Stopped by Kroger on the way home today and walked out just in time to see a tornado go by (Bryan Tx, 4:45pm). Called the wife who was still at work and told her I just watched a tornado from Kroger parking lot and it's heading toward our house, wife responds "did you get my coffee mate?" 

This video was from right down the road.

Our house is a few miles east of town and the tornado petered out before it got there and no I didn't get her damn coffee mate.

Too bad it wasn’t Kroger Field

   It appears my wife is raising my daughter correctly.

   Came home from hitting some balls at the range. Opened the door, stepped inside with my bag, turned and locked it. My daughter(10 years old) comes skipping her way down the steps. "I will get it Daddy", she says. I hear a click. I turn to look at she is walking away.

"You just unlocked the door", I said.

How long have we been living in this house that she doesn't know when the lock is locked or unlocked? She will make some dude a fine wife someday, and he will be posting right here with the rest of us.

My input is that coffee will probably be marginally better than what I get out of my $150 Mr. coffee espresso maker

Yep. I mean if her money or inherited money...spend it on dumb shit that a 150 Keurig can do.

Point stands...still a moron

   Yes. People don't get that the uber expensive espresso machines are simply to keep up with the beating that a restaurant or coffee shop will put on them. For household use a less expensive machine will do the same thing. You are only use it once a day instead of 100 after all.

This thread is pretty humorous.  Luckily I have a cool wife with limited dumbassery, but she's recently gone off the deep end coming up with new business ideas.  They're usually along the lines of "feed tuna fish mayonnaise" and have zero chance of ever happening, but she marches along regardless.  I've also noticed an uptick in business magazine subscriptions like "Inc." and "Fortune", which of course are never opened and go straight into recycling.

Yesterday a new one popped up:

Wife:  I have a great idea.

Me: Oh yeah, what is it this time?

Wife: What the hell does that mean, "this time?"

Me: (Backtracking quickly) I mean it was just last week you had that awesome idea about the pot holder with hand moisturizer inside. Remember?

Wife:  Oh yeah, remind me to follow up on that.  Anyway I saw a video of a bunch of kids dancing at Coachella.  They all had plastic cups with God knows what inside, but here's the thing!  (She's fully animated now, hands outstretched, eyes wide open, waiting for me to engage.)

Me:  (putting down the remote, sighing internally). What thing?

Wife:  The drinks inside were all splashing out of the cups!  So I'm thinking, what a waste!  Shouldn't there be some kind of cap on those plastic cups to keep the drinks from spilling?  I mean how many music festivals are there out there and how many kids are spilling drinks out of plastic cups??? 

Me:  Millions?

Wife: (pointing at me like a crazy person) That's right, millions!   So here's my idea.  I come up with a cover for those cups.  I'm thinking it would be like a square piece of Saran Wrap but the edges have some kind of glue on them.  So you could pull it out of a small pouch and wrap it over the cup.  Voila, no more spilling.

Me:  But if you put a cover over a cup how do you drink from it?

Wife: (pointing at me again, still crazed). A ha!  I already thought of that.  We cut a little slice in the middle, so they can still drink from it but not spill.

Me:  So how would it stick to the cup again?

Wife:  Not sure yet but that will be the first thing I research.

Me:  You know, I think there are international conglomerates that specialize in plastic cups and caps for those cups.  I'd bet if there was a need for a product as you describe they would have come up with something like that already.

*insert awkward pause, ten seconds of silence while my wife's face turns red*

Wife:  WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE SUPPORTIVE!

Me: (Backtracking quickly). Remember my friend Bill?  I think his brother is a patent attorney (a complete lie).  Maybe I should reach out to him and see if he has any recommendations on how *we* should move forward with this.

Wife: (visibly relaxing). Really?  That would be awesome, thanks honey!

Me: (pats self on back, reengages with the remote)

That's 800 five dollar coffees at Starbucks.  It will pay for itself in year 3 you ingrate.

