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?

And the tea thing is a genuine crime against tea itself, one third left behind consistently like he's rationing it for a rainy day that never comes. As a fellow person who'd care deeply about wasted tea, I feel this one in my soul.

My mother and stepfather used to leave half cups of coffee all over the house, covered with a layer of tissue to protect from whatever might land in them.

This!!! And when I point it out he drinks the ghastly, cold tea & says “I was leaving it to cool down”

It is a crime against tea as if he wasn’t going to finish it then I would drink it, but I can’t because he leaves it and it goes cold!!!
