My ex-boyfriend always made a really annoying slapping noise whenever he ate.It bothered me but I never tried to get him to stop.Another really stupid thing that I was more vocal about was if he messed up the order of my DVDs, which happened quite often.It bugs me when anyone does it, though.
Something that I did that I know bothered him was my procrastination.No matter what I have to do, I always hold it off until the last minute.

That’s not just your wife, that’s most woman in general. As a person though, that’s my pet peeve. My mom and sisters do that, and it drives me insane.

To clear something up -- she usually just allows herself to get sucked into a conversation, rather than start one. She also can't seem to issue those verbal and visual clues to someone that tell them the conversation needs to end. Or when it comes down to it, just interrupt and say you have to leave. So I end up dragging her off by the arm.

My dad does that, though he's perfectly capable of interrupting to say he has to leave. It's just that after he does that, he proceeds to continue the conversation rather than walk away.

Ha Ha. She does that too.
Anyway, I guess it's not that big of annoyance. It could be a lot worse.
