    The conversation was incredible:

    “my computer won’t turn on and I had porn tabs open.

    like a lot”

    What’s the worst tab you had open?

    “I don’t know but I can feel the judgement already.”

    100% - both of the girls are guilty of this. If they need to buy an outfit for an event or anything it’s hitting 30-40 tabs easily.

    One browser. One tab. Only have multiple tabs if I’m actively researching/comparing something. As soon as I’m done, back to one tab.

    I’m assuming you missed the initial discussion of this - she’s been working on her Crow street cred for like 3+ years or so after doing a deep dive on them.

    pretty sure if I ever do anything wrong I’ll be killed by her crow gang.

    My wife cannot help but exaggerate every unit of measurement. Except for that one you're thinking about. Time is always the most egregious one. It's always something like this most recent example from a few minutes ago:

    Her: I've got to get there and then back home but it'll take an hour so it's just not worth even trying it.

    Me: It's absolutely your choice but that drive won't take an hour. Probably less than 20 minutes each way even with bad traffic.

    Her: I drive that drive every single week and it always takes 25 minutes minimum.

    Me: Oh, okay. If you say so.

    Google Maps: 14 minutes with a 13 minute alternative route.

    At least she’s giving her self plenty of time. My wife likes to go the other way. We need to leave in 10 minutes? Cool. I have plenty of time to file our taxes. ARGH WHY ARE WE LATE!

    The amount of excusing of old people my wife does drives me fucking bonkers.

    Couple of ones that have come up in the last few days

    1) old people complaining about how everything's online now and they don't understand it? Well they just didn't grow up with it.

    It's been 30 years. These people were in their 40s when the internet happened. If they can't use it at this point that's entirely their own fault

    A frequent one related to this is how my MIL and her friend are terrified of going anywhere new because they refuse to use Google maps or some other GPS system. Which have been around long enough that they're built into their car.

    2) we were at a fast food place where you put your order in on the screens. We're at one of the screens and this old man just pushes me out of the way to get to the next screen over (which there was plenty of room to get there without touching me). I remarked that he was a dick and my wife says "oh he's just old he probably didn't realize" and I'm like that's just as bad, he had to DRIVE here!

    Agreed. Even my 86 yr old grandma knows how to do basic internet searches and use email. But my 63 yr old mom is completely baffled by technology and refuses to try to learn any of it.

    Wife to me: "Can you make me a bloody mary?"

    No, go back to sleep it's 6am

    Gf: "No one is delivering yet, I was just looking at postmates"

    I always know I'm in for a doozy when I hear a sentence that starts with: we should invest in...

    Today it was a bounce house after the last investment broke during the 2nd use
