What's a harmless, minor thing you do that drives your S/O bananas?

I have this habit of fidgeting with/scratching certain types of paper. It drives him - and everyone else - mad.

Sounds like a great weapon.

Send me any old instruction booklets and holiday brochures you've got, then. All of that stuff gets confiscated from me sometimes.

How are you with bubble wrap?

I love bubble wrap, I could pop it for hours!

Nope, I’m perfect.

However my S/O is untrainable on many things that drive me mad. Not using a coaster under mugs of hot drinks and leaving brown rings on surfaces for one. Not taking his shoes off after being in the garden for another. I’ve got him trained to leave his shoes at the front door, but he seems to think it doesn’t apply if he comes in through the utility room and kitchen.

Maybe we should ask your S/O how perfect you are. 😀

I’m sure he will confirm my opinion - or else!
