Shit, Ice, I'm dying here. I totally forgot about that video.
KQ, lighten up.
My wife was hanging out with some significant others at one of my creampuff races, and one said “Well at least they’re not doing heroin.” My wife got a couple tickets and crunched some car parts. Big Fucking Deal. I don’t go to bars and gripe to the bartender, I’m just venting a bit. I read an article that said happy married men do what their wife wants. I am that man.
Before my buddy got married I was explaining something about being married, and Mrs. Plug or something. He says: “You know what I would do…?” I stopped him quickly right there, and started laughing at him real loud. I said, “Yes please, you try that when you get married, and remember to let me know how that worked out for you.”
Dude so gets it now.
^^ Fuckin awesome
I meant icemans vid
I forgot about that video - hilarious. Nice pull, iceman.
My gf decided to go get her oil changed on her own. Didn't ask where to go, what to get, etc. She went to Valvoline $120 later...Quote:

Bought another one and told her this is the last one I am buying for 10 years, you kill this one and it's not my problem.
Also doesn't mind talking with someone at the front door in the dead of winter with the door wide open, wtf? I wanna get an infrared reader and show her how much cold air drops out of the fridge and comes through the front door. Maybe then the lightbulb will go off. She tries to complain to me if I don't have the basement shut all the way, an inch or 2. She tries to brake my balls that I am letting all the cold air up in to the house.
A friends wife's car won't start in the cold one morning, so she plugs in the block heater... later goes outside to check if the car has warmed up yet by putting her hand on the tires.
My girlfriend is French.
Letting the cold air.... up?Quote:

Truthfully with today's engines and synthetic oil you could easily go 25K without a problem.
Not if it is a turbo engine that you would like to keep the PCV clean. I do mine at 5k intervals with Mobil 1. No PCV issues at 140k. And Iceman, that video so reminded me of my daughters. It must be a younger woman thing.Quote:

I feel the various dishwasher pain that has been shared. Ours isn't spectacular.. you have to actually remove stuck-on sauce and food bits before you load it or they will still be there when it's done.
How many years of 4-5 loads/week should it take to learn that??
How many you got?
5 loads/week X 52 weeks X 15 years = "STOP JUDGING ME!"Quote:

Went through the other version of the story last night when she stacked a piece of wood so it laid flush over the stove's internal air vent. She'd be cute when she gets all huffy if it weren't so mind bendingly frustrating to have that conversation for the eleven hundredth time...
Just to clarify - despite my liberal contribution to this thread, I really do love my wife... this thread only illustrates the point that while you get to pick the challenges, the challenges are a given. I can only imagine my wife's version of this thread and the posts about this asshole who sent us all to live in the middle of the woods... He even expects me to learn to light a goddamned wood stove like it was 1850! It was 53 in the house this morning! And so on... Some days, it's good times had by all, and sometimes by none. Today's a good day so far! Wood stove notwithstanding, I woke up to getting laid and I'm playing golf this afternoon - can't fucking argue with that!
Well, maybe KQ can...
Fire starting problem solved and tested by my wife who also was inept at fire starting. Although you can always go with my buddies neighbors old standby of kerosene. I guess after 40 years of having a wood stove for heat he didn't give a fuck.Quote:

My wife locks her keys in the car a couple times a year, loses her keys all the time (doesn't smoke weed, I put mine in the same damn place every time to avoid losing them) and treats her expensive sunglasses like trash. Also, she complains the weather app on her phone is always wrong. I ask her if she uses NOAA and she asks if they have an app. I ask her if her phone gets the internet.
Maybe if your wife smoked weed she would be able to find her car keys?

Thanks for reminding me that I'm over due to change my oil though.
To add to the thread, I was on a quad chair last weekend and my buddies wife asked why all the chairs coming down were empty. Things you can't make up.
