I’ve heard from SO many women who have said they think our husbands must have been cloned or separated at birth. Could it possibly be true? Are there really other robot-talking, green-sweater-wearing, odd-birthday-gift-giving, laughs hysterically at fart jokes men (and even women, apparently!) out there?
Well, call this Photo Friday. Here’s a picture of my husband doing his finest ‘Zoolander’. He is constantly making weird faces and striking poses. I’m not sure if he thinks there are cameras everywhere catching his every move or if it’s some kind of tic.
"How YOU doin'?"
Can it possibly be that there are other wives (or girlfriends) who have photos of their men as disastrously bad as this? If so, I need to see them immediately! Send them to me at myhusbandisannoying@live.com and I’ll post the worst of the worst on Photo Fridays. Don’t be afraid…we’re all friends here. (You’ve been telling me about your guys’ versions of the infamous green sweater; some of them sound pretty camera unfriendly but I’d sure like to see them!)
MHIA READERS RESPOND!
From Chandra about her husband Chris:
She says: this is “the burnt orange Texas Longhorns cap that he has had since he was 13 (he’s 24 now) that he wears constantly. Its not an outfit unless he’s wearing the cap. The hat smells terrible because he’s never washed it and is more brown now from dirt than orange. I’ve been told that if I wash the hat, I’m going to be out on the curb. It’s that serious.”
(And what is it with husbands and beers in every picture, anyway?)
Now want to see what’s under that cap? “Then we have the devil horns that he loves to twist his hair into (using lots of spit of course) and make silly faces whenever he’s in between hair cuts and his hair starts getting a little unruly.”
Nice! Thanks Chandra!
From Brandy:
“He thinks he’s sooooo cool.”
From Amber:
“One day, I walked by the bedroom door, then reversed and did a double take. My husband was reading, but had a pen stuck in one nostril and a highlighter in the other. He looked at me casually as if to say, ‘what?’
‘Um, you have pens up your nose.’
‘Yes. You have to do something to fight the boredom! Don’t you do that?’
‘No…’
And I walked out of the room and immediately got the camera. Unfortunately, he had already removed the highlighter (he needed to use it to mark his book) but the pen was still there.”
From Tatiana about her boyfriend Tyler:
“Tyler insists on me taking his picture all the time. This is a picture of Tyler and his dinner lobster Larry in Maine.”
Tatiana, I have to admit I don’t know many people who (a) take pictures with their dinner and (b) name it!

Boy, do I have a picture for you!
Now if only I can talk my husband into allowing me to share this profound photograph of man at his best (or so he thinks….).
myhusbandisannoying // August 21, 2009 at 1:53 pm |
Share, share!!
TheMaid // August 21, 2009 at 1:59 pm |
I’m may just have to send it just so you can get a laugh…..
Lindsay // August 21, 2009 at 2:01 pm |
I will start looking through my electronic photo album. My husband is so freakin funny stupid! My closest girlfriends laugh at their husbands too. I read every post you wrote and the comments by others. Believe me, your marriage will last a lifetime! I tell stories about my husband everyday while he is sitting next to me and he laughs and adds to the story…

I guarantee you two will be married for life. My husband and I have been together for 24 years, and we have six children. We both have very irritating faults, annoying habits and our own sense of humor, among other things…LOL We compliment each other, because we are so different from each other. I would love to share both of our faults and annoying traits and habits, but that would take up a lot of space…LOL Anyway, Congrats and Good luck in the future, you both sound like you are really happy, and I know this was a marraige made in Heaven. I can’t wait to read some more. Marraige is a lot of work, but it can also be a lot of fun. If you can’t laugh at each other, then who can you laugh at…LOL
Jess // August 21, 2009 at 3:12 pm |
I just love your website! I too have an annoying husband, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Hopefully I can find some pics of him and send them your way!
Chandra // August 21, 2009 at 4:21 pm |
Thank you so much for posting the pics of my darling dearest! I shouldn’t judge him since in most pictures of me, I have my tongue sticking out. Chris is also a lovely singer, making up songs about everything, from having to use the restroom, to using the Team America song (America F**k Yeah!), changing a few words out to describe dentist appointments. I can’t stand it, but I honestly don’t know what I would do without him.
