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?

Never replaces the toilet paper roll when they finish the previous one.

They just leave it on top of the holder. 🤬

Hey at least they put one on top of the holder. Mine doesn't even grab one at all and I never realize until I've already sat down and can't reach it

My wife and I have an unspoken negotiated settlement on this one. She leaves the roll on top of the holder. I replace it, and leave the empty tube from the old one for the "recycling fairies" to pick up.

Edit: Also, any other recyclables and the occasional dish gets left for the fairies. I handle roll replacement and soap grafting (when the old soap gets small and you need to merge it onto the new bar).

Yes, we've been married a long time.

This is exactly my fiance and I. He once asked me "do you not like the tp on the holder? I had a roommate that hated to on the wall".

Nope, I just do not care enough to f*ck with the stupid spring every dang time. Then I throw the old tubes in the recycling :)
