Is there anything that your SO does all the time, that you can almost predict will happen??

For example, when we are eating out and there is a female waitress serving us, he (without fail) will do 3 following things:

*Tell her I'm only allowed to order from Kid's menu (hinting on my height)
*When there are few crumbs left on the plate, he will ask her if we can have it "to go".
*Hand her a library card instread off credit card to see confusion on her face.
This happens without fail.

When we are at the party and I had 2 drinks, he gives me a dirty look not to have anymore (without fail).

When we have new friends over, he will pull out his skydiving videos (without fail).

Anything for you guys?

Well, these things are funny when presented to a new person, but I can see how they can annoy somebody hearing them for the umpteenth time...

Heck, I can even predict what my coworkers will do and vice versa, of course.

When my husband talks on the phone with his friends he will say the word "man" a MINIMUM of 20 times.

Edit to add: He always sits facing the door/entrance when we go out to eat.

Well, anyone that's been with me for a while would tell you I ALWAYS "scope out" a new place and the people in it. I've been told I get that "searching look" in my eyes and get all serious-looking. If it's a really crowded place, I can be depended upon to act all squirmy - don't like crowds.

I also have a bad habit of adding "That's what she said last night" to almost everyone's sentences.

Yes, we can anticipate one another's dumb, nonsensical jokes. If I say something like, "This weekend, please put up the storm door," he will answer, "You're a storm door." If I say a sentence with a certain cadence, he will answer, "You're a __________." I know, it makes no sense. Sometimes he switches it up and says a "your mom" joke. For example, "I have to go to the grocery store" is answered by, "Your mom goes to the grocery store." (This is from Napoleon Dynamite: "Your mom goes to college.")

If I say, "I am going to call my mom," he answers, "What are you going to call her?"

I have my dumb inside jokes too. If he says, "What the heck [or another word] is this?" I answer, "It's the Internet." (From Jay and Silent Bob Strike back: "What the f*** is the Internet?")

Can't think of any others right now but we have tons.

True! We all have such habits, though.

The SO will always let out a gigantic SIGH when I just barely tap the brakes on the car when I am driving.

(Tap)

"EHHHHHH!!!! OMG!!!!!"

Everytime. I have been tempted to slam on the breaks when she is sleeping on a road trip just to see what happens but I am in fear of my life.

As for other things she will always and I mean ALWAYS come out of the restroom with wet hands and will grab a couple of napkins. She will not use the blow dryer. Don't know why. I can bet money on that one too.

I don't like using blow dryers, either. Feels like waste of time to me - like watching grass grow. The other reason may be I feel forced to "save the environment"!

Was at a job and asked, "Where's the boss?"

One of the guys working there said, "I don't know. He comes and goes as he pleases."

The other guy working there said, "That's what she said."

When my SO tells me he missed me, he'll add "with every shot so far" so now I say it in unison with him - I've got his cadence down pat.
