    Here’s the difference between my wife and I with regards to finances...

    She orders pizza by calling Dominos/Papa Johns/whatever and just asks for two large pizzas and ends up paying full price. Who cares that there are specials for better deals, it’s just ordering pizza. She doesn’t want to deal with all that just to save a $8.

    I call back, cancel the full price order, and use the special. $10 cheaper, 60 seconds of time, and...

    I’m an asshole for making her feel dumb about ordering pizza.

    If you’re not using the deals at big pizza chains you’re just giving them more money than they’re asking for.

    Who fucking calls the big pizza chains? Just use the internet and you don't have to talk to the meth heads usually working the counter.

    Certainly an age threshold here. By default I call for anything but if I find out there is an app, game over. Also I have to call my pizza shops because my places won’t get an app for another 25 years.

    Well though I'm ecstatic that my ex is now an ex I will recommend avoiding going full tmb in conversations with the bff.

    Her: "Why do you always make me feel like my points are stupid? (After repeating the same stupid point for the fourth time.)

    Me: "listen, I'm not trying to do that but your points are actually kinda stupid, repetitive, and there isn't point in listening to you go over them again unless you just need to vent."

    Her: *major melty*

    I normally don't date women who pull the stupid shit and now I've vowed to never make that exception again, no matter what other umm... redeeming qualities, they might have.

    New subdivision problems and they recognize my address so I have to call for delivery. However, I so research the specials and tell them what special I want.

    JonBenet’s wife calling the pizza place is like when Dennis and Dee ask the dealer for one crack rock, please and the guy responds by requesting $200, which Dennis and Dee deem to be reasonable. Having said that, feels like some arguments could be avoided if she just relayed the need to order pizza to him so that he could do it online. Or, he could show her how to use the app.

    A waffle out of a waffle iron is essentially a well-done steak and the people who eat them probably use ketchup instead of pure maple syrup.

    What I use is a waffle mold. Only $230 on Amazon.

    I'm pretty sure my wife's favorite activity is attending any wedding or baby shower she's invited to even if she isn't really close with the person involved and messaging me halfway through to tell me how bored she is.

    Wife and I put our house up for sale yesterday. We’ve done a lot of work to it and the realtor is confident it will sell quickly. 4 showings today, 2 offers with a 3rd likely. Open house tomorrow and 2 more showings. Everyone submits best and final by 5 pm tomorrow. It’s been a wild few days.

    This is a stupid busy weekend for me for work, but I will be able to leave the hospital (go live for a brand new documentation system starts tomorrow) at 5 to go to the realtors office to select an offer within roughly 24 hours of them submitting.

    Wife was trying to ask me to reschedule the meeting with the realtor as she was going with a few girlfriends to a viewing of Little Women at 3:45 tomorrow. No words necessary, I just simply looked at her and said “yeah maybe we can go to a movie another time.”

    Uhhh, yeah, that may be a wise move. Unless you are planning to find 75k that we will make on the sale of our house under the seat at the theatre.

    You could order online and go pick it up and save money and 20-30 minutes of waiting while your pizza gets cold and relying on someone driving a beat up Kia trying to find your home.

    Not my wife, but the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. So we got my 1 year old some Mickey Mouse magnets for Christmas to go on the fridge or dishwasher for him to play with. Well he likes to take each one off and throw them on the floor. I guess our dog decided to eat one while he was taking a nap.

    My wife tells me about finding the dog finishing off the magnet about the time my step daughter comes downstairs. Her immediate response was, I wonder if the dog will stick to the fridge now. If this girl doesn’t marry rich, she has no hope in life

    Magnets are very dangerous to swallow, FWIW. If it broke apart the pieces can perforate tissue as they progress through the digestive system.

    For those of you wondering what it takes to get sympathy from my wife for being ill, it took her having to take me to the ER after I smashed my face into (I think)be table when I fainted from fever from the flu.

    This sympathy wears out after two days by the way; now she suspects I fainted from drinking too much Nyquil the night before.
