Just wondering. Mr C always asks why I remove my eyebrows only to pencil them back in??? I always ask why he kicks the tyres of a car/shakes them when having filled them with air????? (Actually, not only then but, other times as well.) Ladies, do your men do this also?

Any others to share?

Jeannine never does anything odd. Ever. She'll let go of my arm soon...

It reduces our nephew Eliot to tears of laughter every time, funny how kids love gross stuff like that...

The whole 'pull my finger' thing, even the children don't find it funny. Gross!

i can't answer, just think they look neater

i have a double jointed thumb and can 'dislocate' it at will, kids think it is great but the OH removes my 'privileges' for at least a week if she catches me, claims it is far to traumatic for her

Too many strange things to mention, but he does have one or two pretty funny sayings - a couple I can remember are:
"Busy overtakers, busy undertakers" - when I'm driving. He's an ex driving instructor
"In the fullness of time" - usually when asked to fix something or put up shelving etc

if i ever get an OH, i'll watch out for "odd behaviour" ......

Hahahaha, I like that one...

My OH is always "Just resting his eyes..." when he gets in from work, 'cept the snoring usually starts within 5 mins....

“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

asking obtuse/vague not direct questions. It leads to all kinds of arguments!
"what are you doing today?" when he means "have you ironed my shirts yet?"

always asking me to check something he's written and getting cross when I correct it for spelling/grammar/understanding

Packing to go away for a few days ...I ALWAYS get the comment on the lines of ...."and have you packed the kitchen sink?" with.." I only need to grab a few undies and T-shirts"

OK..one question...WHO on earth washed/ironed /cleaned/shopped/sorted out kids stuff/medicines/pet care and finally packed the stuff?????

Always puts me in the perfect mood to start a holiday!!

( actually now the kids don't go with us it's SOOOO much easier!)

I'm such fun to be with!

My OH NEVER says he likes anything. It's always a non-committal 'I can't see anything wrong with it'. Drives me mad. Also, after almost 30 years of marriage, he has recently started doing this funny little grunt when he's eating, but only when there's just the two of us, if we have friends or family round for a meal he doesn't do it. WHY?

That made jeannine and I laugh out loud

Mine can't see why I buy big pieces of fabric, cut them up small and then stitch them back together again. I've given up trying to excplain it to him. If you don't do patchwork, you'll NEVER get it! I also get asked by some friends why I bother growing food when you can get it so easily at the supermarket. Same problem. If you have to ask the question you won't understand the answer!

Updated November 30th - Mr Stinky's Excellent Adventure (and a Christmas Cake)

If I'm grumpy/hormonal, my OH gets super grumpy back - I have to stop him and say "look, it's not a competition you know!"

Also, my OH is a software engineer, and if he's doing some extra work at home (evenings/weekends), he'll often stop for what he calls 'a little think'. This involves him lying flat out on the sofa and falling asleep for an hour or so!!

Its a good thing I love him (and that he's not on the vine himself! Hee Hee)

that is perfectly normal behaviour for us programmers / software engineers
in fact, it's almost compulsory

Lol, OH has just said 'there your are! Now I'm going to have a little think'.

Oh well, it keeps him quiet I suppose

mine gets moody coz the kids wont leave him alone. they want daddy, daddy do this, daddy do that daddy daddy daddy. He just don't get it that he never says NO if he did they would get board and leave him alone. He will even stop the car and get out to pick up a dropped toy i just turn up the radio so i don't hear the screaming, then he has a go at me because aparently i can't drive with loud music coz i wont know when to change gear unless i can hear the engine i don't get it.

my OH refuses to give me an honest opinion if I cook something new. he thinks he's being polite, but it just drives me potty as I'm trying to expand the repetoire and I have no idea what I can do again and have him actually enjoy. (doesn't just apply to stuff he doesn't like, he also doesnt vocalise much if he does like it!)

and he's very 'my opinion is the only opinion worth anything' which totally conflicts with his otherwise left wing, punk rock personality!

that said I love him to bits and he can always cheer me up. without fail.
