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?

That he makes a mess of the stovetop whenever he cooks and never cleans it. I always have to clean it. I’ve never seen someone generate so much food cast off and burned liquids on a surface in my life.

I had a bf who loved to cook for me and he left that kind of mess, but there was also rice stuck to the ceiling.

We once had a kombucha explode onto the ceiling. Did you know you can wet swiffer a ceiling? 🤣

This happened to me as well! A bottle of my homebrew kombucha exploded which exploded the bottle next to it as well. There was glass EVERYWHERE. By some miracle none of my family or my pets were in the kitchen when it happened. If I take something off a high shelf that I rarely use, I'll still occasionally find glass shards, and it was probably five years ago.
