My daughter and I have exactly the same pet peeve. She has it because she and her brothers were trained out of it by me throwing strikes and refusing to cook. I still have it because I cannot get my husband to understand how annoying it is. The peeve is this- dirty dishes left on top of and not in the dishwasher.

DH will even rinse out his dirty dishes but cannot be bothered to bend over to stick it in the dishwasher. Maybe he believes in spontaneous transportation. The secondary peeve is that he usually leaves dirty dishes and empty cans or bottles next to where he sits. He is slowly learning to pick up after himself since I refuse to pick them up but at the same time there is a certain resentment on my part because I tend to police the house before I go to bed but since he stays up later than me I usually find stuff lying around in the morning. Aside from checking to make sure that there is nothing for the cats and dogs to eat, I leave them alone, but it puts a sour note on the day. I have tried to talk to him about how much it bugs me but he is under so much pressure at work.... I think his retirement in two years will mean a whole learning curve for him and I both.
