Happy National Spouses Day to all the married people out there.  But don’t feel too bad, single people.  Spouses are great and all, but also ANNOYING . . .

Someone recently polled 1,000 Americans who are married, and 44% agreed with the statement, “My spouse gets on my NERVES sometimes.”

The most common things that annoy us about our spouse are their selective hearing . . . their snoring . . . and their control freak tendencies.  Here are a few more random stats from the survey . . .