Spikey01 // August 25, 2009 at 3:43 pm |
I found my husbands twin…. Chandra, my hubby does that too!! He has new lyrics to almost every song.
Tim McGraw-Don’t take the girl~~~~Don’t shoot the squirrel.
Of course they get more graphic, but still hard to keep a straight face when they come on.
nancy ps // August 21, 2009 at 5:15 pm |
Ditto….My husband can be annoying also but I’ll keep him over Brad Pitt. Keep up the good work!
Nuna business // August 21, 2009 at 6:04 pm |
I think it’s ridiculous that you make fun and ridicule your husband. Leave him alone. You did get to choose the man you married. You were not forced to marry him.
Nuna business // August 21, 2009 at 6:06 pm |
I am just wondering what he is thinking about this website…?????????
Natasha // August 21, 2009 at 6:46 pm |
If you were truly paying attention you could note that he is fully aware and has in fact responded to her posts. It’s called having a sense of humor. Maybe you should find one.
Spikey01 // August 25, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Tell em Natasha…..
Hey Nuna business….MIND YOUR OWN if you don’t like it.
MyHusbandisAnnoyingToo // August 21, 2009 at 6:46 pm |
He probably thinks it is funny like my husband. Otherwise, I am sure she would not be writing this blog. You either get their humor or not. I just read an interview between the two of them and they seem so cute and in love! If you don’t get it then don’t read it!
lorraine // August 21, 2009 at 10:27 pm |

Lorraine:
LOVE THIS! I did the same thing (clothes) to the love of my life as well. LOL!!
If it makes you feel better, mine thought himself pretty spiffy in SOCKS and SANDALS with khaki shorts and a collared shirt. I told him: “Oh hell no… you are NOT wearing that.”
We still laugh about it!
tl // August 24, 2009 at 11:06 pm |
“we are not BERATING them because i tell my husband to his FACE every DAY how annoying he is… ”
Irony meter up in smoke.
Kelly // August 21, 2009 at 10:49 pm |
Any one elses husband also end everything you say with, “That’s what she said…” in an attempt to be witty (I think. Okay, I hope that’s what this is).
amy // August 24, 2009 at 11:31 pm |
Oh yea – my husband says that all the time. His other classic … when I ask him where something is he will say “if it was up your a** you’d know”
Kathy // August 22, 2009 at 11:15 am |
My parents have been married 45years, and my mom says my dad used to have the 1950/60s version of The Green Sweater. It was olive green, zipped up the front, and the colors alongside the zippered front were a narrow band of black and a narrow band of cream. She says it is the only sweater she ever saw him wear with any regularity, and when it started to wear out and get to icky for public viewing, it hung in the closet and I remember we used to slip it on to take out the trash or bring a load of wood up to the door. She says finally it got to nasty for even that, and she got rid of it. So far, dad hasn’t missed his green sweater. I used to think it was a generational thing – wearing things until they were truly worn out. You should see some of dad’s shirts! Mom would turn them from long-sleeved to short-sleeved, but then the collars are destroyed and the shoulders are thin and still he’d say, “That’s a good shirt.” Is your husband just frugal, or is he just extremely attached to what he feels is a must-have fashion accessory?

I wore that very robe earlier this month, provided in my room by some boutique hotel in San Diego.
I can assure you, I looked damn good in it. As does your husband.
Jess // August 22, 2009 at 4:27 pm |
These pictures are great. I’m gonna have to get one of the hubs doing something ridiculous! And Lorraine, that totally sounds like my husband. Maybe they should get together and go bowling sometime…lol
DP // August 22, 2009 at 9:14 pm |
Your blog is my new guilty pleasure. LOL.
If we only knew the real true about our men before we got married, would we have married at all ?!
I see so much of your husband in my own. Its great. Don’t stop writing – raving fan for life.
Valerie // August 22, 2009 at 10:36 pm |
My husband is not all that annoying, but he does throw his dirty clothes in the floor as if some magic fairy will come by and put them in the hamper. Other than that, I think I’ll keep him.
