We all get it. Being part of a happy couple is what most people strive for. Bingeing on Netflix, eating out, housework, and sex; it’s all a little (or a lot) better when you don’t have to do it alone. What we don’t understand is the way some couples behave. Because sometimes it’s just a little too much .
Annoying habits of couples
What some couples do in public cannot actually stand the light of day. “Find a room,” we think. It is not appropriate. It’s not cute. And it’s not “normal” either. It’s annoying. These are 18 annoying habits of couples that singles and other couples hate.
1. Tongues in public
Walking hand in hand, a kiss on the cheek and snuggling up to each other; no one has a problem with that. But visibly exchanging saliva really goes too far.
2. Coordinate their outfits together
Don’t be the ANWB couple. Wearing the same wind jacket and maybe even these zip-up pants might be fun for cycling on the Veluwe, but keep it at that. There is even an Instagram page with examples of this strange habit among couples.
3. Just sitting on the phone
Couples who could have so much fun if they would just give each other some attention. We all know them: those couples in a restaurant who are enchanted by their phones and don’t pay each other any attention at all.

10. Leave early
“A nice night out,” you thought. But the plans don’t go quite as you had hoped. Because this part of a couple you agreed to meet watches the clock all the time. Something seems to be going on… and suddenly they announce, “Hey, I have to leave now. Have fun!”
4. Asking each other’s permission before doing something simple
Asking each other for “permission” when you want to travel with friends is not that strange. But every time you want to do something? That is really an annoying habit that irritates others.
5. Just hanging out together
Suddenly no one is interesting enough to have a conversation with. The only conversation is between the two of them; everyone has been relegated to a lower priority.
6. Using too much ‘we’ instead of ‘I’
Sometimes it seems like people give up their identity for the relationship. They no longer talk about ‘I’, but always about ‘we’. And that is especially an annoying habit if you do it when your partner is not around.

7. Openly flirting with each other on social media
A heart here, a kiss there; wow, you are totally in love. But does the rest of the social world have to be confronted with that 10 times a day?
8. Comparing themselves to famous couples
“We’re like Bonnie and Clyde,” yeah right . Couples who compare themselves as a couple with famous couples? And continue to use that as a nickname ? Most people find that an unpleasant habit.
9. Always direct the conversation so that it is about them
There are those couples who are so happy with their relationship that they want to tell everyone their ‘story’. Even if you’ve heard it dozens of times. The “how we met” story is their favorite story to retell.
10. Only use pet names
Because pet names for men and women are popular, some couples only call each other by that name. Even to others. ‘Binkie’, ‘Hulk’ and ‘Tarzan’ become synonymous with the name of the real person.
