I've done the same thing with tape measurers. I bought a 6 pack of them on Amazon, labeled them and put them where most needed (shop bench, junk drawer, tool boxes, garage, 1 in each vehicle) I'll be damn if I can find half of them now. The 1st place to look is in her purse, which is 1 of the places I labeled one for and I'll find 3 sometimes
This has always been my opinion
I've never had this issue of watching TV together. Our tastes are so polar opposite and always have been that we agree to disagree and have tvs and tablets everywhere and do our own thing. Guess I should consider myself fortunate.
1000 times this. Nothing makes my wife and daughters happier than a fully illuminated--yet completely unoccupied--room in our house.
I recommend marriage. My wife and I rarely fight or get mad at each other. She has some wild ideas and acts like wives other hubbies have talked about in this thread. I take it in stride and usually just laugh, sometimes to myself, about the weirdness and quirks of wives.
I have, twice. And have two kids to prove it.
Bonus points if you always seem to be taking a leak when she wants to initiate a yelling conversation from half an house away. I leave the toilet seat up when that happens.
It’s an oddity for sure. If the rooms are empty…the lights are on. Howevwr, if I’m in the room when she exits….boom. Lights out. Leaving me there going “WTF!?!?”
My line is “My wife is so much smarter than me. Sometimes it scares me”. Two things even the Devil can relate to:
Funny enough….6 years was the exact timeframe she kept groaning about. Is that just a nice, round, wife number or have we (as a collective) deduced the timeline of what can be conjured up immediately?
I can’t find anything in my house that I once knew exactly where to find (whatever it is).
Oh my god, our towel cabinet is an odd depth. You can’t fold a towel in quarters and it fit. The proper way to fold a towel and fit the space is to fold in half long way, then fold in half side to side. At that point you tri fold the towel and it fits the cabinet perfectly with zero wasted space but no she rolls the towels into a tube. When you open the cabinet door you just hope one towel falls out because I’ve become pretty adept at catching a rolling towel. It’s damn near impossible to catch a second roller. Did I mention that the towel cabinet is over the toilet and it’s a cardinal sin to fully put the lid down.
That’s nothing. My wife brings up stuff she claims I did or said in the 1970’s. It’s been so long ago I have no idea if I am guilty or not.
Your bags get moved to the door? Our trash will get so full and compacted while I am away, that I come home and it is the equivalent of moving Thor’s hammer.
