I'm sure this thought crossed my husband's mind in the early days. Almost 20 years into an otherwise good marriage, we've found a way to work around the Bruce issues. Mind you I like Bruce a lot too. And I've always been willing to acknowledge he's one of the best singers and songwriters around. I just won't concede that he's no. 1 (or that it's reasonable to claim that there is an objective standard for who should be considered no. 1) or that, good though he may be, we need to turn the volume up from a pleasant 5 to an ear-shattering 11 in order to give him his due.

I leave projects unfinished. Of course, he does it too, so we get annoyed together. And then we motivate each other to finish them (or toss them out).

I am like you. DH, however, not only likes clean surfaces but finishes every single project he starts. I have no list of projects I need done around the house because as soon as the words are out of my mouth, it is done.

I think DH wishes he could just mention things to me and they would get done. But my mind doesn't work like that. He usually has to remind me a couple of times.

I did this with Led Zeppelin. Remains our biggest point of contention that I don't like Robert Plant's screaming. DH would love a staycation though.

I refuse to eat leftovers
I start projects right as we're supposed to be getting out the door for something
I throw away everything, including important documents on occasion (I hate clutter)
I sneeze on the steering wheel of my wife's car and don't bother to clean it off
I turn the volume up on the TV when my wife is talking and I don't want to listen

I don't listen when I'm focused on something else.

I stand at the fridge, starting at [item I am looking for] while shouting "Honey, where is [item I am looking for]?"

When she's gone sometimes I turn her stuff upside down. Very carefully though so nothing gets broken.

When she's sleeping in the morning I wake her up with the "Everything is Awesome" song at full blast from my phone!

As soon as I get home I hop in the bed, mess up the covers then hop back out.

I give her raspberries on her face.

Lol!!!

(Unless it was Dancing in the Dark.)

Breathe

I initiate conversations across the house from another room.

I don't properly close the fridge door so it seals.

I balance our finances very methodically.

I Leave clothes or other crap,around the house that make it messy then I complain and get super annoyed when he does it.

Important question is why are you dating a woman just like the woman you just divorced?

you think these traits are limited to just these two women on the planet?
