    I guess the point is that she was really hurting with them buckled up and is way happier with them loose. Her boots are pretty old too, so don’t really have much of a range of motion.

    I did buy her new boots this year but she won’t use them because they hurt. She won’t take the time to get them punched either. So she uses her old heavy POS ones still. There is only so much a man can do! ;-).

    S o, wifey and I had a stupid argument (as I am laid up).
    She insists that if you cut a muffin to heat it up, you do it vertically, and just put it in the toaster oven.
    I say this in nonsense, you cut it horizontally, and split both sides so that the whole thing gets hot/browned (and then you can add your butter onto a flat surface).
    I asked her ‘well, how do you cut and heat a bagel?’
    To which she replied,
    “A muffin isn’t a bagel”.

    And this woman has an engineering degree.

    a) who cuts a muffin in two, just eat the damn muffin!
    b) I'm at a loss to understand what you're talking about or why it's so obvious that a muffin should be cut along one axis or the other

    she ^^ is right and its not really a good point to argue cuz a bagel is shaped so much like a piece of toast, but If you are laid up I would just let her toast it any way she wants so long as she does it and serves you

    I see the GF do all kinds of things different some good some bad some not like I would

    I let it all slide except if something is really bad/dangerous/will cost extra $

    You, good sir, clearly don’t have an ‘engineering’ degree.
    It’s to melt the butter.

    Yeah, pretty much. But she knows she is a terrible nurse, she calls herself “Nurse Ratchet”.

    I'm POSITIVE this argument was just an attempt to get some make up sex.

    Your wife is too smart not to see through this, n00B.

If was her 5th day out and she had trashed her feet on every outing. She was one click away from buying a pair of Hojis when I asked what the boot-fitter had to say about the issue. That distracted her enough that the Hojis were not purchased but she eventually admitted that in the "entire afternoon" she had spent at the boot fitter she basically just had the liner cooked. She threw a pair of superfeet in the boots when she got home and was irate that things weren't working perfectly.
    I had to drag her to the boot-fitter and the whole drive listened to her complain that the boots would never work. Dude took one look at the shell, one look at her feet, made her a footbed, punched the shell twice, and added a ton of foam around her skinny ankles. I haven't heard any further complaints about the boots. At some point she may even acknowledge that my suggestion was correct but I'm not holding my breath...

    You have a better chance of sleeping on the couch than you do getting an acknowledgement. A good bootfitter is gold, the work magic. I got two further seasons out if some trashed boots by getting them punched some more and new footbeds. And then I bought new boots from the same guy. Magic. I might need to go back next season for some heel/ankle foam.

    Literally LOLed

    Costco--The aforementioned dumbasses without memberships, and they are super serious about loss prevention. Same reason you have to show your receipt on the way out the door.

    They wanted to check my tool bag and i got into a beef with them about it

    which is why they now display the sign that sez they reserve the right to check your bag

    I worked at a food bank/soup kitchen for a couple of years. Costco was far and away the largest donator of food. Every day they gave us tons of stuff.

    I snuck in once to buy a girl one of those massive floating pink flamingos. Easier than expected, harder than it should have been to go buy crap from a store, like seriously some kind of cult in there.
    The whole human race is de evolving; it is due to birth control, smart people use birth control, and stupid people keep pooping out more stupid babies.

    probably cheaper than paying the extra tipping fees on the dumpster

    refusing to be searched turned out to be a real issue with their people talking to my people, all the lawyers talkign to everyone yada fucking yada double billing , a week later my manager sits me down and said " ok you were right, but do you want to do business ? "

    to which I replied " Yeah I know I was right and what I want is respect " from a career standpoint pretty fucking stupid eh but I had enough and so that is why you see the caveat on the side of the costco building

    Here is your problem. Don't do that. Buying quasi-necessities that are personal and leaving yourself open to have her tell you repeatedly they suck is on you. That is what salesmen are for. This is part of marriage 101.