Valerie // August 22, 2009 at 10:41 pm |
Oh, and as far as leaving the house looking weird…my husband learned a long time ago to ask me to pick out his clothes for him. He’s like my giant Ken doll.
Kelly // August 23, 2009 at 12:06 am |
OMG these pics are absolutely hilarious. Made my night!!!
Scott "Genghis" Wong // August 23, 2009 at 5:59 am |
Tiff—have you noticed that I always wear (every day) black jeans and a black sleeveless t-shsirt? Must be a chromosomal thing.
Love, Dad
Deb // August 23, 2009 at 8:56 am |
My first time here and I love it! What is that bathrobe he is wearing? OMG! My husband is not properly dressed unless he is wearing a Chicago Cub’s t-shirt (he has many!), some ratty faded shorts and the same sandals he has been wearing for at least 5 years. He thinks this outfit is appropriate for everything from grocery shopping to dinner with friends. He has breand new (non-stinky) sandals in his closet but he is “saving” them. For what????
Keep up the good work.
Sandi // August 23, 2009 at 5:53 pm |
OMG … Want to hear something REALLY funny?!?!? Whenever my husband has his picture taken w/ me he puts two fingers up behind my head, so it looks like I have antennae or ears or something. It’s hilarious!!! Yeah, I don’t really think so either. Wouldn’t trade him for anyone … but sometimes it’s hard to believe he’s 50-something and not 12.
Tatiana // August 24, 2009 at 12:18 pm |
Tyler saw his picture on here and asked if he won a prize.
Hahaha he is wild.
Keren // August 24, 2009 at 4:00 pm |
OMG! My husband is a huuuuuuuuge dork! I love him dearly and would not change him for anything…but my god is he annoying….from using his Iphone in the toilet from being the only guy in the PD (yes he’s a police officer) that wears the tighty wighties in the changing room…
CJ Newberg // August 24, 2009 at 4:18 pm |
TOO FREAKING FUNNY!!! The guy w/ the pen up his nose is my husbands twin!!
mary // August 24, 2009 at 5:16 pm |
love the updates of others sending in their stories/pictures, i am still laughing/crying and have told everyone about your website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Keep up the good work, I just told my daughter about this and she called me from NY crying…………..
Alex // August 24, 2009 at 5:36 pm |
mer man! mer man!
i think i’m getting the black lung…..
shannon // August 24, 2009 at 7:49 pm |
The green sweater to the man is the favorite bra to the woman. Have you not seen bras barely holding together and even with holes but women don’t dare throw out – for they love that bra. Ugh! We are all so funny, and if you cannot laugh at yourself, well at least we can laugh without you.
You two are the Desi and Lucy of the modern age!
Amanda // August 30, 2009 at 10:07 pm |
Oh Why oh why do I refuse to take photos of my husband unless he is dressed in ‘nice’ (ie approved) clothes..!?
I am itching to share, here, but haven’t got any proof!!
When I met my guy he had 7 identical tshirts, one for every day of the week of course. They all had holes and marks on them and you could see his nipples through them they were so thin (yuk. Yeah, I know, guys, but believe it or not GIRLS don’t like looking at MENS nipples. OR having chest hair poke out at them.)
Anyway the REALLY gross thing about these Tshirts was that they were all giveaways from his first year at Uni (college) and to ‘earn’ them from the student bar, he had had to drink himself completely senseless, for seven whole nights.
And then at the end of the night, they gave him a T shirt.
He still can’t see why this isn’t something to exactly be proud of!
Gloria's New Place // August 31, 2009 at 12:54 am |
Okay now I’m near tears from laughing. This one was great.
Amanda // August 31, 2009 at 4:14 pm |
He’s so cute when he’s being dumb
He’s actually a really smart, educated guy, but he spent years trying to convince anyone who would listen that he earned those t-shirts, and that it took loads of dedication, effort, skill etc etc. He seriously treated them like Olympic medals.
You gotta laugh…..
Lauren // September 2, 2009 at 3:35 pm |
My husband has a titlest had that i smelly and definitely not the color it used to be as well as a pair of shorts that he claims used to be navy blue! I believe the hat was lost the last time we moved but he still has those shorts…and wears them at least once every week. But i love him faded shorts and all.
