When I slurp, and he knows exactly what I mean! <3
Probably me nagging my partner over things she has already explained, i.e. "Thanks for not doing the dishes," met with, "I told you already, I have to wait until the caulking dries."
i asked her, and she asked that if it was the bad kind of crazy, it'd be nothing, but if it were the good crazy, it'd be everything. so yeah, not much of an answer. my answer is the same as hers too
Getting upset easily and not talking in a calm voice and the thing that he does that drives me crazy is opening a wrapper or package and not throwing it away but leaving it on the counter
When I say "it'll be okay don't worry. we can do xyz to make it better." It makes her feel like I'm not listening to her concerns. Sometimes it's good to just say "man that's shit, let's go for a walk" then think about solutions.
He is pretty patient, I can't think of anything that I do that drives him crazy...I'm very patient too but it does drive me crazy when he doesn't want to talk when I want to or when he is distant...you know 'the guy thing'
When I get upset with him I shut down and won't really share my feelings. He'll notice immediately and ask what's wrong, but I'll say nothing. One thing he does that drives me crazy is he lets his sense of right or wrong override happiness.
My indecisiveness and lack of passion/drive. I'm way too laid back for her. I dont' like her use of the word "whatever." She uses it way too much so there is no explanation of what she really means.
Drives my partner crazy: not knowing what I'm going to do next, my impulsiveness and lack of predictability and security; when I speak in a critical tone.
Drives me crazy: bad grammar, mumble-mouth and slovenly living.

He folds clothes, but never puts them away!!! It drives him crazy if I don't put them away. Hehe.
One thing I do: Hem and haw over where to get lunch or dinner. One thing my partner does: Pick at his nails, which makes a high-pitch click-y sound.
When I yawn, also I chomp food when its really hot cause I love eating it when its scolding hot. I don't like it when she doesn't put stuff back when she takes it out. I also don't like it when there are extra nuggets of food in her teeth from a previous meal. I also wish the fur burger came without the fur. Above all I hate it when she mumbles, if you're going to talk to yourself do it loudly and address yourself so I KNOW you're not talking to me. Verbal queues are hard to switch off.
too many things!
My need to have a plan for everything bugs the crap out of him. His slurping when he drinks and his nail biting.
I pretend to be jealous and cuss him out then throw my face in the pillow pretending to not talk to him when I am really just trying to hold in my laughter.
When he repeats everything I say.
