I love my wife and all, but Jesus Hercules Christ...

[stfu&gbtw]

You don't just quietly slide the burgers further back on the counter when she leaves the room?

I don't, in hope that someday someone might learn....



I italicized someone, because I'm not sure if I'm waiting on the wife to learn not to do that, or for me to learn to just quietly intervene.

That's a tough one. Part of you wants to leave them there so she learns her lesson... but another part of you knows she's probably never going to learn that lesson so you might as well move them.

Beat you by a full minute. Paypal me a dollar.

As TahoeJ said, ya, that can be a tough one. It boils down to picking, for lack of a better word, battles. I'm 17.5 years (of marriage, 20 years total) in and some things I have learned to just deal with. So has she. And other times we both lose our shit. It's all part of the deal. Regarding the thread subject, I think we both do enough stupid shit for it to be a wash. You can pry my man card out of my cold dead hands.

Like a buddy of mine alway says...

She just doesn't get it... And she never will

[Flyoverland Captive]

...realize she was making things much more difficult than they needed to be

That about sums up women.

[Sparky]

Just smile and nod,

[Diamond Joe]

so, I guess its ALL women who refuse to put their keys in the same fucking place so theyre easy to find?
and, pretty much all women who think that they can put whatever they feel like down whatever drain they feel like using? (dishwasher, sink, shower)

How about this one: getting a non four wheel drive car unstuck if it gets stuck in snow. Man solution: get in the car, put in drive, gently accelerate, when any forward momentum stops, and the car starts to rock backwards, shift car into reverse and slightly goose it, repeating procedure until car becomes unstuck. Woman solution: put car into gear, GUN it. when that doesnt work, gun it HARDER!

Meh. I've seen guys do this too. Including one guy who had put the chains on the back wheels of his front wheel drive car.

I was skiing with blown out back and came across guy stuck in lot. The dude had no clue how to help the situation and I walked away crippled

Lots of people can't drive in snow.

Only a wife could drive 150 miles on the highway in 4WD on dry pavement when the last thing I said as she left was "Please please please do NOT forget to put it in 2WD when you get to the top of the driveway."

Yes, but he was Chinese.

5 years ago I probably would have told her to smarten up and MOVE THE FUCKING BURGERS!

But we all know where that gets me.... The couch

Fuck that. If she's mad, she can sleep on the fucking couch.

I just don't get the difficulty in grasping this concept. How many times do you have to lose your mind because you're running late and can't find your keys before you figure it out? I used to completely lose my shit...to the point of flirting with emotional abuse.... when it happened. Now I just leave her to it.

[stompinlines]

Ice, ive always wondered to what extent that would fuck up the 4wd.
Care to share?

Binds and stresses the drivetrain.; poor handling and tires take a beating. 150 miles of curvy roads might do some damage.

[abraham]

One of my uncle's girlfriends welded her car into not working. Left the parking brake on while driving around, eventually it failed. He said they had a flat bed to tow the car

Yeah it's just a lot of stress and wear that it doesn't need basically. Hastens its demise, one might say.

[stompinlines]

So, its similar to being married..
Got it.

There, fixed so that it's a little more like what I live with.

[spook]

Great thread and definitely an HOF contender.

I'm going to refrain from any of my gripes at the moment, but I will add this...

The thread title got me thinking, "what does the H mean?" A little searching led to...

homo, duh

Why does this thread make me think of this song?

[spook]

is that the sad one about all the homeless animals?

[TahoeJ]

Got it.

And yet strangely the opposite is true, despite all of our bitching.

[bad dancer]

So I'm sitting her right now with Mrs Bad dancer and she just said to me................
"So you know where I've been putting the oil in the car this whole time ?"
Me.....With blank stupified, almost scared look, I respond with, " No... But I am afraid to ask"
"I was putting it into the hole where the dipstick comes out. My brother in law saw me do this showed me where to put it in. Its on top where it says, put oil in here"
Her comment was " well the funnel fit well in the hole"
