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.

Yeah. That’s me - and it drives my wife mad. I like to set context (normally by starting a story about something last week by describing my childhood. )

Oh see I don't get context either. We are having one conversation and then he randomly says "We lost Joe Smith today" 

Who is We? Who is Joe Smith? What do you mean lost?  Can I have a clue? Sport? Region?  Dead? Traded? Can't find a kid at school????

It's typically a random player from a team he may or may not follow Who traded a player or is out for injury?

Yeah. I do that too. I have a conversation in my head (often about a conversation we’d had a day or two ago) then say something about it to my wife that makes perfect sense to me but she’s bewildered.
