Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do


Spur08

Recommended Posts

If a woman posts nonstop about how great her guy is, and then damn near a countdown to the wedding day, and then how great her “Hubby” or “hubs” is along with all the god is great stuff...and then 18 months after the wedding is posting memes like I was married but I’m better now and girl power stuff and her status is single, is it wrong for me to find one of those old posts and ask her what happened?

The other day, we were in her car and I noticed my flip flops were in there. Asked her why, she said she used them the other day. That's fine but why didn't you bring them back inside. (Aside form the fact that she had to walk to or from her car without shoes at one point....)
Saturday rolls around and we take her car into the shop the inspection/oil change. They said it was going to be a couple of hours. Told them that I would pay now. and they could just lock the keys in the car and I would pick it up Sunday afternoon.
Sunday morning:
Me (needing to go outside to feed the chickens) : Sure do wish I had my flip flops.
Her : Fine! Do you want me to walk outside and get them for you?
Me : Yes, yes I would.
She walks outside
6 year old: But Dad....
Me : Wait for it......
Her walking back in and slamming the door. Me and boy die laughing : You're such an ass!
All I got out of this is either she has big feet or you have small feet. My wife wears a size 5. I wear a size 15. She's not wearing my flip flops anywhere.

Was your bathrobe in the car too by any chance?

I'm taking the kids out for dinner.  Wife works late as a nurse and gets home as we're getting ready to leave.  We got hit by a bunch of snow yesterday evening, which prompts me to go get the ice scraper out of her van's trunk.  Before I can even get there she says "I don't think it's in there, I think I took it out when I cleaned the car."  For starters, we live in the Midwest, there's no reason an ice scraper shouldn't just stay in the car at all times.  Second, I've never seen her clean out the trunk of the van in her life, she lives to fill it up with crap her mother gifts her on a regular basis.  

Still, I'm pretty certain there's an ice scraper in her car because the last time I cleaned out her trunk I saw it in there, that was another story.  Rather than get the scraper out of my car like she suggested and leaving myself stranded later, I tell her I'm going to look for hers.  I start walking back to the trunk and she beats me there.  I insist she let me dig through the garbage and she get back in the van and stay warm.  She's nearly fallen on her ass once in the snow and ice already, clumsy doesn't begin to describe her.  She doesn't listen.  She opens the trunk and starts rooting around bags of toys she's been stashing back there for the kid's Christmas.  I ask once more to let me look for the scraper as I can already picture it in my mind at the very bottom of the very full trunk.  She's not listening, and she's making it clear she doesn't want my help or she doesn't want me to see what's back there.  About this time as she's been moving boxes and bags out of the trunk she clips her head into the edge of the trunk door.  Wailing ensues with tears, the whole shebang.  I'm trying hard not to laugh as I ask "Are you bleeding?"  She says she can't tell with the snow falling on her head and what not, because cold snow looks and feels the same as warm, red blood.  I eventually convince her to get back in the van and I go ahead and grab my ice scraper because now she's bitching that it's getting late and the kids need to eat.

All through dinner she's complaining about the pain and wonders if she has a concussion.  "Maybe I should stay up all night just in case?"  I had offered to pickup food and bring it back to her so she could take some pain killers and relax.  When we finally get home I help get the kids inside, then head back to the trunk so I can figure out if I need to run to the store for a second ice scraper or not.  Sure enough as expected, at the very bottom of the trunk under the enormous piles of boxes and bags, is the ice scraper.

This is some horrible storytelling.

Sitting around last night catching up on some DVR’d programs and run across CBS’ 60 Minutes and select it to watch. 

Wife: (eye roll and exasperated, dramatic exhale for attention) “How long of a show is 60 Minutes?  30 minutes or an hour long? There is some DWTS DVR’d stuff I want to watch tonight before it’s too late.”

Me:   Whu......?

