I’m no STEM guy, but this is a new physics term. Did Sir Mix-A-Lot sing about it?

Ass can neither be created nor destroyed. The total count of ass is a universal constant, like Avocado’s number.

As this is in the wives thread, I'm sure this can be readily disproved.  Without boring you with the science of it, a wife's posterior generally grows in proportion to the number of years married.  

Wife said we couldnt weigh our toddler for tracking because hes wearing diaper so its not comparable.  I said I know how much the diaper weighs (25g)

“okay but its full of pee right now so its even heavier”
”…and if 5 minutes ago the pee was in his bladder instead of the diaper the measurement would be different?”
“its a diaper so when the pee soaks it gets even heavier almost like gelatin”
so i pulled out a measuring cup, kitchen scale, and wasted a spare diaper proving to her the principle of Conservation of Ass. and it was worth it because it yielded a “i guess you were right”. 

You know, if you just let them be blissful you’ll have a shot at more pussy. But hey, you got what you wanted I guess.

This is mostly correct. Ass can and will definitely be created. But unfortunately it can only be destroyed by young trainers on wives about to split. Offen bolt ons are a precursor to destroyed ass.

I definitely destroyed some ass in my younger years.

But those stories are not for the wives thread.

I’m in the middle of cleaning up after cooking something and she comments on how much of a mess the countertop is. Maybe hold off on the critique until after I finish the job.

Some people clean while they cook.  Not this guy.

SUPER fun one today…

First, some background: we’re in the middle of multiple yard projects right now, so the entire backyard is a mess. All of our furniture is under tarps, which did OK against the rain but not against the yard crew this week. Everything looks like this:

5c8e34d3a55ec6166ecc3cd4a4d57ed9.jpg


Despite insisting multiple times that it would not be prudent to clean up the back yard for the party we’re hosting tomorrow, the wife insisted that because it was a nice day, it was now a requirement.

The yard is a straight up mud pit at the moment, and if anyone steps foot back there the house will be a disaster. After arguing all day and stalling on cleaning our patio furniture (which must not be touched with the power washer [emoji50]‍[emoji100]) I negotiated down to 2 pieces of furniture and cleaning off the deck.

It took 2.5 hours and I’ll be shocked if anyone steps foot outside tomorrow.

Wife shows me some new sleep aid device (speaker that plays soothing music) she got off the internet. Me playing with the speaker - volume goes from mute to Megadeth concert in about 5 clicks.

Me: The volume control on this thing isn't very sensitive.

Her: Yeah, you said that it was too loud earlier.

Me: I could hear it through my earphones, so yeah, it was pretty loud.

Her: Well then don't use it.

Me: I didn't say I wouldn't use it, just said it was either too quiet or too loud.

Her: Fine, well don't use it.

 

This woman takes everything I say as a criticism. Feel like I'm fucking tiptoeing around the house because she'll misconstrue an innocent comment and start an argument.

I almost slept in the guest room last night because I told her to turn on the vent above the stove. 

I guess not stupid but my wife is usually pretty far on the prom-and-proper side. We just moved and out 15 year old was looking through our previous houses on HAR. He talked some shit about our first house, a 1,200 square foot bungalow in the Houston Heights (shoulda held on to that one). Wife told him not to talk bad about it as he was conceived there. Teenager was not impressed even though that’s what got him here I’m the first place.

Flipping through the guide yesterday, and a movie catches my eye. Wife immediate senses this and retorts: "My little butter can suck it, hard."

She got the shoulder-shoulder, hip-hip, coughing hip thrust, with a look of:

Eh, those two are easily misheard over a crappy phone, I'll allow it.

Wife and I met with a CFP last weekend, and she's finally digging into her various retirement accounts accumulated over the years. I have a pretty good idea of her roll-overs and current 401(k), but I can't help statements like this:

"Oh... I guess my company opened up a Merrill Lynch account for me when they gave me stock..."

"How much is it worth?"

"$35K"

"Whoohoo! But you seriously didn't know about it?"

"I know they gave me stock, just didn't know where it was..." 

 

Previously her bonuses were all cash. But the company was bought out last year, and she "thought" they said the bonuses would now be split 50% cash / 50% stock. What actually happened was they gave her the same cash bonus as last year and just gave her the equivalent in stock.

Im pretty sure the vent above our stove isn’t actually a vent, it’s a fragrance enhancer.  Like it sucks in whatever smell you’re cooking and spits out a version twice as strong.

I almost slept in the guest room last night because I told her to turn on the vent above the stove. 

Guest bed is better than our master bed. It’s our old mattress and much more comfortable to me. If I wake up in the middle of the night I go in there and fall right back asleep.

SMS exchange

Her: "I got him an electric shaver.

Me: "K. I got him a manicure kit like you mentioned."

