrong again :))
Good luck!
I wrote a rebuttle to this article on my website, but for some reason I can’t leave a link back to the article.
It is meant in good fun.
Well…….yea, I guess you have a point there. I’m guilty of almost everything on this list at one point or another.
This is so funny, I actually do most of these things XD (got it from my daddy)
Jane,
Lol so you did get it from a man :p No but seriously I’m guilty of doing some of these things too….Leaving hair behind in the sink and channel surfing for starters. But selective hearing is so totally a guy thing. That and burping and farting …Ugh!