Legit question when you fast forward commercials. Probably 42 minutes, 36 seconds

Wife noticed this morning that we have forgotten to run the dishwasher two nights in a row.

Me: "Fine, just start it now."

Her: "But we're about to go to work."

Me: "So, the dishwasher doesn't need us here to run."
 

Her: "But what if it leaks?"

Me: "We've run this dishwasher 100 times and it has never leaked.  Why would you assume it's going to leak now?"

Her: "You of all people who is an expert in probability should realize that the past doesn't predict the future!" (Yes, I swear she said that.)

Me: "Why the hell do you do this kind of shit where you conjure up horrible outcomes and use them to base your decision on?" (I actually know the answer to that -- it's because her mother does the exact same thing.)

Her: "Are you telling me that there's no chance the dishwater is going to leak?"

Me: "Well, there's also a chance this refrigerator is going to explode, so I guess we should unplug it every time we leave the house?"

Her: "Now you're just being ridiculous."

 

Why is my wife married to you?

I thought my wife and her mother were the only ones who based decisions on the worst possible scenarios that could occur, no matter how infinitesimal the likelihood.

When I first brought home the InstaPot, this was the conversation:

Her: "That's a pressure cooker?"

Me: "That's one of the functions, so?"

Her: "Well, what if it explodes?"

Me: "Why the fuck would you even think that?  Have you read about a huge epidemic of InstaPots exploding around the world?  Because somehow these have become extremely popular."

She about to mess with some some settings to make it leak, and hold it over you forever.

Why do you think so many women slow down when approaching a green light?

I actually called my wife on doing this one time.

Me: "Why are braking for a green light?"

Her: "Well, I didn't just want to go sailing through the intersection!"

Me: "That's the whole point of the green light!  That green light says that it's your right to go sailing through the intersection because the other people are not allowed to right now!"

I was told a few days ago we need to have the dryer vents professionally cleaned(top floor laundry, laundry is smack dab middle of the upstairs layout)so it has a long way to vent outside up to 3 times a year.


I told her yea ok. She tells me its the number 1 starter in house fires. Well in our last house i/we lived in for almost 9 years had the dryer vents cleaned exactly one time and that was because the inspector for the buyers asked us to do it last year. Yea i should've been better about that, admittedly.



Also the 30 foot fire escape ladder she needed to buy last year is still in its box stored under our bed.

How the hell did you not try to figure out what she was trying to keep you from seeing?  Did you just assume it was all the crap piled in there?

Get her this and tell her to pull her weight around the house.

We absolutely cannot leave the dryer running when we leave because some neighbor of hers when she was a kid had a fire when they did that.

My wife has pulled this before as well.  

I saw over the weekend, in-laws were visiting, where my wife learned to load the dishwasher.  Holy Fuck.

small plates in the top rack.  Glasses in between the prongs, so they just slide around.

It's just a shit load of toys.  I got after her last year because she spent way too much on the kids.  She promised me this year she would pull back, but she obviously hasn't.  There was so much crap last year she was storing toys in her sister's garage.

Next time this issue comes up, you should mention the bolded part to her. She will immediately realize the error of her ways and apologize to you immediately.

I have done that.  I did that in the InstaPot argument.  Yeah, she loves that.

 

Also, dishwasher didn't leak today!  Huzzah!

So, she didn't want you to see her spending? Time to set up mint and know the spending as it happens.  https://www.mint.com

My response to this is how about we just both clean up our own messes.

Pro tip - they are never my messes.

This is exactly right.  Our kitchen island is a dumping ground for drink cups, mail, medicine, whatever.  We are cleaning up for folks coming over, my wife says "get your stuff off the island!".  Easy.  done.  Not one piece of this stuff derived from me.

Her, last night:  you need to help clean up around the house more

Goddamn, this pissed me off.  Although even though I was just an asshole when (after the 4th or 5th time) I replied with, "Sure, and I'd like you to start paying more of the bills around here too.", the griping about cleaning stopped.
