April 30, 20187 yr a few months ago, I think I posted this on the old board. We recently bought a house and needed a few thing : Wife "Do we have enough money to buy a tooth brush holder? me with a very confused look on my face "A what? Wife "A tooth brush holder?" Me "Like the plastic cup thing that holds tooth bushes in our bathroom. That Costs like $3" Her "yes" me " Please don't ask me every time you want to spend $3. We're not destitute, just buy the damn thing" Couple of days later I notice there is a mason jar there. me "Why is there a mason jar here? I thought you were going to buy a tooth brush holder?" Her "I figured we could save the $3 and use something we already had." That's fine and all, I don't really give a shit where we put them. Fast forward to this morning: Me : " Why is my toothbrush in a Dickey's cup?" Her "I didn't know if we had the budget for a toothbrush holder this month" Me "Really, How much did spend on really bad BBQ???"
April 30, 20187 yr 21 hours ago, EE2B said: My wife was walking our five year old across the street and ran across a dead snake in the driveway. She told me that she had found a snake and I needed to come look. I grab a small shovel and head out to the end of the drive. When I got out there I found a baby snake that was obviously dead. She walks up and I ask her what she wanted me to do. She replied “Kill it.” I said “It’s already dead. “ She looked me dead in the eye and said “Kill it some more.” My neighbor once asked me to kill an obviously already dead snake once so this hits close to home. She also had me come kill a snake that was pretty obvious to me was a long leaf blowing up against the fence. She's a widow so I guess that doesn't belong here...
April 30, 20187 yr So she killed her husband with her repeated outrageous stupidity? She makes it into the hall of fame for this thread.

You will understand the benefits to the above conversation with your wife then.
April 30, 20187 yr My wife and I were both home at lunch which rarely happens. I’m rummaging in the fridge and see two leftover hamburger patties from about 3 days ago, which is about the expiration date for leftovers for everyone at my house but me. Me - hey do you want me to heat you up one of these burgers? Her - no I'll have something else I heat up both burgers because they’re pretty small and throw them on one bun Not 5 minutes later, and as I’m just about halfway through with the burger, I hear her looking in the fridge Her - are you eating both patties? Me - MOTHER fffffffff
May 1, 20187 yr My wife does this, as did my sister (RIP): When we are in separate vehicles, and I’m leading her somewhere, she drives like her engine is in limp mode. I’m constantly having to slow down or even pull over so she doesn’t get caught by traffic lights or lose sight of me. But, if she’s leading me somewhere, she drives like a bat-outta-hell crazy woman. Either way, I think she’s trying to lose me.

May 1, 20187 yr Mine has to host a luncheon and was doing a test run on a recipe - something passed down on a hand written note card so no indications how much one recipe served. She made the test batch and then was going to plate it up to see how many it would serve so she could extrapolate for the party. I come home and there are 16 dirty paper plates in the trash ( I had to count them)- she put a serving on each plate to count it out instead of just spooning a serving on a single plate and then putting that serving into a bowl until she ran out....a bowl I might add that was destined to hold it all in the fridge anyway once she emptied all 16 plates into it after the cooking-calculus was done. I'm just glad I came home after and didn't walk into a kitchen with paper plates spread all over it - probably saved me from *tone after.

May 2, 20187 yr Bought a whole new bedroom set after remodeling our Master. My wife (no pics) is not high-maintenance at all. We’ve been in our place almost 3 years. Got the whole house the way we want it, gradually, within budget and at our leisure. The Master is the last room to see attention, so I am more than amenable to making the bedroom into what she envisioned. Painted the walls a few months back, put in some shelves. One closet got redone last year. Little fixes here and there. This weekend, went and bought new bed. New mattress (fucking awesome mattress). New sheets to match the new colors in the room. New Duvet on order (yes, I am comfortable with my masculinity and still know what a Duvet is). Yesterday. Everything is assembled. Put together. Reconfigurated. Cleaned. Dusted. Just the way we want. Got myself some nice fresh firm pillows to go with my new bed, mattress, sheets, etc. Gonna sleep like a mofo (we all know that mofos are well-known for their sleeping). This morn, I ask, “How did you sleep?” ”Eh...I could use a new pillow. I think mine is wearing out.” What chaps my ass in this? We have thought of nothing for the past four days about bedrooms and bedroom accessories, and she waits until now to remember that she might need a new pillow. So...the sucker that I am. I go to the store today, buy her the pillow she normally likes. As usual, I buy 2 so she has a backup. I get home. I go to put the extra pillow in her closet...and there’s already one there...from the last time I bought 2. Her response, “Well I don’t look up!” Currently trying to figure out who’s the bigger idiot. TL:DR — Just kill yourself now...you can’t win.

She works from home, one of their ankle biter dogs took care of the bird but not after did some damage. It was 50 degrees yesterday too, noticeably cooler.

The time before last I bought new pillows for myself, she said to get her 2. I asked her what kind she wanted, "oh just get me the same kind you get." Got home with the new pillows, and the next morning all I heard was about how horrible the pillows were, too hard etc. etc. why did you get those. Fast forward to last week, I replaced my pillows and again she asked me to get her 2. I just said OK, did my thing and came home. "Where are my pillows? Why didn't you get my pillows?" I simply looked at her and asked, do you remember what happened last time? You need to get your own pillows.....TONE.

May 2, 20187 yr Long day with child, put child down late, dinner discussion for us goes as follows: Wife: Are we eating at home or should i get something? Me: Home is fine, we have all of that BBQ left. Wife: I'm tired and don't want to cook. Me: No need, we have a all of that BBQ left. Her: I don't want any BBQ, I'm going to pick something up. Me: Ok, the BBQ is fine but if you want something else that'll work for me. Her: What do you want me to get. Me: Not picky, whatever sounds good to you. Her: I'm not playing this game, you better pick something. And as we all know, she's never picked any damn restaurant her life.
