That looks exactly like my bathroom wall before I covered it in tile.

I love my wife and all, but Jesus Hercules Christ...
My girlfriend can’t seem to go shopping without looking at everything. If we’re getting more than three things, we hit every aisle. Beware any “quick trip to the store” with her.
She’s equally annoyed by my apparently random and “inefficient” zigzag approach.
In other news, she doesn’t love my attention to detail, so prefers it if I just let her paint the walls. I don’t not try and I think I do a fine job…. But apparently I set the level at just the right point to earn a preference without actual scorn or frustration.
I hate painting.focus.

My wife: instead of us both going into town for errands let’s go together and that way it will be more efficient…
Narrator: it never ever is

Being a shitty painter is a great way to avoid getting asked to paint things.
I can do 20/20 exterior painting, but that's about it--looks good from 20 feet or when going by at 20 MPH.
On the other hand, my wife is generally a better painter (ie three finish looks good even up close) but dislikes bothering with painter's tape or other finicky steps. I make an effort to stay enough ahead that I can at least take switch and outlet covers off, but the outlets still end up with paint.

My wife likes to run errands together and then complain that she doesn't get time to do her own stuff later. Yup, I could've taken the kid with me to the dump and you'd have gotten half an hour, but you wanted to come along and then go the long way home.
Curbside grocery pickup has also been one of the positives coming from the pandemic for me. Her grocery lists usually lack quantity or other specifics, plus she has eight things in her head that she didn't bother to write down. Ordering online means we actually get to sit down and make a proper list, I can easily look at unit price and usually ingredients to figure out what to buy, and we don't end up with a bunch of extra stuff that seemed like a good idea at the time.
It is, of course, my fault when she decides the day after grocery shopping that she wanted item X that we didn't put on the list.

I'm a big proponent of the efficiency argument. Why shop together when either one of us could get it done and the other can do something useful. Usually works out pretty well

People here saying that I can volunteer to take over her errands - like I can just go pick out the exact produce she wants and get the exact type of flour she is thinking of - or come up with good alternatives if the item isn’t available
Or I could get her to run my errands but then it will be a discussion about why we need the things on my list

Because they don’t allow for the accumulation of junk like a vanity cabinet

Just returned from a 2 day bachelor party in Manhattan. Wife already texted me twice during the trip asking about strippers, I changed the subject.
Now I’m home just waiting for her to ask me. Kind of nervous.
And obviously yes, there were strippers, and no,I won’t lie, but I’ll tweak the narrative. “I was just following the group, wasn’t my idea….yada yada yada”
Wish me luck.
