There are lots of neat and tidy men who refute this allegation and there are a lot of messy ladies who unashamedly embrace mess.
Turns out, there are loads of little things that bug us about our other halves - have a read below to enjoy other people's dirty laundry being aired.
(And also, take a moment to read the very last text which may just make you happy that you have little annoyances to put up with.)
