This is a question Annoying Partners

As a recent divorcee, it would be churlish to reveal what annoys me the most about my ex, apart from that unfortunate business with the crinkle-cut beetroot which tipped us over the edge. So, what winds you up about your significant other? If you have no partner, tell us about workmates. If you have no workmates, improvise with an annoying tramp

Some more
- Shopping is not recreation
- Yes, I probably do fancy your sister / best friend / my co-worker. So what? Surprisingly, I'm able to be attracted to someone and still function normally, without leaping on them and tearing their clothes off. Otherwise I'd probably not be able to make it to the end of the street.
- If you say that "Nothing's wrong", I'm going to act as though nothing is wrong. I know it's probably a lie, but I have no hope of following the tortuous path of assumed attitudes and imagined motives that have upset you, so I'll wait until you actually tell me something specific.
- I am not psychic
- I have no idea what X "meant by that". Men, in general, say what they mean to each other. The doublespeak nuances of female social interaction are a closed (and uninteresting) book to us
- I am not psychic. I know I've said this before, but it doesn't seem to be getting through to you

That's the spirit!
- If you want to talk to me in the house, stand or sit in the same room as me and talk. Don't carry on wandering from room to room while you look for your keys/shoes/knickers/whatever making me either annoy you by saying "what?" or annoy you by following you around like a puppy so I can hear whatever it is you're wittering on about.
- Socks and underpants do not need to be ironed. In fact, very few of my clothes do, except office clothes, because I buy ones that don't need ironing.
- Your jokes about multi-tasking are partly true. It's not so much that men can't do more than one thing at a time, but that we really can't fully concentrate on more than one thing at a time. Highly charged and emotional conversations on the State of The Relationship while we're driving to your mother's/the airport/work/a parent's funeral really aren't going to be productive for us or you.
- Sex is not only possible in places other than the bed, and at times other than last thing at night and weekend mornings, it's fun. Uncannily, if the only time you appear willing to engage sexually is last thing at night when we're tired anyway, sometimes you will be rejected by us yawning, falling asleep, etc.

I don't understand these repeated references to irony

I'M BEING IRONIC. IT'S A COMMENT ON HOW SEXIST MEN CAN BE! HONEST!

Well, who would have thought it?
It figures.
