I love my wife and all, but Jesus Hercules Christ...

Wife spelled 'brakes' as 'breaks' in a text message. WTF.

I've seen "pedal" spelled as "peddle" in Sprockets multiple times, by dudes.

Our thermostat crapped out on Monday while I was at work and wasn't going to be home for hours. She acquired the correct replacement unit and successfully installed it by herself before I got home. I'm perfectly happy ignoring improper use of homophones.

I came home last week to find some new fancy electronic lock installed with keypad and fingerprint reader. Moved to the back patio were bluetooth speakers magically appeared in the ceiling complete with mini-receiver/amplifier and properly concealed wiring.
All that stuff was done impeccably well without any input, $$, or help from me.

I HAD to find something to complain about so I got annoyed at the fingerprint reader (always have trashed skin from climbing) and I grumbled that the waterproof box housing the receiver was a bit too close to the dryer vent for my taste (completely arbitrary). Then I remembered that Ms Boissal was about 100 miles behind on taking her truck in for maintenance and she hasn't dealt with her slowly leaking tire. Which I've had to pump TWICE so far. That compressor doesn't take itself out of the garage on its own!

Wife has replaced thermostats too, replaces wall mounted lights, maintains her car, buys her own cars and bikes with no input, does all plumbing and irrigation work and more.

I'm filing for divorce tomorrow though.

I had to ask, it was killing me. so I brought it up tonight. It was an autocorrect mistake, our marriage is saved. And she mentioned she should have checked too.

And for you PC people, the text was about a dump truck who lost its brakes going down Empire and crashed near the roundabout at the bus station. It plowed into 2 cars and hit the retaining wall on the other side. Everyone went to the hospital in stable condition. She was nearby and heard an loud impact and then the power went out. Scary shit. Driver was laying on the horn for a long time before the crash..

Doubtful. If he went to university of chicago, he should be able to spell.

My wife wrote "Motercycle" on the box containing my motorcycle gear. I thought it was cute.

Awww. Do you also pat her on the head?
My wife has all kinds of ways to write yogurt ( but the German word is more complicated so that's not totally outrageous) on our groceries list.

Except the right one.

Totally unrelated story. I had my motorcycle gear in a box labeled motorcycle. My dad was helping me move and when he picked up said box he asked if I had the whole motorcycle in there. It was funny. RIP dad.

You finally figured out she's a dood.

I guess I could end the thread with that one.

Working from home I get to overhear the wifey complain about her computer issues.

She leaves her work computer on 100% of the time. We go on vacation for a week, computer stays on.

I suggest “maybe try restarting it at least once a week” - not that I know dick about computers but I do this regularly and have zero issues.

She gets defensive of course.

The whole “just listen to my problems and try to empathize instead of trying to fix problems” part of marriage is tough.

Well if you have windows, ya, reboot often. I try to go as long as possible on my Linux work laptop. A long uptime is a point of pride. Of course frequent patch releases puts a dent in that. Seems like every other week they roll out a patched kernel.

[Supermoon]

Why? Is this some level of computer nerdery I haven’t descended to yet?
