Obviously it depends on what she does for a living but hair, skincare, exercise expense I've basically just assumed is going to be equivalent to another house payment for most of my adult life
Maybe not a house payment, but she is probably pushing $1k/month between all that stuff. I’m (mostly) fine with it, but feigning indignation on TMB for likes is more my speed. edit: The majority of these expenses are exercise related…family gym membership for year round pool access, yoga studio, barre classes, etc.
Yea I'm blowing through that budget probably by the 15th of the month but obviously I have to prep like I'm going to a photoshoot every day for work We do save on the Eathan haircut budget though by me having to cut his hair because it costs $45 plus tip to get a basic 1 grade buzz where we live. It's like $11 in JH.
So she got spoofed by a fake call but somehow figured out how to use Bitcoin before mentioning it to her husband?
I mean, there's people that go buy gift cards and shit, while still talking on the phone with the scammers. In short, people are stupid.
I love trying to keep those people on the phone for as long as possible. My personal record is 22 minutes.
Sister in law got got like this too. They had my ex at the bank before the bank manager stopped her. They are pretty good at targeting and researching beforehand. They spoofed the fbi number and knew places we had been over the last year (probably from Social). I’ve had one calling all my friends and family “about a legal matter” for a bit now. They are good at what they do and I hope they die painfully.
Wife bought 3 of these hideous pillows for $125 each because we “needed a new look”. They are non refundable. If you don’t hear from me, I might be in jail.
I was all pissed when my wife went and spent like $50 a pillow for couch pillows that just immediately end up either on the floor or the other end of the couch because they aren't comfortable sit or lean on
Wife has been complaining that our bedroom is so much colder than the rest of the house. Upon closer inspection she had a pillow covering the supply vent. "I didn't realize that would stop the heat from getting into our room"
This reminds me of how my wife doesn’t understand how to use the HVAC in the car. It’s literally just a thermostat where you set the temp. It blows my mind how it’s too complex for her.
My wife refuses to believe that turning the temp to max heat doesn't heat the car any faster than if she just chose a temp that she finds comfortable. Then, when she forgets that she has it at full heat, she gets too warm and just closes her vents thinking that will fix it.
Mine refuses to use the auto-temp setting. She gets in the car and will turn the air on max, then turn it lower. Whenever I set it to Auto, so gets upset and says it doesn't work, "And your mom agrees with me!", because it blows the air too fast at first while it's trying to get the temp corrected.
Normally in the winter I have the fan set to the windshield and legs. If my wife starts to get too hot, she will just change the setting to the legs.
It drives me crazy. Just set the temp to what you want. Let the computer do its work. And few understand that MAX is purely recirculating interior air vs. pulling from outside. Only helpful in summer when the inside is already cool, or you are driving through dust or something.
Anytime my girlfriend is driving it's either max cold or max heat depending on the weather. The inside of the car sounds like a fucking wind tunnel. I can't stand it.
This hits the feel hard. My wife will ONLY use fan power setting. Too warm, turns it up, to cold, turns it down. Nevermind that 75 degree air will be 75 degree air no matter how hard the fan is blowing.
I constantly try and sneak in a push of the "auto" button on the ac when I'm driving the wife's car Inevitably she will grab the fan dial at some point and turn it up or down
Never knew this was just a universal female issue. There has never been once that I have gotten into my wives car and the dial be on auto, even though I have explained it to her a million times.
It’s the Targetization or HGTVing that’s helped lead to this shit. When moving back to Nebraska from Oregon we have stayed in my parents-in-laws old house (they built a new one on farmland they grew up on). For my wife’s older sisters wedding they threw the wedding shower there because her twin didn’t want it at her house. As a result, for appearances sake, she had them redo the 1/2 bathroom. (Yes, I realize how sad that is). Anyway, I paint and I’ve had this little abstract painting I’ve stuck in EVERY bathroom I pee the most in since college. When I get bored I turn it in another direction because it’s kind of interesting to look at. It also is colorful so it legit looks kind of cool. Unpacking and I see this ‘live, laugh, love’ or some garbage quote sign in the bathroom on the floating shelf next to this small, fake plant. I replace the sign with my 10”10” painting. My wife doesn’t care because she thinks it looks way better and hates those stupid house decorations too. Guess who noticed and made a huge deal about it the first time visiting? Her older sister. I could only laugh because she hired an interior designer when they finished building their house & I’ve been commissioned by people to paint in my free time.
Auto 98% of the time, unless for some reason i need to run the defrost because of the conditions (humid and fogging up or cold and fogging up and auto just goes robot stupid.)
I often come here to vent about something my wife did/said. I'm here today to do the opposite, to praise her for something she enlightened me to. Never ever split an English muffin with a knife. Use a fork to poke into the sides and then pull it apart to increase the nooks and crannies. making egg sandwiches for dinner tonight... thats why this comes to mind.
I got married last year so I’m doing our taxes together for the first time. Get to the end and since it’s the first time I’m submitting them it asks me for her prior year adjusted gross income. I have her pull it up and curiously it’s only $28k. I immediately realize she fucked them up. She switched jobs last year and should have entered two W2s, only entered the first one. ‘Oh well why didn’t TurboTax say anything to me’ and ‘I thought my refund last year was pretty high’. We now owe the IRS money. Sweet. Thankfully it’s not a lot.
