[Our guest poster today is Colette, whose husband has a strange idea of what makes a funny picture. Thanks for the laughs, Colette!
Got a story about your man that you think would make other people laugh? Send them, along with any pictures, to me at: myhusbandisannoying@live.com.]
We’ve heard a lot about ‘hold-his-arm-out-while-he-tries-to-make-us-look-like-a-cute-couple’ travel photos. My (almost as annoying) husband insists on the ‘I’m-really-funny-because-I’m-pointing-to-something’ photo. The key to the shot is a Vanna-like pose, which he does so well in his green (yes I said green) sweatshirt that he wore every day of our recent trip to Barcelona. (And he doesn’t even know about the infamous green sweater).
It all started a few years back when he traveled to China on a business trip, and e-mailed me a photo of himself:
Can you tell he’s standing in front of the Great Wall of China? Yeah, it was funny – and I made the mistake of laughing – and now all we have are travel pictures like this one:
He thinks it’s even funnier when he makes a face while pointing:
And as the day goes on he tries out a new move:
Shall we give him extra points for creativity? The worst part is that he makes me do ‘the pose’ as well:
He refused to climb up the stairs until I pointed to the art museum. (Sigh…) But his favorite was this one where he is pointing to the… wait for it… yup, it’s a subway wall:

LOL at least he is consistent.
Yes, consistent he is!
I think this is a most endearing annoying-husband trait!
Just realized I gave my bf a green hoody for Christmas. I’m totally asking for it, aren’t I…
Hey, I know that guy (for over 20 years) and I have never seen him do that pose. And he isn’t annoying!
I have known this man for 46 years from his Dark Shadows vampire fangs to this and I can honestly agree yeah that is kind of annoying lolol but thats Harry’s humor…annoyingly funny. To know him is to love him.
LIL sis
That’s hysterical!
That’s our Harry: annoying AND brilliant. Those are great photos. VERY funny.
Oh, did I forget to mention he is brilliant? Yes, he is… brilliant, consistent, and annoying…
Co, I love this! A guy with a sense of humor, however warped, is a winner.
I don’t understand. Why is this annoying?
Michael Jackson had the moon walk. Elvis had the hip wiggle. He has this. We men, we all need a trademark.
Please, if you don’t live with the guy I don’t care how long you have known him, noone knows him like his wife and if she says he is annoying she knows what she is talking about! Find a sense of humor folks, she obviously loves that annoying man more than anyone!
P.S He annoys the crap out of me already
Mary: irony detector needs new batteries, I see.
Be that as it may, in that last one, the subway wall is pointing back at _him._
I am totally, totally totally stealing this move. Tell that annoying man of yours I said thanks…that is hilarious!
And thanks for sharing, Collette. : )
