Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do

Screw that. Mrs Shooter complained I should help with cleaning the grout about 20 something years ago.  OK I said and turned around and opened the cutlery drawer, turned around and walked out of the kitchen and into the bathroom and waited.  Sure enough a few seconds later I heard her holler "oh shit".  Just as she flew into the bathroom I drug the point of an old butter knife down a grout line.  "What are you doing"?  I'm cleaning the grout. "Well you don't do it like that".  Well, that's the way I've always done it.  "Nevermind I'll just do it myself".

The subject has never come up again, I've never been asked again, and the grout is spotless and beautiful if I do say so myself.

Background: Wife's phone has a shattered screen and is difficult to read.  She needed to run an errand so I lent her my phone to take with her on her errand.  Before she left, I was making a grocery order online.   She returns and tells me she did the same while she was out.  Guess how she communicated this to me.

No no no. She can nut up and get her shattered screen fixed.

I have all the kids shitty phones that they don’t use. I’d put my wife’s SIM card in one of those.

No way I’d give my wife my phone.

Yeah, that’s asking for two phones with shattered screens

My wife is on her weekly Zoom Netflix and chill group with her friends. She can’t make her internal microphone work, so I give her my work headset. I cannot stand giving over the shoulder IT advice. Either don’t ask, or get the fuck out of the way and let me fix it.

If she gives up the chair then you are saying she's too dumb to fix it and you are diminishing her womanhood, you insensitive bastard.

I've owned approx 15 cellphones in my lifetime.  I cracked one screen one time.  A single crack across the entire face that was still completely usable.  Pretty sure it was warm and I had it in my back pocket and sat on it.

If the old lady had 15 cellphones in her lifetime, wanna guess how many have sustained shattered screens?

At the end of our block is a cul de sac. We live on the straight part of the block on right side of the road facing the end, so when visitors (and we ourselves occasionally) arrive at the house, a driver can park by the curb in front and be facing the correct direction so that when said driver leaves, he just has to drive 100 more feet and drive around the circle and head back out. No need to ever put the car in reverse. Delivery drivers do this move all the time when they come by the house. 

For whatever reason, Mrs CL refuses to do this. She insists on pulling into the neighbors' driveway across the street and then executing a tight three point turn that takes at least as much time as going around the loop. 

This morning, another neighbor had an overnight guest who had parked across the street from said driveway. While executing her usual but unnecessary three point turn, Mrs CL backed into the neighbor's guest's car and dinged it pretty good. 

Naturally, she was mad that this car had been parked in that location. 

I don't even know where to begin.

Mine did similar a few years ago. Minus the 3-point, and straight up backed right into the trailer the neighbor across street had parked (and even coned off) on said street. 
 

Smack right into it like it wasn’t even there. Punched a nice hole in the bumper, that’s still there today. The trailer? No scratch at all.

This is one reason I still use my Google Voice number and Hangouts. Get all my texts on my laptop/desktop/whatever.

Whole roasted chicken last night.  She usually does a great job with it..

Breaking down the remaining bird after we were finished.

Sure enough...giblet bag in the cavity. SMH

She said she pulled out a bag...which I suppose is a possibility?  Or she pulled the neck out and left the bag.

anyway, we didn't die and the bag didn't seem to melt.

I always keep one of my older phones in case mine breaks, because I absolutely have to have my phone for work. One time when we were still dating, she was getting the screen replaced and it needed to be shipped. She didn't want to be without a phone for two days, so I gave her my back up.

About four hours later I get this text:

"Whose the naked blonde chick in you photos???"

Well that's at least easier to explain than "Who's* the naked blonde chick you're in in you photos???"

It’s possible I’m your wife as I did this exact thing myself. It was totally my fault. That said, you should never park directly behind someone’s driveway if there is any way you can avoid it- because people (like me) are stupid and careless idiots.

Perfect opportunity to point out the correct way to do it

Our family of four is going with an old friend of mine and his family of four to Gulf Shores. Wife packs the two leftover hamburger buns even though we have a grocery order with eight buns when we get there.

Who prepares 8 burgers for 8 people? Does no one eat 2 burgers? Always make extra burgers.

Our neighbors across the street park directly behind our driveway all the time. Drives me crazy. And they still do it even after I've asked them to stop.

I am not sure why Mrs CL has never hit their cars yet; I would be OK with that. 

you ask your neighbors to change where they park in front of their own house?

 

honestly it would never occur to me to do that. and if my neighbor did that to me I would buy more cars just to park in front of his driveway
