Some women think that any non manual work means you do f*** all, and under no circumstances could you be tired/stressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also stated by a lot of people who work with their hands. Seem to think management do nothing because they’re at a desk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Overly drawn out dream descriptions. A dream about meeting an old friend in the supermarket somehow becomes a novel-length description. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dream about meeting an old friend in the supermarket somehow becomes a novel-length description. Any sentence that starts "In my dream last night..." is 100% sure to be dull as dishwater. Quite why people think others will be interested in the completely random nonsense their brain comes up with while they're sleeping is anyone's guess. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC17 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I imagine a few can relate to this scenarioHer: “Can you nip to the shop and get me milk and eggs?”Me: “No worries. Is there anything else we need?”Her: “No, that’s it”Me (back with milk and eggs): “Here you go”Her: “Did you get tomatoes?”Me: “No. You didn’t ask for tomatoes”Her: “But we’re out of tomatoes, you must have realised that!”Me: “I asked if you needed anything else and you said no”Her: “But you would have walked past the tomatoes to get to the milk. Did you not think then that we might need tomatoes?”Me: “I wasn’t going shopping. I just went to buy 2 items, like you asked me to”Her: “I should have gone myself”Every time I go to to the shop to pick up some random bits."So we need milk, bread and washing powder. Anything else?""No.""You sure?""Yes."Return 20 minutes later."Aw I thought you might have got us some nice things for a snack tonight.""If you wanted me to get some nice snacks, you should have told me."She still doesn't tell me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have you up in the stirrups, induced and back home in about 20 minutes. Eta, oh aye, the baby, don't forget to take that with you. Next! In a similarly helpful vein, if anybody needs their roots tinted or wants to go blonde for Christmas (yes - that's actually a thing) I can help. Also got the inside track in how to deal with junkies who want a free hair do. You're welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Assumes that agreeing to football being on the telly gives her carte blanche to talk at me throughout. Decides to start shopping online for things for me that I don't need with 5 minutes to go against the Czechs last night. I was polite but tried to make it clear that a) I don't need that and b) FFS Scotland are clinging on for dear life here. Ends up with me in the bad books for not appreciating her efforts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Try the equivalent while Holby (or whatever your other half's preferred drivel) is on. Start asking whether the car needs its tyres upgraded or something. It won't teach her a lesson but should give you the satisfaction of annoying her back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
