What have you done recently to lovingly annoy your spouse/significant other? For example, this morning I brought my wife her toast singing the first line from "Baby One More Time" in Brittany voice...
I've said, "Oh, fuck you! Grow up!" and similar to friends. But it's best immediately after sneeze one, and you should sound properly offended at the temerity.
Not recently, but this is one I'm particularly proud of. She texted me to complain that she was music-less in the office because her MP3 player failed.
Well of course I phoned and was able to sing one line about never giving her up before she hung up the call.
Sometimes when she tells me she’s going to do… anything, really, I just say something along the lines of “no”, “out of the question” or “you’re not allowed to do that”. Almost 15 years later, it didn’t get old - for me! - yet. As for her, I think at this point she just tuned out these things hahaha
When she'd say "I guess" I'd pretend to have heard "heck yes" and get excited. Then I started with my kids. Now my daughter does it to her own friends and I've never been more proud
Texted my wife to tell her I was heading to a mate's place for "a dip in the pool and some pizza", then followed up with a texted stream of consciousness, one line at a time, about how I was planning to eat the pizza - not dip in it, then pondering what dip on pizza would be like, followed be weighing up the pros and cons of about 4 or 5 different dips on pizza, and the different pizzas they might work on.
It took about 7 or 8 messages before I got her eyeroll response. Worth it.
For Christmas my partner wanted me to write down my vows to them. So I bought some quality paper, and made a fancy card. On the front I wrote "I vow to..." then on opening it there was a big picture of Rick Astley and lots of lines scattered about such as "🎵 never gonna give you up..🎵" etc. etc
On the facing page I did write something serious and heartfelt, but the rick rolling was necessary.
Whenever I let out a big fart close to her I say her name out loud in a surprised tone accompanied by “that’s absolutely disgusting!” and she eye rolls immediately lol
Intentionally using the wrong ligger/lægger (lie/put down, in danish) in a text to my SO. She lovingly annoyed me back by intentionally not noticing it.
Inappropriate nicknames. Wait for her to do something slightly embarrassing, make a nickname out of it, then strategically use it in awkward situations.
My current frontrunners are "Whisp-a-doody", "FUPA-diaper", and "Dumptruck full o' dead cows".
That last one isn't anything she did, but something we both witnessed that really upset her.
Mine is finding a picture of an animal with its rear end towards the camera, and then saying "hey, guess what?" to her and when she says "what?" I show her the picture and say "Bunny* butt!"
She hates the USA southern accent. While I grew up in a midwestern family, we spent some years in Tennessee when I was a kid. I pulled a hard southern accent on her yesterday. For like twenty seconds.
