    I would have to say:

    Eating food upstairs and leaving the dishes up here instead of putting them in the sink AND never throwing away their wrappers or trash, just leaving it for me to pick up.

    ~MIL thinks every family get together or holiday is an excuse to play cards. The rest of the folks there get ignored
    ~DD thinks she should type on one PC while I am working on the other. Makes thinking difficult
    ~DH leaves his shoes and different items in the living room or on the breakfast bar. I keep telling him to put them away!
    ~ but I of course, have no annoying habits! LOL.......

    We have an old refrigerator, and when it finally dies we will get one with an ice maker. DH puts the EMPTY ice cube tray back in the freezer when he's done with it, drives me nuts!

    DD doesn't put anything away. I have to hound her constantly (hate doing that!) I can't even get her to put the cap back on the toothpaste and put that and her toothbrush away!

    My whole family leave their shoes all over the house! grrrr

    DH leaves shoes everywhere! Sometimes he leaves dishes in the living room or sits them in the sink instead of putting them in the dishwasher.

    The shoe thing drives me crazy!

    ~DH will leave wrappers and boxes all over the kitchen counter when the trash can is 2 feet away.
    ~Shoes left all over the house.
    ~My children always forget to flush the toilet--yes, it's gross
    ~My DH ALWAYS take the toilet paper roll off and replaces it with a new one. No problem, but the roll that is taken off still has plenty left on the roll and he won't use it. I measured it one time and it was 12 ft of toilet paper. WTH!!!

    The first the DH does when he wakes up in the morning, and the first thing he does when he gets home is play his stupid video game.

    I am seriously about ready to throw it out the window.

    My MIL is so bothered by my DS's hair (he is growing it out for Locks of Love and it is 8 1/2 inches of big curls). She sees us at least 3 times a week and everytime she sees us she asks me "How long is John's hair? When are you going to cut it?" DH has started subtracting inches and telling her "7 inches" and then the next time he will say "6 inches" etc...Just to irritate her. If I have to hear "Boys don't need long hair" one more time I might have to scream.

    My sweet little precious dog, Frannie, barks at the front door when she hears a doorbell, car horn, or someone knocking on a door on TV.

    dh is another one who likes to leave his shoes anywhere.
    when anyone in this house looks in the fridge and says they cant find whatever because they havent moved anything in the fridge.

    ds2 gets into jars, pet foods, lotions etc, even his sippies and dumps them all over the floors. and he gets into the fridge and finds treats to give the bunny...a whole bag of carrots was missing int two days i couldn't figure out why...

    dd simply ignores me and won't clean up after herself

    ds1 will watch his brother tearing something apart and won't try to stop him. he'll sit there and ignore it. Also if he doesn't want to read a passage he3'll purposly act as though he can't read. He can...if it's somehting he wants to read.

    dh will answer his cell phone in the middle of a conversation. doesn't care that we were talking. out eating, phone rings, settling down to sleep, phone rings... he leaves his dirty groody socks out under the coffee table...

    i am perfect. they are lucky to have me. lol

    Hubby uses the last of the tp, gets a new roll, and sets it on the sink. If he's going to make the effort to get more tp, why can't he put it on the dispenser?

    ~When my darling husband wants something from the fridge he asks me what kind of container it's in and where exactly in the fridge it is. Like I have time to memorize things like that...Just look with your EYES, darn it! Sometimes it's worse than that, like "Where's the milk?". I usually answer something like "On the washer" just to let off some steam. He does this with cabinets too. It's a little too soon to tell what my kids annoying habits are. People might say mine were....hmmm.....I dunno. I must be another of those perfect people! I've just consulted with my DH and he says it's annoying that I don't spend more money on myself. Awwww. Sometimes he's so sweet!~
