Reader Buzz: The Little Things

December 1st, 2006 @ 3:24 pm by Reader Buzz

Mrs. Bee here.

We all have little things that we disagree on with our significant others. One of those things for me and Mr. Bee are spoilers. See Mr. Bee reads the end of books, wants me to tell him how a book/tv show/movie ends if I’ve already watched it, starts watching tv shows in the middle of the program…

I, on the other hand, hate spoilers - I don’t read movie reviews, I don’t want to find out what happens in books/tv shows/movies ahead of time, and I can’t watch a tv show once it’s started (unless it’s a sitcom). Mr. Bee will start watching Law & Order (our favorite show to watch together) even if there’s only 5 minutes left. I absolutely can’t do that!

But I’m thankful that he never leaves the toilet seat up. ;)

What little things do you and your SO disagree on?

hm

table manners, which is just awful because no adult wants to have their table manners corrected. i will not do it in front of friends, but if it’s just us, i will say something about elbows on table, scraping silverware, etc.

I was trying to think of what we disagree on and then it hit me… food! For the most part, we have the same taste in food, but there are little things that make it hard when grocery shopping… he likes butter, I like margerine. He likes 2% milk or soy milk, I like skim. He cooks things in butter, I cook things in olive oil. I am learning to give in though!!!! No sense in making a big deal over something small. :)

My FH is a movie-watcher and I’m a tv-show person. This isn’t to say that I don’t love movies, and he doesn’t watch tv at all, but if he’s sitting around and bored he’ll watch one of his DVDs, even if he’s seen it a million times. I tend to not like to see things (or read them) if they’re still fresh in my mind, so I’d rather see if there’s some strange documentary or random show on tv.

How to fold the bottom corners of the bed LOL

Where my yellow dish gloves should be placed when not in use

How many times to use a dryer sheet

Whether or not to have a floor towel on top of the bath mat.

All little stupid neurotic schtuff that we laugh about.

I want the sheets tucked in, and he doesn’t.

I also want to know the end of suspenseful books/movies sometimes. I seriously can’t take the suspense.

I hate when he throws his socks “near” the hallway. Kills me.

I need him to wash his nasty sausage pan out, but he never does it, and I get fed up, so I do.

I wish he’d just set his alarm to the time he absolutely HAS to get up because I hate the sleep button.

He has a ton he hates about me, but I can’t list them all. One of his faves: I want to go out on weekends after riding a desk all week. He wants to just stay at home and play video games. :)

I can’t handle scary movies. Scary movies are his favourite type od movies.

I like spending money. He likes saving it.

Oh, and I can’t stand when he leaves his cigarette butt floating in the toilet. So gross.

He can’t sleep with the sheet tucked in at the bottom, and isn’t a big fan of sheets at all–he really would be happy with just a comforter over the fitted sheet!

He smokes in the house, which I don’t like–I hate stinky clothes and 2nd-hand smoke (but in our new apartment, he’s agreed to only smoke outside :-) ).

And on a bit of a grander scheme, I enjoy planning and hate surprises–he’s Mr. Spontaneous! But we compromise on that ;-)

OMG I thought I was the only one afflicted with a case of he doesn’t like to use a top sheet!!! That is so weird! He doesn’t believe me though when I say it is not normal :)

Same about the top sheet. I’ve learned to deal with that, when I stay at his place though…(we don’t live together yet, so I guess I don’t have much to add to this list…heh). But he likes to save, whereas I like to spend…although, I’m good at saving, I like to treat myself (and HIM!) I mean we earn it, why not enjoy it? I’m all gung ho about decorations, and he’s SO not interested.

how to cook/prepare a lot of things, frequency of his bathing & shaving, driving arguments, me being more patient… :)

my friend sent me this hilarious link that is so appropriate for this reader buzz. some of the language is slightly NSFW.
