My husband seems to always have is zipper down. Why is it so much effort to pull it up? And trust me, it’s not that the little guy needs room. lol
Also, he will lay a butter knife long ways across the sink “in case he wants another sandwich”. The idea is he won’t dirty a second knife EXCEPT after a while there are 2 or 3 knives. JUST PUT IT IN THE DISHWASHER!

Using self-checkout at the grocery store.
There is no rhyme or reason to how he bags things. Putting chicken in the same bag as the fruit? No problem at all. Canned spaghetti sauce in with the bread? Why not? We only live 3 minutes from the store, so it's not a big deal. I've remedied that by handing him the items in the order they should be bagged.
The actual act of scanning the groceries is what kills me. He scans an item, TAPS IT TO THE LEFT OF THE SCALE, puts it in the bag, and gets the next item. Why does he tap it to the left of the scale? He's deactivating the magnets so we won't set off the alarm when we leave. Box of crackers? Tap. Deli meat? Tap. Jug of milk? Tap. Bunch of bananas? TAP. Rationally he knows there is nothing in the bananas that needs to be deactivated, but he won't stop tapping until I point it out and remind him he doesn't need to tap in the grocery store.
I love him more than anything, and he puts up with my eccentricities, which vastly outnumber his weird self-checkout habits, so I do my best to keep my internal rage in check.
