Knox's story is a strong honorable mention all conference. The thought of her loading that beast into the car in the heat and defending it by saying a 6 yr old will play with it enough to improve his core strength ... too great

Rents a movie from DirecTV for $5.99 instead of just watching it on Netflix for free. 

Records shows on the DVR for watching at a later date (sometimes months later).  They show up on On Demand the very next day.

Like clockwork man.  Like clockwork.  She always comes home with a bunch of stuff, starting the conversation with, "I saved....".  Last week she came home with this because it was on sale.  I said that'd be great if our boys were 3 years old; they're 6 and 11.  Her counter was that the 6 year-old needed core exercise.  I told her crunches were free.  Tone.

You need to follow up on this story. Has the 11 yr old used it yet?

I think she is trying to tell you she wants more kids.

No that's WAY too direct.

A wife's hints for more kids are much more subtle(read insane).

You should've been there for the part where she told me it wasn't $50 a pound, that it was closer to $33 :/

No, she definitely doesn't want another child.  Our 6 year-old is that kid.  You know.  The one that gets a note home from the teacher EVERY, SINGLE day of the school year.  So no.  No more kids.

The teeter-totter thing is sitting in the 2nd living room right next to the antique light fixture she purchased 6 months ago.  That would be the one that's to go in the dining room; however, 3 of the 6 light casings are missing.

On a related note, she went to IKEA Saturday.  I asked her to buy me a small shelf to put the Echo Dot on in the bathroom so it and the cord are out of the way.  She came home with a 36X24 in mirror that has a small glass shelf attached to the bottom.  "It was cheaper to buy it that way," she said.  All I wanted was a small shelf, to put on the wall, to hold something the size of an Echo.  Now I've got a 24-inch glass shelf and a giant, unneeded mirror.

uh...... that is ENTIRELY your fault.  If you wanted a small shelf, you should have gone to Ikea and bought one yourself.... or, crazy idea, checked craigslist for a shelf that would work and get it yourself.

 

telling your wife to buy what seems like a basic request at Ikea is just a disaster waiting to happen.  hell, even if you told her something specific, like, Hey I need a desklamp that is no taller than 15 inches and wider than 8 inches..... she would probably buy the lamp..... AND a shelf to put that lamp on as well because "it needs to go somewhere when you arent using it on the desk"

 

cant blame the wife for this one bud, its all you.

Hell, my next pool in my next house is going to be tricked out with all of the automatic controllers. I hate fucking with those valves myself, much less trying to tell my wife how to do it. 

Someone could make an absolute mint if they developed a machine that would automatically add chemicals to your pool.  It's a huge pain in the ass.  Right now I'm too cheap to hire a pool guy, but I'm quickly getting over it.

Not even on the same level as the Real Housewives.  That shit never ends.

We just had the Salvation Army out to take as much crap from the garage as possible.  Wife went to all the trouble of sorting things and putting price tags on things and even got a permit for a garage sale.  It rained that weekend and we never got motivated to attempt it again. 

I feel like Pampered Chef invents kitchen tools for problems that doesn't exist, just so they can sell you the tool - like do you really need a special knife to cut an avocado, or clean the seeds out of a bell pepper? She'd go her friends parties and order all this crap. I finally got her to agree to sort through the kitchen drawers and cabinets and get rid of the stuff we don't use. Several hundred dollars worth of Pampered Chef stuff ended up on the counter.

I'm a dude, and once bought a cheese knife for $20.  It doesn't work any better than a regular knife.

your wife on some other site on a thread called husbands and the stupid shit they do: "why do they need sockets, and pass thru sockets? it's like they're just making this shit up to sell them more stuff."

Except I actually use my sockets... there was Pampered Chef shit in the drawer that we had owned for years and Never used.

i've owned a set of pass thrus for over 5 years and i still haven't used them. thank you harbor freight for making shit tools at incredibly cheap prices.

I mentioned to my wife that he's in that Showtime series The Affair and now she's binge watching it because Pacey.
So - my wife has finally caught up on The Affair and admitted she's watching it mainly because of "Pacey".

Then I got this nugget:

Wife: He's so 'Pacey' in this. I don't know what it is, but he doesn't just walk - he SAUNTERS.

So I do almost all of the cooking at the house.  But the wife can't turn down an invite to a Pampered Chef party.  We have all manner of crap that we don't need.  Nylon knives, chopper thing, something to breakup ground beef and sausage when browning.  The best was when she brought home an egg separator thing and explained how helpful it will be.  Of course, there was already two of those things in the kitchen utensil drawer that was never used.

Got one of those avocado slicers as a Christmas gift from my MIL.

Had to do that once in pearland. They gave us 2 approved signs to put up, that had the approved dates on them. 

And the city damn sure had people out looking for unapproved signs to bust non permitted garage sales. 

Garage sale permit?

They do this so they have an excuse to ticket the assholes who run a weekly flea market out of their house.

My wife just labeled all of the light switches. We’ve lived here since 2006.

At least she took the time to ensure the labels were placed properly and perfectly level

LULZ we built our house and I specifically asked her how we wanted the light switches and she said to put all the fans on the far left and I did.  We been in this house since 2014 and when I ask her to turn on the fan never picks the correct switch.

But did you build it on rock ‘n roll?


She just got a label maker huh?


No, we’ve had it a long time.
