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

Shouldn’t be “Fan” and “Lights”?  Is the switch not in the living room?

If the switch turns on the Living Room, awesome

Her boyfriend was getting confused.

I would be cool with that, but then again I have a slight OCD...

1. complains about the clutter in the garage.
2. says she wants to have a garage sale.
3. brings home more random stuff that her grandmother was going to throw away.
4. puts it in the garage.
5. complains about having to sort/price stuff for her garage sale (which likely wont happen for another 6mos).
6. complains about the clutter in the garage.

Doesn't add all of the different chemicals.  I want something I fill with chemicals 5-6 times a year and it does the rest.

[JimmyHoffa 1188]

 

Mrs. Hoffa- You don't always have to yell at the boys, you are always too hard on them, etc

Me- I am not yelling at them I just expect them to listen and follow the rules, etc.

Literally the next day...................

One of our sons fucks up and we need to explain to him why it isn't acceptable, etc. I don't say a word and just let my wife handle it as "I am always yelling at them, too hard on them, etc.

After she gets done ripping him a new asshole-

Mrs. Hoffa- Why didn't you say anything? Why do I always have to be the bad guy? 

 

Me-

anyone else's wife(mind you on her phone 85% of the tv watching time) ask you "is this the only thing on"  to get you to change the channel when its clear either of us are not paying attention to whatever Jimmy Fallon has on his show tonight. I have no idea if this is the only thing on. Its 11:30 PM on a Wednesday. Its this, cash cab or property bros.

My wife brings home stuff work that they are throwing away. Totes that are too small to be of any use, countless disposable chaffing dishes with half used cans of fuel from catered lunches, a case of expired teddy grahams (no one here eats them, we’re not 4 years old).

I let it sit in the garage for a week then toss it in the trash

Usage report, bath towels

Me: Use. Hang to dry. Reuse for 3 days or so. Replace

Wife: Use 2. Hang to dry. Do not reuse. Compile towels on everything in bathroom that will hold a towel. Repeat.

Worse, we will be watching a show and she will ask me to rewind it or have me explain the last 5 minutes of what just happened because she was on her phone.

It's on the list.  I would put planning a wedding and preparing for the arrival of the first child ahead on the list.

[Sandman 3402]

My wife wants me to sit in the living room with her so we can watch shows together.  Never mind the fact that she's playing some dumb game on her phone or laptop the whole time. She just wants me in there, like a dog or something. No thanks, I'll chill in the study.

My wife "recycles" plastic grocery bags.

Instead of throwing them away, she stuffs them in a drawer in the kitchen.

About once a week, I open the drawer, pull out about half of the bags, and throw them in the trash.

 

She has literally never taken empty bags back to the store.

My MIL saved all of them. Every one. When she had enough, she’d fill a full size hefty bag with them, then stick it up in the attic. In Houston. When we cleaned out the house after she died, we found sack after sack of them. Which, in the Texas heat, had decayed into powder/snow. We opened one bag, white pieces everywhere. We trashed the rest after just a peek inside to confirm “yep, more fucking plastic bags.”

Mine tries to store them under the sink.  She has a container designed for them that was full, so she started putting them in another bag.  I throw them away each week after she goes to the store.  

She learned that if something is now gone, it has been thrown away.

We have a drawer in the kitchen that somehow holds more plastic bags than it's actual capacity should handle.  I try to keep the kids away from it in case it just explodes.

I found my wife’s stash, same disposition.

life hack - let the cat pee in the pile of bags. Usually only need to do it once or twice before she give up and only keeps a handful of bags

[Johnny Sack 8397]

I keep some plastic bags. I take leftovers or pre-made meals like chicken and rice or chili in individual packed ziploc containers for lunch. They are handy for carrying them.  

When I worked in grocery stores that had a plastic bag recycling box, we’d empty straight into the dumpster when it was full. Paper bags and cardboard were crushed and sold for $100 a ton or so.

Well, we don’t get those anymore because Austin. We still have most of the stash from however many years ago the ban went into effect.

This is a bed for your son. Paint it black and put a Batman logo on it. Or whatever he's into. Same with sheets and blankets.

Don't forget to use the new atrocious bedding she's had for 3 years as a drop-cloth so you don't stain your garage floor.  Two birds, one stone.
