Grasshopper just says whatever pops into his head, which oftentimes is downright rude.
Grasshopper is petty. If I have something special, that I specifically ask him not to touch or use, he will. My sister bought me a very expensive chaise for my birthday, and he always plops his behind down on it and puts his feet up. He says, "Get over it; it's not that big a deal." Well, it is to me.
Grasshopper can take a shower and still stink.
Grasshopper has so much potential, but it is unused because he is l-a-z-y.
Grasshopper does not accept responsibility for his actions. He doesn't accept responsibility, period. He wants to just hang out with his [unmarried] friends and do his "action nerd" thing.
He tells me to open up and share with him, but when I do, he brushes me off.
He tells me I am too proud, and that I need to learn to ask and accept for help. When I do, he is always reluctant to lend me a hand. For instance, I asked him to pick me up some goggles for lab tomorrow on his way home, since he will be going right past Home Depot. He sighed and said, "What?" as if he didn't hear me. Usually I say "forget it" but this time I repeated myself. He actually said to me, "But why are you asking *me*?"
I said, "Because you're my husband, and you are going right by there anyhow?"
He sighed again. "Why can't you just do it?"
I said, "Because I have all those other things to do that we just talked about, plus I have the kids."
"Well, I have a lot of things to do, too!"
I pointed out that this was par for the course with him anytime I [rarely] ask for a favor, and he sneered, "Oh, puleeeeze." I said something stupid back, like "puleeeeze yourself" and hung up.
