what does your DH (or SO) do that drives you crazy?

SNORES I finally found the perfect earplugs. When he burns the papers he doesn't go around the house and empty all the wastebaskets. He will only burn what is already in the garage, that I have set out there. When I ask him why he doesn't collect it all, he tells me by the next time he burns it will be out there. (Only because I set it out there) Ugh.
I do have to add that he lets me buy new machines, fabric and whatever else I want. He even buys things at the quilt shop for me.

My husband has early alzheimer, but this still makes me crazy. He will cook soup or hot dogs in a pot and then he thinks just rinsing it out or using a sponge (no soap) is good enough. I don't say anything anymore. I know it is the disease because he used to be extremely clean. He also will eat ice cream in a bowl and rinse it and put it away. Needless to say I take dishes out of the cabinet and put them in the dishwasher just to be sure.

I think he's great--but then we've been a pair for about 50 years.
