My wife was just reading news articles and turned to me and asked "What's wonton endangerment?" After laughing uncontrollably for a couple minutes, I managed a straight face and said "it's these damn tariffs, they're causing a shortage of Chinese food."

My wife was in a panic over this.  

Seems she ordered some dog chew toys from Amazon and then saw the news crawl stating the Amazon was burning and she desperately states she hoped the chew toys shipped out prior to Amazon catching on fire.  

True story.  

I'm gonna guess she was not the only one.  Excellent entry though.

Lady I worked with was the undisputed queen of this. Never less than 15 tabs open at a time. I almost tore my hair out every time I'd have to walk her through something. 

Most women understand computers about as well as I understand women.

i regularly keep like 50 tabs open between chrome and firefox and don't experience these computer slowdowns.  browsers and operating systems automatically unload unused tabs from main memory when the memory gets needed by something.  y'all probably just have slow computers.

I’m guessing you don’t have a Mac, or if you do you don’t run Chrome on it.

wife comes home from party. 

Asks if there is a restaurant or bar or something named Tito's? I met a guy named Tito at the party, talked to him for over an hour.

me: there's a vodka named Tito's.

her: no, not vodka, he owns a distillery or something.

me: a distillery is where they make vodka.

her: oh, that's why all the cups and bottles at the party said Tito's on them, I thought tito's was a restaurant or something

we have a bottle of Tito's in our bar. My wife has poured Tito's into her glass multiple times. Last week when we were in Tahoe I pointed our a Tito's billboard saying it's made in Austin.

Just because you have to listen to her doesn't mean she's going to listen to you.

Oh lord, my kids are moving. They have a lot of stuff. Got a uhaul truck. Told my kid to get the 26ft monster. His wife told him they could save money by getting the 20 ft one. Uhaul charges the same price for both trucks. And now all their stuff aint gonna fit. Massive eye rolling.

Well pump stopped working this afternoon. I spent an hour or so thinking it was the pressure switch. Finally realized it was the capacitor. Got it fixed and told my wife I had to replace it.

Her response: You had to replace the whole capacitor?

Me: I didn’t find any halves so I had to buy the whole.

 

Sometimes I wonder....

Been having issues with mine, I have to give it a good slap to get it to work.   The pressure switch, not the wife.

I tried that and tried filing down the contacts, but that didn’t work. That’s when I realized the capacitor was the issue. I need to get a multimeter for the house.

Yes, my multimeter is always at whichever house I'm not working on.  I think the issue with mine is sediment built up in the nipple.  Probably just replace it since the pressure gauge doesn't work either.  And yeah, Pato, I might try slapping my wife's box tonight.  I'll let you know how that goes. 😁
