She promptly drove over the concrete parking block in front of our parking space.... Did you leave a key word out of that? Like maybe "... is still better than you completely sober"?
May 3, 20223 yr Late to the party, but I'm just gonna say that I wear shorts and flip flops in weather that's way colder than 63. Toughen up ojo rojo

She went to a dealer; saw a small piece she liked, and was told it cost about 150.00 in local currency. She said, “I’ll take it.” Dealer: Where are you from? You have an accent. W: “The United States.” Dealer: Oh, you really want to buy? I am just tired of artists coming in here and trying to unload their art to me for commission, so I always lowball. The real price is 600 dollars. W: Let me think about it. That’s a lot more than you quoted. Dl: I have a certificate that shows the value. And I’ll take 300.00 instead of 600.00 W: Deal Must be the first person in his life that fell for the “negotiate upward” trick. Gotdammit. The dealer was Armenian, where we lived. So bonding over their shared love of Armenia played a role in his willingness to let this thing go for only twice his original quote. Grrrrr. She could’ve had it for $75.

May 8, 20223 yr Son's confirmation is coming up. Couple months back wife asks if we can join the family of his best buddy (who live in the same city as us) in a celebratory dinner at Benihanas (picked by mother of his best friend) after the event. "I guess, whatever." Generally, the events I've agreed to for the wife don't start become real in my head until the event nears. Confirmation is this Wednesday, so I ask, "where is there a Benihanas near here anyway". "Oh, it's in Irvine" Thirty fucking miles away. To go to Benihanas.

I mean you actually wrote "Benihanas" three times unironically. You seem lost. Edited May 8, 20223 yr by ztejas

I don’t really pay attention to whatever plans my wife makes until they’re upon us. And Benihana is ass, my dude. That you never should have agreed to.
May 8, 20223 yr Nothing says let’s celebrate your adult choice to join the (whatever) Christian church like a restaurant that serves food from a place that is 1% Christian.

Or, there are at least 3-4 similar style restaurants (Japanese table side cooking) much closer.

May 9, 20223 yr I am 100% food/restaurant snob but I love Benihana. There I said it. Also there is one 3 miles from my house
May 10, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, Sam Lin said: Yeah, but how do you feel about Benihanas? He probably loves all of them. I’ve never been to one. But I love a good hibachi steakhouse. My favorite is a place called Fujiyama. I haven’t been there since before the quarantine. I’ve been experimenting with trying to imitate it at home.

May 17, 20223 yr It's a tale as old as time. Wife is backing out of the garage and scrapes the shark fin antenna thing off of her Q5, taking out the bottom garage door panel in the process. She claims that her phone fell onto the garaged door opener fob in the console, bringing it down unexpectedly. I'm skeptical as this is strike two after backing out with the tail gate up. That caused more damage to the tail gate than the garage door though.

Garage is off limits unless a male is behind the wheel.

May 21, 20223 yr My wife drove us home from our daughter's recital today. I feel the need to apologize to everyone who has ever driven near her. 5 times I had to let her know the light was green. 2x I had to tell her to stop to avoid rear-ending the car in front of us.

May 22, 20223 yr Apparently we use way more forks than knives or spoons. We had 3 Sams sized boxes of asst cutlery in the cabinet and zero forks. While at Sams, wife tried to grab yet another box of assorted. I put it back on the shelf and grabbed the forks only box. It’s the small victories.

Mine rides in the blind spot, for fucking ever. I tell her go on and pass. She says she’s afraid they’ll change lanes. I say so go on and just ride behind them but get out of the fucking blind spot. Dammit!! Tone.
May 22, 20223 yr Popular Post Pretty sure it's been mentioned by others, but how do wives seem to have some sort of radar sense that requires them to reach down into a purse or whatever bag is at her feet blocking the line of sight into the passenger mirror at the absolute worst time.

She has been organizing shit that didn't need to be organized today and ignoring the shit that needs to be organized. So I found a baseball backpack with all of the gloves tossed out of it on the bedroom floor. Thanks honey. It was really causing a problem on my side of the closet.
May 24, 20223 yr Went on a road trip with the wife for our anniversary this past weekend. She doesn't seem to know left from right, can't look up anything on google maps, can't judge distance. It was all I could do to keep from blowing up at her. I did get laid a couple of times, so I guess it was worth it.

June 2, 20223 yr We have a dishwasher that works perfectly fine. Cleans everything the first time. Nothing wrong with it, wife has never complained. About once a week, usually right after she gets done cooking or prepping something, she decides rather than to use it, she'll wash the dishes by hand in the sink. Then she expects me to help dry. I respond with "why not just use the dishwasher?". But she wants it done NOW, not in an hour. So either I dry the dishes that could just be machine washed and dried, or I get to be the asshole.

I'm just annoyed that she's going out of her way to prevent me from using a more efficient, less labor intensive means of cleaning, and then expecting me to participate in it. I'm down to clean, but why do we have to do it by hand to get it done quicker when we have a machine that does it?

Tell her you refuse to participate in an antiquated system that rapes our environment, when you already own the superior system that will save water.
