What annoying superpower does your spouse have?

This is intended to be a light-hearted thread, not one for serious complaints.

My wife hates grocery shopping. Just hates it. I don't mind it so I get the groceries each week.

You'd think we'd put everything away together when I get home? Wrong...my wife has this uncanny sixth sense to always be in the shower when I get home with the groceries. It doesn't matter if I go early, mid, or late morning. If I have three other errands to run which would vary my arrival time home. Shoot, it doesn't seem to matter is she was already in the shower or just about to get in when I leave. Somehow, she always manages to avoid this by being in the shower. We've joked about it together. I have no idea how she does this so consistently.

Let's just say "Find My [XXX]" on your iPhone may play a role here. But LOL at your situation!

OP...I would have considered this since she has an IPhone but I'm an Android user. And I love my wife but she isn't the most technologically savvy person so I wouldn't expect her to be able to create a cross-platform hack or anything, unless she's really been hiding it.

Manages to zip his fly up only 10% of the time.

DW manages to complicate everything

My DH needs to poop right before the baby and toddler wake up from their nap. He has two hours of silence and in the last 90 seconds before they stir his bowels need to be released for the next 30 minutes. It makes me want to divorce him.

My DH can fall asleep in seconds. It’s a superpower I would love to have.

DH can sense something is bothering me before I even realize it!

He also has the ability to always make the kids smile when they’re upset.

My husband engages in literal carpet bombing. He enters a room, you count to 5, and the floor is completely covered with his stuff. A sock here, a bunch of papers there, a mug, a plate, a sweater... I don't know how he manages to always have enough stuff on him to cover a room.

PP- oops, I guess that last one isn’t annoying! It’s annoying when he gets me to smile when I’m trying to stay mad at him!

Mine too! 20 years in and it hasn't rubbed off on me at all - unfortunately!

Perfect pitch, 20/20 vision, needs very little sleep, and has a great sense of direction.

DH always has to poop at the worst times, right when we need to leave the house to be somewhere.

Amazed by how uptight and obsessive he is about cleaning something that’s dirty, e.g. kids spill on the carpet, or bleaching out a stain on a towel, and yet he is so messy/untidy at the same time.
