JoseMarooniho Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 When imparting vital newsworthy shit (normally from Facebook) instead of distilling the highlights she reads the entire dreary article 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Buying the pack of eight Kellogg’s cereals.Number of issues...ExpensiveAlways a couple of ones that no one likes get left lying aroundClutterWe don’t have wee kids anymore which this is aimed at so a pack is no longer a portion.It does solve one issue though. Her inability to open cereal bags so that the end can be rolled up and stop the cereal losing crispness. Usually she tears it somehow which results in it being open to the air and ends up with cereal between the plastic and the cardboard.People that don't fold the bag back into the box to preserve crispness should be publicly executed imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone struggling with a partner who doesn't do this, float the idea that spiders like to hide in cereal boxes. I believe I saw something about that in the excellent 1990 documentary Arachnophobia. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me: “I bought your birthday last month already, you asked me for that perfume and those trainers.” Her: sits in silence all night sighing and sending me text messages with hotels. What did you think would happen when you bought her birthday presents two months in advance? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herself deals with blood, illness, needles, surgical procedures, and all the rest on a daily basis without fuss, yet the sight of a spider on the wall of the stairs of an evening reduces her to a state of panic. She'd actually sleep downstairs than go up to her bed if she'd to get past one of them. Pretty much everything she watches on The Netflix is about serial killers or murderers, but spiders are the real terror. As for getting her to watch Arachnophobia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine usually sits behind a desk shuffling papers before reading a news story and finishes by introducing someone else to do the weather. I'm married to Moira Stewart though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I feel like I've been in this thread a lot recently. I do love my other half (honest) but she can be a pain in the arse sometimes.Anyway, we moved in together roughly this time 2 years ago and pretty much straight away she wanted to put the Christmas decorations up. We "compromised" and they ended up going up the first weekend in December. Last year they went up a bit earlier (not my choice) around the last week of November.Last night I went upstairs to play Fifa for a couple of hours. I've come downstairs to be met with Christmas decorations all over the place. Get into the living room and the tree etc. is lying out in preparation for going up this weekend. Apparently its acceptable to put the decorations up just now as there's a pandemic going on - as if that has fucking anything to do with anything. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 This is our 3rd Christmas living together. The first 2 years the tree was up by the last week in November. This year she’s gonna be in for a shock when she realises I put the decorations at my mum and dads when we cleared out the back cupboard and forgot to collect them. 1st December will do us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I don't see anything wrong with that logic. Maybe I've been married too long...My counter argument was that we can't have visitors so there's no point in decorations since no one will see them.Fell on deaf ears and I'll be left hoovering up bits of glitter until June. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bernardblack Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I got the exercise bike out and ready in the living room last night, in preparation for a workout before work.Had the worst sleep so ignored the alarm and thought to myself I’d workout at lunch instead. This morning: “Are you moving that bike?”“Nah I’m just going to use it at lunchtime”“I’d rather you moved it incase the neighbours saw it sat there”Aye I’m sure we’d be the talk of the street for having an exercise bike set up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
