I'm voting for you in the "Outstanding Achievement in Humor" category of the 2021 TMB Awards. Just for your posts in general.
I was thinking electrocution or a giant strip of that fly tape. He’d need to get the cannon version of the salt gun, load it with deer lick.
my wife and her family only put dirty dishes NEXT to the sink. I’ve been yelled at at least 100x times because, ‘they don’t go in the sink, they go next to it.’ I’ve often explained that this is not common at all and if she wants to ask a group of anybody outside her family their opinion she is welcome to do it. The only dishes that don’t go into the sink are nice knives for several obvious reasons.
you put in what you can, but we both know when your making a big meal, or those nights when the last thing you want to do after eating is literally anything because of work/life/whatever. It’s normally not a problem because we clean while we cook and put single dishes into it immediately. But when those times don’t happen she puts them next to the sink. At this point I’ve come to accept it like she comes to accept (even though I made sure she knew this from 1 month into the relationship when football season started) that during my teams playing I will be watching the game.
Before we got our new dishwasher and we (me) were doing them by hand, my wife would take the dirty dishes and put them in the clean soapy water without rinsing them off.
whats the family rational? Do they rinse the dishes prior to putting them on counter? Do you have a single sink vs double and dishes in the sink would be in the way? Definitely not normal and her family is an outlier.
Not my girl but one of her friends was backing up out of the garage. Some how the garage door started coming back down. She jumped out of the car to go check on it. So did her 14 year old daughter. Problem was that she didn't stop the car. 14 year old got pinned between the car and garage door somehow. Mom jumps back in the car and turns it off which of course doesn't free the kid. Realises kid is still stuck. Tries to start the car but it won't start (because it's still in reverse). Eventually boyfriend comes out puts the car in park, starts the car and frees the teenager. Only bruises but they still went in to the ER so BFF had to look her over. BFF asked if I was gonna put it on my man board. I feel seen.
More annoying than stupid but a day doesn't go by that I'm not picking up 2-3 pairs of shoes in random places. It's multiple pairs because shocker when she goes to leave for the second time of the day she doesn't look under the dining room table for the last pair she wore she grabs a pair by the door and when she gets home those get kicked off in the living room or somewhere else.
Not sure, I just typically pick up at the end of the night. Might end up with like 14 pairs scattered across the living/dining room. I would believe that she thinks she has magical shoes like this guys magical table but I've brought it up to her before.
I know that feeling. I’m tidy. My wife is not. Shoes she literally leaves in the path of the door where you trip walking instead 5 feet away where mine and the kids are, dishes would stay on the table overnight if I didn’t clear it, etc. (In her defense, she does take care of our youngest)
you just clean as you prepare the food and consolidate pots or dishes whenever you can. so all you have to do after your food is ready is clean that last pan or sheet.
Don’t leave those tickets on the coffee table. edit: or maybe you want to leave them there, no clue who a Luke Bryan is.
Just a vent brah, debated even posting cause it’s such a minor thing . I probably do plenty of shit her that annoys her that she posts about on TWB (The Womain Board).
Yeesh, fake an injury or something. Could always go the "that's such a shame, finally got us reservations at that restaurant you've been wanting to go to but it's at the same time and date as the concert" route. If you're gonna be forced to go, may as well double down on your roster of nice things you allegedly did for her.
Luke Bryan is hilariously awful, but just get drunk and look at the millions of attractive women that will be there.
Stuck in an elevator with a handle of Svedka, a gas station sandwich, and cell coverage was pre-sober fattus's dream situation.
Not really stupid, more of a “rant”, but just had the first Christmas gift/Christmas plan debate of the year. Always a fun one.
Really it’s the fact that I don’t mind doing gifts and stuff but I do hate buying stuff that someone won’t like, so I ask for hints and ideas. Her family goes crazy for Christmas though, like her mom buys her $1,000s worth of shit and hounds her about a list all the time, so there’s nothing really left for her to “want”. So she tells me to guess/pick whatever and I’m just like “uhhh you don’t have hobbies”
My go to if I'm in that sort of position where idk what to get is a concert/resort weekend/some other outing. She'll like it and it's not a material thing so it cuts out the guess work
That’s a good call. She thinks I’m crazy for wanting to make sure she’d actually like it. A couple years ago I snuck to the store to buy some blanket she wanted, got it home and hid it, etc. We go to her parents and her mom bought her the same one (we hadn’t done gifts on our own yet) and I was just like WTF? Ended up where my GF didn’t say anything about it, I guess her mom saw her feeling the blanket or something and got it. From that point on, I’ve said “save 2-3 items for me or else your mom will buy anything you even hint at”.
Yeah that's a nightmare. I wish I could do away with scheduled gift giving between the two of us but she won't go for it.
Yep. I told her I’d gladly switch to just doing a trip/some kind of plan together where we split it or whatever, but know she would still buy me gifts and I’d feel bad for following the plan lol
