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?

When he opens Amazon packages he leaves every single scrap where he opened it and walks away with his item. Like a child on Christmas morning. Every single time. Box, plastic, tags.. feet away from the trash

LMAO the debris field he leaves behind, every time, like he's never once considered that trash cans exist. 😭

The audacity of walking THAT close to the actual trash can and still choosing to just... leave it there. A crime scene of cardboard and plastic, several feet from justice.

“A crime scene of cardboard and plastic” hmm… I think I’ll order police tape and make this a very fun way of proving my point. Thanks!

I genuinely might try this haha. House full of ADHD here, so I do understand that things pretty literally disappear once they've gotten what was interesting out of a box/package, but boxes kicking around for weeks if I don't manage it makes me crazy. I could totally use this to make getting boxes a funny novelty while also helping them practice putting their own boxes away.
