Heheh - my dh is infamous for hanging around while I do stuff until I'm almost finished, and then asking if I need a hand. He does loads of houseworkhimself, he just has terrible timing when it comes to helping.

I was reminded of my pet peeve when we went to see Blue Jasmine the other night - people who so badly need to talk about themselves that they just skip the whole polite "and how are YOU doing?"-phase of a conversation. I have several of them in my family...
