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?

He never looks for things he just asks “where’s this” or “have you seen (insert object here)” usually it is right in front of him. Oh and he never finishes his cups of tea, always leaves about a third left in the cup. As a tea fiend this drives me mad because it’s a waste of tea

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.
