Why should I have to get a calendar? She's the one who sucks. 

Thank you for closing this loop. That is almost exactly what my husband said when I made such a suggestion.

I will never understand why guys will allow this to happen to themselves.  Get a calendar, agree with your wife to put all events there, and do the same for your stuff.  There is zero excuse and you don't have to look bad if you forgot, just look each day for 8 seconds at it.  Then if it's not on the calendar you have an amazing out.  

My wife is the one that does this to me, and having the calendar makes my life so much easier. I've gotten out of going to all kinds of stuff because it wasn't on the calendar and my plans were.  

Are you saying a paper calendar at home, or do y'all use an app? An app you or anybody on here likes? Preferably something that can be accessed via mobile and desktop.

I'd like to get the shared calendar going, but I can't access personal google stuff from my work computer so it rules out google calendar. I don't like the iphone native calendar for adding events.

Wife's painting the laundry room for some stupid reason, even though we're going to have the whole house painted in about 3 months.

I'm lying on the couch, under the blanket, watching football with the dog lying next to me.

Her: Can you come in here when there's a break?

Me: No, I'm not going to get up and give you my opinion of how the laundry room looks.

Her: Why?

Me: Because I don't care and I'm extremely comfortable here.  

Her: blahblahblah  I want to know if it needs another coat of paint!

Me: You're the painter!  You decide!

Her: But I need another pair of eyes!

<I get up and go look>

Me: I think it looks fine...

Her:  <pause> I'm going to put another coat on it.   
 

 

Fantastic.

I'd let the calendar (and a lot of other things) slide if this is the case.

Conversely... if you put "blowjob" on the calendar a couple of times a week, it ensures that it will happen.

While removing the mystery of "will I get a beej tonight?", it then becomes evidence for future discussions- "Why didn't you come to junior's saxophone recital? It was on the calendar!" "Oh, so we're doing all the things on the calendar now??"

Google calendars. We let each other see the other person's calendar. Do it on the computer, or iPhone calendar, or Google calendar app (which sucks even more).

Google Calendars all day.  Perfect tool for me.  And iphone has a google calendar app so you don't need to use the native one.  I think the app works very well, but yes I do 95% on my computer.

Yep. After 3 unanswered texts, 2 unanswered calls, and a "Find My Phone" app that plays a constant noise even if on silent yields no results, I just pick one. When she finally texts or calls while I'm pulling out of the parking lot I tell her, "You're too late. I got (this one). If you don't like it you can go back to the store or learn how to answer your phone."

It really pisses me off because of the last point. She'll text me about something that I can't answer without more info. I immediately ask for the info I need so I can answer her question. No response for 30+ minutes. She literally (literally) texted me less than 30 seconds ago and apparently threw her phone out the window like it was a live grenade and started running the other direction.

 

Yep.

Michael Richards Yes GIF

This is the same as all of my wife complaints, and I am trying to figure out how to short circuit this or always remember to approach differently, but she is just the master at failing to comprehend how to provide any useful information.

Background here, we have a newborn, who was on the dock-a-tot on the table while we were eating breakfast. If I smell something funny while the baby is around my first thought is poop. My wife sits down with some sort of thing that looks like a cream cheese vegetable dip and I smell something strong, the information I was looking for was what ingredient on her plate might explain the smell.

CM: What is that?
CM Wife: it's a dip.
CM: Yeah but what is in it? Is it like a coleslaw or something?
CM Wife: I'm not sure
CM: Does it have cabbage?
CM Wife: It's vegetables.
CM: Where did you get it?
CM Wife: I made it out of that rainbow salad I had you get.

nm find the fact that she doesn't know what is in something that she herself made, here is the rainbow salad:
image.png.b5a4abdcc9f29901b2ebf0eb59774374.png

i suppose I need to just start with "what is that smell", but it's just maddening how tactical I have to be to get "it's cabbage and cream cheese" from "what is that".

Mine would be "it's ok, we'll use it another time" 

Narrator: It would never be used 

Why are you asking dumb questions? You know you won't get a useful answer. Next time just say "that smells like shit."

We’re going to Japan for spring break. So far we’ve only booked a ryokan in Kyoto.

So all of yesterday she’s pestering me about renting Japanese clothes to take pictures at different touristy spots.

I said we should focus on booking hotels and seats on the bullet train. But still non stop talk about clothes rental.

I finally told her I don’t give a shit about clothes. She didn’t like I’m my use of that word. But holy shit woman, let’s get the basics down first.

That's nice.  But I would buy one ninja outfit and wear it everyday.

Tell your wife that this is the outfit you have to wear for all of the "outfit" pictures, and if she can't get that for you then to stop trying.

I would wear that.
My Judo Sensei had a modern Dō Maru, Ō-Yoroi set, Bogu & Hakama that he purchased while training @ the Kodokan.

After he passed away in the early 90's, I was supposed to get all of that stuff, however I think his personal possessions were partially raided while most everyone else was @ the memorial service & his Mom never really wanted to talk about it.

I ended up with a Skandanavian wooden table & 4 chairs.

The armor (Dø Maru & Ō-Yaroi) were both a deep gloss black with gold trim.

Altogether, everything would probably be worth close to # 25,000.⁰⁰ in today's dollars; supposedly he got all of this in the mid 70 s.





This is about a married couple, so... that was a lie.
It's the greatest lie women ever tell - that they were going to initiate some sex act later but because you pissed them off they aren't going to do it now.

Narrator: They were never going to do anything later even if you did everything right.

I'm 100% sure she is gonna let go of that one time 7 years ago on vacation when that blonde waitress with huge tits was flirting with you for 2 seconds and you didn't immediately yell at that slut for flirting with you in front of the woman you love more than life itself.

HER plan is that you mention something you did - maybe flirted with the cute checkout girl @ the grocery store 18 years ago...

& She has Ø to add other than to see what you would come up with.

Her: I moved the trash bin in the garage so the wind doesn’t blow it over.

I get in the jeep yesterday, back out, and THUMP! Full ass trash bin was behind my Jeep. (Older Jeep so no sensors). When she came out I was pretty mad still picking shit up. With a raised voice I said “please stop putting shit behind the Jeep” because this wasn’t the first time and she cried and called me mean.

Glad your kid wasn’t behind the jeep. 

Me too? He was in the car with me.
