Wife wanted a "stand up" desk ever since she started working from home (didn't have one at her office, btw).  I buy her one and set it all up.  She doesn't sit or stand at it. 

 

She raised her chair up to about barstool height and adjusted the desk accordingly.  So I casually called it a "sit a little higher desk".  not amused.

Bought mine one of those too, since I took the sun room/office since im occasionally on call, and she got stuck in the baby’s room.  She also bought one of those ball chairs for when she does sit which would be “rarely if ever”.  I’ll post a picture tomorrow.

Tall things go on the tall shelf, short things go on the short shelf.

Except not at my place apparently.

I hope the ball chair is as versatile as my wife’s treadmill- it’s able to function as a clothes hanger 50 weeks of the year.

Yup, I got mine with the upgraded package, it holds the clothes baskets on the tread mill as well. Surly 1%!

Ok, to go counter to the spirit of the thread...

We're watching Texas vs Tech basketball and she remembers that Tech played Gonzaga in March Madness 2019. out of nowhere, she asks, "Gonzaga doesn't play football do they?  I've never seen their scores."

 

I damn near got all teary eyed.  So proud.

135 pounds of junk just disappears. 
What did you do with the other ½?

I’m watching basketball in the bedroom when I hear the dog growl and snap, then she shrieks, from the living room.  I do nothing because I know it’s the dog snapping at the cat, which he does about twice a month when he is irritated and the cat walks near him. 
wife comes in about 15 minutes later mad as she can be.

“Aren’t you going to come check on me?!”  

“Why? He snapped at the cat right?”  

“You can’t be sure of that, act like you care about your wife!”

I was in the company of a couple guys and couple gals yesterday. I mentioned to the group the story about the olympic swimmer getting arrested after storming the capitol. One of the girls goes "What? Michael Phelps?"

Setting: Driving somewhere with wife and kids in the car and passing near ABIA.

Wife: I wonder where that plane took off from?

Me: What?

Wife: I was just wondering about that plane.

Me: What plane?

Wife: That one up there. (Points.)

Me: What about it?

Wife: I wonder where it took off from?

Me: Probably the airport.

Wife: (pauses) Oh. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

That looks like a Time Out desk.

It had more stuff on it but she had cleaned up a bit.

Like I said she got the baby’s room as her WFH office so I got her the standing desk and that ball chair.  I also got a new chair for my desk too.  Now my old desk sitting chair is her main chair and I haven’t seen that desk at standing level in months.

My wife is a careless non-optimizing shopper, and it drives my neurotic OCD mad.

I'm the person to obsessively research shit on the web, scout for best price with free shipping.  She's the type of person to buy shit from the big box store based on what's printed on the label.

Say we need a vacuum cleaner - "someone told me Electrolux is good, i will only consider Electrolux.  This model says it has 'TurboBoost' the other one doesn't, so this must be better"

Or if we're in a foreign country buying a 2$ coffee, without hesitation she'll whip out her debit card that charges 10% forex and 3$ of extra fees on top.  Nevermind I have all these cards and apps optimized for this use, that she wont sign up for because "it's too complicated".

 

On the bright side she's not a spendthrift so I guess that's alright.

Has the back of the chair been colored on by a kid or something? It may just be the picture but looks like purple scribble all over the back

She sounds expensive.  I hope you're getting your money's worth elsewhere.

Just moved to a new area, and I've been scouting the local restaurant scene. Was craving Chinese something fierce the other night...

Me: This place looks awesome...it's more traditional Chinese/Taiwanese though -- soup dumplings, noodles, etc. -- less of the Americanized rice dishes you're used to.

Her: Oh...ok, but they have noodles. So like Pad Thai, right?

Let’s all be honest. When a poster says he’s going to be posting a pic related to his wife, we’re not looking for a chair in the resulting pic.

Anyone, ANYONE, who tolerates their wife buying an Electrolux or Kirby vacuum cleaner needs to have their testicles severed and implanted where their brains should have been.

If you care what vacuum cleaner your wife uses, you might as well not have testicles to begin with. At least she's vacuuming. If it takes her twice as long to get the floor clean, that's more time she's not bugging you with useless gossip about her coworkers or family.

The only reason my wife has a Dyson is because I bought a Playstation and my her wife-logic concluded she needed to spend an equal amount on something and that's what she chose. As long as I'm not doing it, I don't care.

Dyson,OK 

Electrolux/Kirby... Fucking rip-off

 

 

 

Team Dyson, but my wife actually got it on one of those 'Deal Days" or whatever( ask 52-80) and got it for 60%off.

I'm not a pig and clean up after myself.  That vacuum cleaner is light as hell and sucks like no other.  Now the wife on the other hand...

My wife gave my boy (5) a haircut today.  He hates it so she told him they would do it on the porch without me helping.  They would cut his long hair off and cut it short and then my daughter and I would be so surprised.  He was down.  I think he was thinking like a 1 or 2 guard like a normal person.

Nope, my wife shaved his head with no guard. Tha fuck.  My man cried and cried and cried. Inconsolable. For like 30mins.  

Well to get him to stop I told her to get him to help her shave my head.   Now there's two bald headed boys running around this house trying to avoid mirrors and make the best of a tough situation

Buddy sent a text today...said his wife decided to shop vac their fireplace and clean up all the ash. When she finished, she turned around and didn’t realize the shop vac lid wasn’t really seated, so the ash was blown around like a volcano all over the inside of the house and covered everything.

Sounds about right.
