I'm not in the same league as @red23 - the worst thing my wife will do is play crap music at me, not chop my bollocks off in my sleep and stuff them inside my cheeks to make me look like a squirrel. As a wee update on above - the wife's boss told her to take a Covid test. I nipped to Boots and picked up some LFT's for her and some for me. She has done hers and tested negative. I have done mine and will know in about 20 minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) She's just asked me "How do I start this"? Unlike her, I can't see through walls, and although I was pretty sure it was the tumble drier she was talking about I wasn't certain. I asked her 3 times and never got a reply. Turned out it was the tumble drier, I asked had she emptied the water and cleaned out the filter, "No, you never answered me". I answered 3 times, but she had turned it on and loaded up and started the washing machine so she never heard me. I have it sorted now.

Kind of related - mine can't go on any car journey of any length without either bringing juice or making us stop for a coffee. We are routinely late for stuff because I've had to sit in the tim hortons drive through on the way. The tins of Pepsi max get half drunk- because its normally a fucking ten minute journey- and left in my car. Why can you not just sit in the car for 30 mins without drinking something? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannae’ whack a nice bit of cake and a coffee… when you get to my age it’s one of life’s simple pleasures, usually accompanied by reminiscing about a midfield of Fitzpatrick, Stark and Richardson and the days when the Dundee Shimmy pelted the North Bank roof with half bricks. Give us auld farts a break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Kind of related - mine can't go on any car journey of any length without either bringing juice or making us stop for a coffee.

I think my partner physically cannot get into the car without a coffee. Fair enough pre-Covid, she would make a coffee and even if we were going round the shops she would drink it as we were walking. She makes one to drive to Aldi, which takes approximately 3 mins door to door. Obviously cannot drink it inside due to mask wearing, so it always goes to waste. And then moans at the amount of coffee we go through when it isn’t on offer and we end up paying £6 a tin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Going into Glasgow for a gig tonight , Mrs says she'll run me to the station . Tell her honestly it's alright as it's only 15 mins walk and will save her bundling all the kids into the car . No she insists she'll take me as she has to post her weekly covid test anyway . Ok despite an hour and a half notice we miss my proposed train before the kids are even in the car . No worries theres another one 13 minutes later. Finally we set off and she turns the opposite way from the station out of the estate . Apparently we have to go to the specific priority postbox that she uses every week which takes us well out our way and means I have to get the train at another station which now means we don't have time to get that one either . She diverts back to my original intended station but then pulls over to search for priority postboxes before dropping me off in a rage huffing that she'll just have to post it herself . End result , made my train by 20 seconds , however I could have already been scooping a nice cold pint if I'd just been allowed to walk . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure, more than sure, if you had said drop you first as the post box isn't going anywhere, you'd be in more bother than worth.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story short, you're partner's infuriating thing is getting you to the train on time. You don't know you're living mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct answer to this was that when they weren’t ready to leave at the required time for you to get your train, you left and walked the 15 mins to get it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 She threw a massive hissy fit earlier and fucked off out earlier, all because I refused to empty and defrost a fucking fridge at 8.45 on a Friday night. I don't know where she's went, and frankly I don't fucking care, as I've fucked off out in the car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Jumps to the most extreme outcome. The latest being that the (relatively new) shower is going between hot and cold this morning - "aw great, that'll be a new shower we need" then walks around moaning about it wondering how much a new shower will cost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fairly rational, mines would have me out buying a shower right away just incase that one caught fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her brain automatically goes to how things will cost to replace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
