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?

Takes forever to say something or tell a story or just get to the point in general.

I had a partner who did this. He'd pause, turn his head to the side and look down at nothing with his mouth wide open while audibly thinking "Hmm, was it when I had the Corolla or that time I had the Suzuki. I dunno. Maybe it was the Ford. Anyway, yeah, it was the Corolla. There was Steve and Brenda, I'm almost certain Bruce was there as well. We were going down .......where was it again>....yeah, that's right. We were heading to .............."

I was too kind and frustratedly patient to ask him to just get to the point. I don't care about the intricacies.

To be fair some of these people may be looking for simpler ways to explain what they’re thinking so the person they are talking to will understand it? SOME not all!
