I do the same thing, I drive my husband nuts but mines more of I can’t have silence at any time, even rocking the baby to sleep, tele on, doing anything, there has to be background noise and yes even putting the washing out, my tv will be onAs soon as my husband gets up and goes downstairs the tv goes on. Whether hes watching or not its on. If he goes outside its still on.
Definitely weird to me too! Also does the hot water not ruin his toothbrushes really quickly?I don't know if this is weird but it's weird to me, my partner brushes his teeth with hot water. I think that must be the least refreshing way to a clean mouth
I definitely get the companionship side of the tv being on for long periods, seems quite a few people do this. Interesting isn't it. It was always drummed into me as a kid that the tv must only be on if there's a definite programme to watch. Now if I'm alone in the evening I'm more likely to have the telly on for a bit of background, but always on mute unless I'm actually watching it.I do the same thing, I drive my husband nuts but mines more of I can’t have silence at any time, even rocking the baby to sleep, tele on, doing anything, there has to be background noise and yes even putting the washing out, my tv will be on
I always have the tv on too. More just for background noise as I WFH but even if I'm just reading in the evenings, I have the tv on and some programme I've probably seen 100x over just on in the background.Its always blasting. He's always shouting over it. Its just totally unnecessary. And yes... I am constantly turning it off. He always comes in 20 minutes later asking why I've turned it off.
When we go out I have to tell him to turn it off. It's not natural at all for him!
I should have known tbh. Its my own fault. When we both lived at home he would leave the TV on and his family never said anything so it's obviously just their norm!
That's interesting about counting down to the telegraph poles or obstacles. Certain habits we've learned when young just stay with us don't they. Glad youre counting in your head though & not out loud! I bet you barely notice you're doing it. xWhen I'm travelling in a vehicle, I count 1,2,3 up to telegraph poles, signposts etc. or marks on the road (like pothole repairs). It's from when I rode horses and was learning to jump, instructor had me shout the last three strides before the jump. The telegraph poles etc. are the "jump". I've done it most of my life now.
Only when I'm sat in a front seat, mind. Oh, and I'm counting in my head, not out loud!
I've only just seen this. I can see how this seems weird but in a kind of humanising way at least you're thinking of the welfare of the milk on the shelves!when I’m buying milk if there is one that’s left on it’s own, I’ll have to get it so it’s not on its own. If there’s 2 left on one shelf, I’ll chose one from the next shelf, so that one isn’t left behind on its own.
When I read this I had to think hard what I do.... but I definitely don't close my eyes. I look occasionally in a little mirror at the sink to check how I'm brushing.I close my eyes when I brush my teeth.
Aw I do similar things. Like if I need to bin some veg or something that went off I apologise to it to say sorry it didn't fulfill its destiny of being eaten lolwhen I’m buying milk if there is one that’s left on it’s own, I’ll have to get it so it’s not on its own.

I can relate to the idea of apologising to uneaten food.... and being a tad frustrated with myself too for not using it. xAw I do similar things. Like if I need to bin some veg or something that went off I apologise to it to say sorry it didn't fulfill its destiny of being eaten lol
I get you totally on this! I like the tv volume on even numbers though, so 12, 16, 20 etc. Weird innit?!The tv volume can only be on a number divisible by 5. If it’s on 23 let’s say, i can’t do it. It will have to go up or down.
I rode when I was young too and while I don't count, I do mentally 'jump' poles in my head as well.When I'm travelling in a vehicle, I count 1,2,3 up to telegraph poles, signposts etc. or marks on the road (like pothole repairs).

With the hot water teeth brushing, does the partner have teeth that are sensitive to cold? I use warm water because of this.
I know who that weatherman is without a name needing to be saidI like the tv on for background noise I fall asleep to tv when husband is away. I need noise to sleep to.
Probably a bit weirder but I will give tv weather people nicknames like bellend cnut and tittyanna. I'm not going to say who those weather people are. Everytime bellend comes on tv I say his nickname.
As soon as my husband gets up and goes downstairs the tv goes on. Whether hes watching or not its on. If he goes outside its still on.
If only, that might mean I had more peaceThink we must be married to the same man!
I do too as it's less harsh on sensitive teeth than cold water.I don't know if this is weird but it's weird to me, my partner brushes his teeth with hot water. I think that must be the least refreshing way to a clean mouth
