Stupid $h1t your wife does.

  • My wife does like to move things around and put them "where they should be" instead of where I want them to be.

    My biggest frustration with her is her propensity to quote herself when she talks to others, usually starting the sentence with "so." (e.g. "when I was getting ready to go running I was like so, should I do hills today or should I just go for distance.") I've been on her for years about this.

    in 19 years of marriage she has cost me 1) 350 for the bumper 2) 500 deductible for the crumpled truck 3) shit-ton of epoxy and duct tape on my mower d) oh, and dont forget the time she quit her job at the bank (making 125k the previous year) to take a job at the kids school..........at 45k/year.....

    damn. Now Im depressed.

    How much did it cost to hire her a driver because, I'm sure you don't let her drive anymore, do you?

    We moved away from the snow and ice, so she is now allowed to drive forward, but I have banned her from driving in reverse.

    Confused what the purpose of Easter was, thought Jesus died on Christmas.

    well to be fair jesus wasn't born on Christmas either...

    Your average UofM fan and I have something in common, neither of us went to UofM. Though we do share One major difference, I got Accepted.

    just repeat the word 'so' every time she does this. She'll get real annoyed and stop.

    Along with my father-in-law and step-mother-in-law, she moved our grill up onto our covered porch and used it up there to grill hamburgers and smoked sausage.

    I thought you had your woman under control. You are slacking lately. Show her who's boss.

  • - She puts dirty utensils on the counter instead of walking 10 feet to throw it in the sink so we don't have to wipe the counters down 3 times a day.
    - When using a chip clip it seems as if she blows air into the bag to make sure the chips go stale. I always squeeze the air out, then clip.
    - She thinks it's cute to have our 8 month old get food all over and changes her clothes 4 to 6 times a day instead of wiping the food off of her chin and using a bib
    - When doing the dishes she uses about 30 times the amount of dish soap needed and also manages to get water all over the floors
    - I know every woman does this but she is fucking awesome at it. When trying to figure out where we should eat she of course says "I don't care" and then proceeds to shoot down my next 5 suggestions.
    - Once a decision is made on where to go eat and we both agree, she still keeps looking for other restaurants we could go to.

  • My husband says this is stupid: I save the empty pop/beer can boxes and place the empties back in the box once consumed. Not only this, I rinse each can out and make sure they are all facing the same way. He thinks I should just toss them into a big plastic bag.

    That isn't stupid. Stupid is wasting a garbage bag on empty cans when you bought the package that will hold them.

  • Still doesn't understand why her iPhone gets Internet away from the house, but my kids' iPods don't. Even though I've explained it at least a half dozen times.

    Thinks that when it's hot out she has to turn the temp control in her car all the way down to 60 to get cold air. When she gets in my car she turns it all the way down too. I've tried to explain using the home thermostat as an example, but she doesn't get it.

    i also rinse... that way you don't get warm beer dripping on everything. thumbsup

    I bought some batteries, but they weren't included... so I had to buy them again. What do batteries run on?

    did you have a "swear jar" when you were a kid where you had to put money in a jar every time you swore? I put out the "so" jar. Hopefully that will take care of that annoying little habit!

    have you tried hitting her?

  • My ex once called me in a panic b/c the remote door lock fob ran out of batteries and he didn't know how to unlock the car door. I tried to keep myself from laughing when I told him to try the key.

    We also had a huge argument b/c he did not believe me that there are three feet in a yard.

    In order from the first to most recent: 1) backed my new Crew Cab Dually (with chrome bumper) into a light post. (ruined the $350 bumper) 2) backed the same truck into the garage (no damage to truck this time) 3) Spun our 2mo old 1/2 Ton Pickup THREE times, at (allegedly) 25 mph, jumped the ditch and crumpled the entire drivers side into the trees 4) back that same pickup into a light post in a parking lot d) back into my john deere riding mower.

    Did your wife chose/bring home the Jack Russell "Terrorist" that did all that damage to your house? If so, there's another entry for your list.

    My wife is awesome for the most part, but she does one thing that drives me crazy.

    She opens the bag in the cereal box with as much grace as a raccoon digging through trash. It honestly looks like a bear mauled it with its claws and makes it impossible to pour cereal without getting it every where.

    My wife does the same. She also manages to rip the flaps of the cereal box in two or three places as she opens it, so that it will never close well.

    It's pretty funny at this point.

    Mine cant seem to figure out how to pull open the bag of cereal inside the box, so she cuts the corner of the bag off with scissors. This, of course, makes it so that when you pour the cereal out and then set the box upright, there is cereal that will fall down inside the box instead of staying in the bag. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but freaking annoying.

  • Not my wife, but seemed relevant. Just the other day my roommates (2 guys & 1 chick) & I were watching tosh.0 when the below video came on in which a guy asks his wife "If you're traveling 80 mph, how long does it take you to travel 80 miles?" and in her attempt to calculate the answer to this question face-palm stupidity ensues.

    The other guys and I are laughing our asses off when Nancy chimes in with, "What's so funny? I don't think I could figure that out either!" hand

  • dude, she's tough, she'd hit back. She got mugged once, chased the guy down, tackled him and got her stuff back despite getting a concussion from being punched in the head by the guy. She's 5-1, the guy was 6-6. She also does Krav Maga (Israeli military martial arts).
