Who writes $10,000 checks? That’s $200-500 worth of points.

I recently have. I had my truck engine rebuilt and I paid with venmo so he didn’t have to pay a cc fee. And I am getting a pool renovated and I paid with check so he didn’t have to pay a cc fee. So those types of situations where I’m trying to save an individual that fee, or if they are going to pass that fee onto my bill.

Zelle or cash money is the way, Venmo and Cashapp will generate 1099s.

The only check I write is to my boat storage warehouse landlord.

To Mrs CL's credit, that's the cash price and the furniture store charges an extra 3% for credit cards. At least she was trying to think through it a little bit.

Wife: Look at so-and-so

Me: where?

Wife: He's standing at the 51 yard line

I was speechless for one of the few times that she has uttered something deserving of this thread. I was mainly making sure nobody else heard her.

A little background- we've  been together 30 years. I have watched, attended, and coached in countless thousands of football games that entire time. We have 2 sons that have played a combined 26 seasons of football games, of which she has missed maybe 5 games in that entire time. I have watched Canadian football from time to time but she hasn't 

Wife:  "You know how you said all of those mean and nasty things to me when you were angry?  Well, I think that's who you REALLY are and I believe you meant what you said!"

Also Wife:  "You know all of those sweet and kind thing you said to me?  Well, I don't believe you meant any of them!"

You have to make up quotes from people she normally would believe. For instance if she believes in the healing powers of crystals then quote Gwyneth Paltrow, if she's a basic white lady quote Taylor Swift or Beyonce.

Holy hell, I was coming to post almost the exact same thing from the local HS game last week. It was the mom of one of the drill team girls letting hubby know their sweet Kayleigh was at the 52 yard line.

This is trivial but just drives me crazy.  She walks in the door after running some errands and goes “who wants to put gas in my car?”.

Occupants in the house consist of a 10 year old, 7 year old, a year old dog and her and me.

 

just fucking ask me, or better yet, fill up your car while you’re out.

Call me old-fashioned, but I see to it that the GF rarely, if ever, has to pump gas.  If we are driving together in her car, I will always top it off if it's below 1/2.  If I haven't driven it in a few days, I check the level and if it's south of 1/2, I run it to the station.   It's a little thing that I know she appreciates, because I've heard her tell her sister that she cannot remember the last time she got gas on her own.

I did this with my ex as well. She’s still my ex though.

Need to respond with, who wants to give me a blow job?

Some potatoes get boiled in a lidded pot.  The lid thus only has water vapor/condensation on it.

Can the lid be put back into storage after a rinse and wipe, or does it need to be run through the dishwasher?

With interest rates where they are, I've started keeping a very low balance in the checking account and trying to park as much money as I can in our various money market and savings accounts. Since I pay the bills, I know when a large withdrawal is coming and I make sure there is sufficient money in the account.

Savings accounts here offer 4% interest with the *only* condition being 12 yearly withdrawal limits.  Literally takes 3 clicks on the banking app to open and transfer, no signing forms, no going to the branches, no autodeposit requirements, no exclusivity requirements, no minimum-holding period requirements, literally no hassles or downsides. 

Yet wife still keeps a significant sum in her checking account.

It's not that she's careless or a spendthrift. It's simply that finances is one of those topics, like imperial warfare history, that is simply unbreachable in her conscience.  Don't talk about it, don't think about it, don't suggest it.  She has a bank card, money goes in, money goes out, it works satisfactorily for her.  Monthly fees, forex fees, cashbacks and perks...might as well be swahili to her.  Not interested at the least.

Mine is the opposite… she’s so obsessed with moving funds from checking into our HYSA that we’re constantly playing a dance with automated withdrawals. Actually had us overdraw for the first time in many years just recently and I blew my top.

Whenever we go anywhere in my wife's SUV, we have drama over locking the doors when we get out.

It's a newer vehicle, so no key - just the proximity keyfob.  Which she keeps in her purse at all times.  Even when I'm driving.  So, I drive.  We get to our destination and get out - I get out on the driver's side, she gets out on the passenger side (and of course, I have to wait while she gets out, because for some reason, she has to get all her stuff together because she was totally caught off guard by the fact that we were actually heading to a destination).  I cannot lock the doors, because I don't have the fob.  I can't press the button (obviously).  But you can also just press the little button on the door handle to lock the doors....if you have the fob on you, right next to the door.  Which I do not.  So, we get out, and I ask her to lock the doors, and she gets exasperated with me EVERY SINGLE TIME.  Often "you can just press the button on the door, you know."  No, I can't.  Because you got out and immediately walked away from the car.

But if I ask her to give me her keys before we leave the house, she gets annoyed because she has to dig them out of her purse (which has 479 "secret compartment pockets," and the key is in the 234th one).

So, bottom line, whenever I drive her car anywhere, she's going to be annoyed with me not being able to lock the door even though she is solely responsible for the fact that I am unable to lock the door.

Rinse and put away. Pot should be similar or hand wash at most, no reason for any of that to go through a dishwasher.

Extra fob is like $250.  F that.  For $250, she can glare at me all she wants.  I'm cheap.

Wait, if you, an internet friend who is dumb, agrees with his wife... you've done it, you divided by zero!

Yep. That is on brisket. When I drive our Tahoe that has the keyless BS, I just use the spare and avoid the arguments. Don’t even know where the real key is at. Somewhere buried in her purse
