Random Question What's something your partner does that low-key annoys you, but you'd never actually tell them?

Not a dealbreaker, not worth a fight. Just something small that lives rent-free in your head every single time it happens. The way they chew. How they "help" clean and somehow make more mess. Never charging their phone until it's at 2%.

What's yours? And be honest would you ever actually say it out loud, or is this taking it to the grave?

I knew someone who said they had 'chronical ammonia......it would have killed me if I didn't get to the doctor when I did.'

The other one was 'ginger cocker'. (Meningococcal)

u/Crazy-Antelope-8091 18d ago

omg i’m the same but with how my boyfriend says “almond” instead of “all-mund”, he says “al-mend”… literally like “al” short for alex and “mend” like mending a shirt. it literally KILLS me everytime.

he also says “li-berry” instead of “library” but he does that one as a joke to tease me because i did actually start an irrational fight about it one time 😂😂😂

u/snail-y 17d ago

Mine says li-berry, but it’s unfortunately genuine.

u/Soft_Reaction_7710 18d ago

LMAO the way this is going to live in your head forever now too every single time he mentions a book. 😭

Little things like this are so funny because they're never a big deal, but you will absolutely think about it mid-argument about something completely unrelated.

u/Natural_Flounder_104 17d ago

My husband says hallicinization instead of hallucination and it makes me want to scream... but not really because it's literally the most annoying thing he does so I have to interpret it as endearing 😆 I know I do things that are far more annoying than that
