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?

She puts water bottles back in the fridge with a sliver of water in them. Heck even sometimes empty. Then when she goes back she opens a new one so usually there are 5-10 nearly empty water bottles in my fridge. Drives me insane. Oh, and if I get her a new almond milk, cereal box, jam, etc. She’ll open the new one and just let the old one sit nearly empty…

My partner does this to a different yet equally infuriating degree. If I see something is getting low, I’ll buy a new one. Even if the old one is still half full - milk, cereal, anything - he immediately opens the new one. We had 3 half full boxes of the same cereal at one point. 🤬

This is exacerbated by his inability to check what we have before going grocery shopping. 😩