Her: "I also got him one. You should ask before you do stuff like that.
Can you get him a black hoodie?"

Me: "Not while he is with me."

Her: "Why is he with you?"

Me: "We need physicals for Winter Camp." (Scouts BSA)

Her: "Fine, I'll do it myself (like always)."

Me: "...Says the person who said I shouldn't have gotten him a manicure kit."

Visiting the in-laws and wife woke up with “major” toothache. Just dropped her off at emergency private dental clinic. 

I reminded her to get an invoice so we can claim the cost back. Ive been paying $$ every month for private international medical coverage that she wastes because 3 out of 4 times she forgets to ask for the receipt and “its too much hassle” to ask for them to email a replacement. 

So the over/under is 25%. Whos taking the bet for this instance?

Too much hassle to email?  That’s on you at that point. Make that happen.

Login to her email and send it for her?  I have to do that with my wife.  She got "give me your login info or do it yourself, there isn't a third door".  I said it respectfully, but meant it.  Constantly had issues like that but no longer.  

When we first got together I found out she was paying $10K for house insurance, so I set her up with a broker.  Got it to $2800.  Then found out a year later she never canceled the first, so was now paying $12,800 for it.  I dialed the number with her next to me, had her add me as a user.  Then took care of it.  We got lucky that the second insurance was actually through the same company, so they should have done it proactively.  Got a sweet $10K check back.  

She was also subscribed to Netflix twice, was paying 4 times what was needed for car insurance.  

I used to get pissed, but had to realize she's amazing at some things, but this just isn't one of them.  And I am good at it, so it's my thing now, and she lets me have full control over it for that reason.  

You could also just say you are her.  I mean, what are they going to say "you don't sound like a woman"?  Then just feign outrage, and get the info lol

Kudos you man. 
You must have married a unicorn that doesn’t believe in magical thinking.

Are we married to the same woman? I found out last month my wife hasn't filed any dental claims since the pandemic. We've been paying full price for cleanings and fillings this entire time. "Delta Dental says I have to fax in the claim sheets and we don't have a fax machine".

We were on an extended family trip in Costa Rica from the 16th to the 23rd.  Did not get back until late on the 23rd and were hosting wife's family for Christmas.  So we had a lot to do.

I have never had more (obvious) instructions in my life.  Like 2 seconds before I was about to do something, she would tell me to do it.  Or ask about it.  Or start correcting what I was in the process of. I was constantly working around house all day on 24th and until we served lunch for Christmas.  Which is fine. I like hosting.  But she was just wearing me out.  I finally told her to pause her mouth at least one minute before asking me to do something.   Because I was tired of it and she knows it is a pet peeve of mine for her type A ass to be asking me to do something I am in the process of doing or to be micromanaging how I choose to do something.  No, I can fucking thaw out the turkeys and brisket I smoked just fine like I do on a monthly basis at the ranch.

I finally told her if I did not do it within that minute, to go ahead.  But I am not an idiot.  I know exactly what needs to be done.  But lay the fuck off me with instructions or task lists unless and until you see me idle on the couch,.

My speech went over well!

Just kidding, it did not.  But we are cool, and I love her.

Feel your pain.

My wife tries to micro-manage me at times - telling me what to do, when to do in, and how to do it. Sometimes she'll stand over my shoulder to see if I'm doing it right. My response to her is if she wants it done a certain way, she can do it herself.

We have an unspoken division of labor in the house. I ask her to tidy up, but do the deep clean myself. On weekends, the kitchen belongs to me and she needs to GTFO because she doesn't understand texture and timing..

Mrs NNM often asks me to do something by asking me if I want to do it:

“Do you want to take out the trash?”

The true answer is no, I don’t want to. I will be happy to do that, though, if asked nicely. 

Better: “would you please take out the trash?”  Answer:  yes, I will happily do that for you!”

"should we" is my wife's version.

Please put a stop to this. Especially if you have kids. My Mom would say shit like this, but would yell it when she expected resistance. It was confusing as shit as a kid. As an adult, it is passive aggressive light. Fuck that shit.

Mrs. ExCorn Whiskey and I were driving out in the country one day when she asked, “Is there any of those horned rabbits around here?

One more, I was looking in the paper one afternoon when I saw a classified ad that was selling a compound bow. I said there is a 50 to 70 pound compound bow for sale. She replied, “isn’t that a little heavy to be carrying around?”

My 28-year old daughter, a very intelligent medical professional (married to a former SF guy, so no pics, otherwise he would have to shoot you) thought until last year that jackalopes were a real thing.  She was born in Albuquerque and lived in Santa Fe until her 10th birthday, and they were a regular fixture around town.  The Jackalope Mercado/store is fairly prominent in Santa Fe (https://jackalope.com/), so she just went with it.
