woman thinking: I'm so glad I have a good job & can afford to hire someone to dig out my car. I mean, my male counterparts make enough to have a garage, but maybe someday pay will be equal.Quote:

Most mags are men, so the thread is titled as such, but I view it as mags bitching about spouses, which is definitely a source of great comedy. I for one enjoyed your contributions. :)Quote:

We've run into plug's wife a couple times at WA Pass. She was quite pleasant and she has a good reputation in her professional community. I've nothing else to add.
It hasn't. It's only at 14 pages. Maybe you should inquire with your wife on how to count. :fm:Quote:

Remember fellas, there is an Awesome Wife Thread where you can brag about and post rad pictures of your awesome wife.
^^^ much prefered your original "kinda jokey" title.
Having met neither irl, I am prefering Hikes' contributions to Makers', in this thread.
Just sayin'
But, have nothing to add to it...

Wife loses her wedding ring, I get frustrated at her for being careless, she gets mad at me for not being sympathetic about her loss.
Fucking Christ.
She isn't a child that needs to be scolded.
Geez
Right? She's a wife that needs to be beaten.Quote:

Wedding rings. Do you wear one? What a complete waste of money.
That's about right.Quote:

Hey, I'm glad you're doing well and hope you get out for some turns this season.Quote:

Ugh- don't get me started. Over $4,000 in body work and paint repairs so far.
The ride is a bit wider than her last one, but come on.
All I ask is that she parks in the garage the same way every time. Unpossible apparently.
I did back an RV into the house last New Years though- $600 in damage to the RV.
I owned it. Always use a spotter.

I blamed them, they denied it. I was pursuing getting them to pay for damages and called the wife to tell her what happened.
"I might have hit something in the parking garage "
Might have huh...
And use your wife as a spotter only if there is absolutely no one else available.Quote:

my mom has done this multiple times to both sides of my dad's van and her car.Quote:

Trying to explain to my wife that learning how to use mirrors to operate a vehicle is really helpful is like when I tell my dog to stop begging.
The point just isn't getting across
Ha! So many cracks and dings in the front apron and bumper of both the car and truck. Seems she is unable to stop before a concrete abutment or snow bank until she hears the crunch.
But to be fair, I am the one who has put the most expensive damage to our vehicles. But it was in the course of serious bush duty dammit! :D
Just to pile on...

I want her to really think about what she's done.
Garage suggestion. Park the car where it needs to be. Suspend a tennis ball from the ceiling on a string so it touches the windshield right in front of said spouse's steering wheel. Provides a target and a stopping point.
Pro bono advice.
This works amazingly. My wife has the same problem of not being able to put the car in the same garage spot ever. Always too far one side or other. Meh...Quote:
