[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cold eggs comment reminded me of a current pet peeve. My DH and his parents take FOREVER to come to the table and fill their plates after dinner is ready, and waiting for them makes the food cold. I got really angry about this for Thanksgiving. On weeknights with DH i sometimes start eating without him (which I know is rude) b/c it’s so annoying to wait 10 min’s for him to come to the kitchen/dining room and do 3 other tasks before finally plating his food.[/quote]

I tell my husband "dinner will be ready in 15 minutes." He will go outside or to the garage to tinker around. But then 15 minutes pass and he doesn't come in. So I have to go find him. When I ask why he didn't come in, he says" I didn't know dinner was ready, you didn't tell me."

One of my big pet peeves is having to spell things out for people when I shouldn't have to. [/quote]

It's heartening to know I'm not alone in this problem! My DH does the same thing with disappearing right as I'm setting dinner on
the table. I think it's some kind of deep-rooted passive-aggressive move, TBH.

How can you tell a person dinner is going to be ready in 5 minutes, they acknowledge that, and then go do something that takes them out of earshot so you have to go find them?

The other thing mine does is we are getting ready to go out somewhere. He will stand poised by the entryway, keys in hand, and say, "Are you ready? I grab my purse and head for the door. Before I get there, he will turn and go back into the house - to his office, to the bathroom, etc. I now sit down on the couch, in my coat and purse in hand, and wait a good few minutes before he comes back and says again, "Ready to go?"  Almost every. single. time. [/quote]

yes, someone please explain this. My husband says, "you can wait in the car if you want" Yes, I want to be sitting in the car at 20 below, waiting for you to pee one last time. [/quote]
