30. One third of people in a relationship consider their partner to be the most annoying person they know
Dr. David Geier is an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist in Charleston, South Carolina and Charlotte, North Carolina. He helps athletes and active people feel and perform their best, regardless of age, injuries and medical history. He has been featured in major media publications and shows over 2,500 times throughout his career.
A new survey shows that one third of people in a relationship consider their partner to be the most annoying person they know because of their bad habits. The survey, commissioned by LG Electronics, polled 2000 people in the U.K. Of those who found their partner the most annoying person in their life, they spent an average of almost five hours a day feeling irritated or frustrated with their partners. Their partners had an average of five annoying habits, like messiness, rudeness, flatulence, snoring, using their phone during conversations, and not listening. Still, 41 percent of those annoyed with their partners said they wouldn’t change their partner’s habits, because it’s what makes them ‘them’.
Through the stories of a dozen athletes whose injuries and recovery advanced the field (including Joan Benoit, Michael Jordan, Brandi Chastain, and Tommy John), Dr. Geier explains how sports medicine makes sports safer for the pros, amateurs, student-athletes, and weekend warriors alike.