 She spends a lot of money on coffee. I guess you could say we do, I get some occasionally.  Not from Starbucks but from sone other little place,  only slightly less expensive. Talked to her about all this this morning, I’ll hear more later but she says she researched this stuff for over a month. I like that. It could end up saving us money if she’s serious about it. I’ll give her a chance to learn how to use it and see where it goes

Please tell her you’ve had an idea about a device that goes through the hole in the lid and uses an orally generated vacuum to deliver the liquid to the person.

They're married so you would need to explain the idea of an "orally generated vacuum" to her.

I coach our high school girls' softball team and pretty much all of my weekends have been tied up since the end of February and will continue to be through the end of the school year.  My wife has been itching for a weekend trip to Billings just to get out of town and shop.  I finally got tired of hearing about it and told her to shut the fuck up whining about it and go....but she had to take our daughter with her. 

Against my better judgement, I let her take my truck so she could get it serviced Monday morning before they headed back home.  Its a 300 mile trip one way to Billings and I had nothing but dread leading up to them leaving, and worried while they were en route.  She's already driven off the edge of the highway and sideswiped a couple of highway markers  on the way back from there once before awhile back while looking for house keys in her center console (75 miles from home....as if she could unlock the house that far from home!).

She called while pulling into the Sonic lot as soon as she got into town. About 30 seconds into the conversation she said, "let me call you back."  I didn't think anything of it as I thought she was ordering.  I didn't hear from her again for about 6 hours.  Again, didn't think anything of it as I figured she was just getting her "big city" shopping in.

Fast forward to Monday morning...I called to see if the dealership has said anything about my truck.  She said, "no, but I have something to tell you."  I knew right away she'd fucked up my truck.  She said that when she was talking to me as she pulled into Sonic that she sideswiped the stall on the passenger side.  Instead of just stopping and backing up like a normal fucking person would do, though, she powered right through leaving dents, scrapes , and yellow paint down the entire passenger side.  And to prove she was committed to completely fucking it up, she dented the driver's side front fender trying to back out!

She asked if I wanted her to send photos and I told her if she did she better never return home.  I was so pissed by then that seeing what it looked like would have only made it worse.  It took me 45 minutes to even go out and see what it looked like after they got home.  She said the Sonic manager told her they put in new stalls last year and that they are smaller.  Bullshit!  I was just there in October and they were the same ones they've always had.  No one does that kind of work up here in the winter.  Its easy to tell how it happened - she took a narrow approach instead of a wider right turn into the stall.  

I paid the truck off a little over a year ago and told her I'd dropped the coverage to liability only and that the damage was $9500.  In reality, its fully covered with a $1000 deductible (and the damage was 'only' $7000), but I'm gonna make her sweat for a couple of weeks before telling her the truth.  I haven't parlayed this into a blow job yet (been sick the past couple of days) but I have gotten breakfasted cooked for me at 6 am the past two mornings.  

Here's the damage....

Let me know when she's bored with it in 3 months.  I'll come take it off your hands for tree fiddy.

Sorry/not sorry to laugh at you Burt. Wife takes car and damn near totals it trying to get a cherry limeade. 

My MIL is forbidden from driving our cars when she visits up here.  She's hit the garage with my wife's Tahoe and then a couple years later hit the shopping cart corral with the wife's (then) new QX80.  She's never touched my car, nor will she ever touch my car.  Last time she came up to watch our kids so we could go on a trip, we rented her a Corolla.

That's fucking awesome. Take some rep. 

She's truly a terrible driver.  Lives on 35 acres in east Texas and runs into shit all the time because she doesn't pay attention to where she is going.  She has hit every car my BIL has owned in the past 10 years.  Usually hits them in reverse because she doesn't fucking look in her mirrors or at the camera screen when she backs up.  About 6 months ago she backed up into a ditch on her rental property's front yard.  Missed the driveway on the way out because (shocker), she wasn't looking.
