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

Also regarding those portable power banks for jump starting...how do those hold up when stored in cars? Temperature extremes sap battery life, just wonder if it'd be useless after sitting in the cold or heat.

I have a big portable jumper, but I keep it in my garage for that reason. Which doesn't do me any good if my battery dies away from the house.

I have one and it was stored in my car and worked fine (SWMT). I recently realized I lost the charger somewhere in my cold ass garage. I haven't bought a new one because I'm lazy and my car starts just fine. The other day it didn't (the seat belt kept a door from shutting) after probably 9 months since I last charged it it jumped my car no problem.

You're prolly gonna need some big powerfull jump starter for your relationship soon.

Most have cigarette lighter chargers, just leave plugged in if you have one in your trunk

Re: the chock bolted to the garage floor idea, that's great and all, but I don't want a giant fucking chock that spans the full fucking width of the garage (serving as a huge obstruction/tripping hazard) since the wife cannot figure out how to line up the car horizontally.

Actually had to threaten to revoke garage privileges to her at one point. Sounds super dickish, sorry, but I got tired of her literally running the car into the cabinets on the side of the garage (ripped the doors off the cabinets once or twice), or whipping her car doors open into my car parked next to it and dinging the shit out of my doors. Told her I'd move her car back outside each time I found it in the garage, or park my car in the center of the garage, or put the 3rd beater car in the garage instead. We lived in MT at the time, and the thought of scraping windshields on a cold car every winter morning was enough of a deterrent.

Frustrated it had to get to that point, but she got a lot better and paid a lot more attention after that.

My wife used to constantly slide the side of the SUV against the garage trim. There was an ugly brown streak running along the passenger side I was always buffing out. After she broke the mirror, she finally gave up and demanded we get a smaller vehicle.

My wife likes to rearrange the dishes in the kitchen to make things more efficient.

Im a pretty big stoner and can never find a plate.

I don't know which would be more annoying, that she kept hitting cabinets/dinging doors, or that the whole time she was capable of not doing that but just didn't care.

Better than asking you to build a bigger garage.

I think I've addressed every gripe in my wife's current playbook. She was complaining about some random shit the other day and was totally at a loss for how to blame me for it. She sort of ran out of steam after a few minutes, so I asked her what she was figuring to do about it... She was completely speechless. She's been pretty easy to be around since then, but maybe I'm missing some kind of silent treatment game. Not sure if she's working on a new repertoire or divorce papers... But for the moment, I have achieved marital enlightenment. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

You are so fucked.

Right? She's working up a new routine and I bet it's gonna be a doozy.

They are so good at this. I can't wait.

^^^ Don’t let her join a book club, that’s where they develop and exchange fresh techniques.

Trying to live in the moment here. I'm married and in good health... I'm fucked, and likely for quite a while yet.

Locally the book clubber gals seem to be going on trips to Newyork & portugal or the like and the real point of it all seems to go on a better trip than that other book club

[MakersTeleMark]

Around here the book clubs are just excuses to bitch and chug wine.

I assumed scissor-rubs and oiled-up pillow fight were part of the program; then I got a good look at the roster. Ew...
