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

[MontuckyFried]

Yea-yea, she sounds great and all but can she load a dishwasher?

Actually, that's one of her talents for sure so credit where credits due. She can Tetris those dishes in way better than I ever could. She's a domestic goddess.

Or properly adjust the car ac? I DOUBT IT!

NOPE!!! How did you know?! I think this is a universal truth with women. Doesn't matter that all of our cars have automatic climate control and they all work supremely well, ie set a temp and forget it. But nope! She treats it like her old Escort from high school. Just turns that temp all the way down and puts the fan on full blast. Same for the heat. That's one thing I'll never understand. Hahaha.

Is that a cap or a bleed resistor? Plenty of online options as mentioned

This one I more amusing than JHC, but my wife went over to my sister in law's house yesterday to pressure wash her fence. She had to return home with my SIL's entire hose still connected to the pressure washer because neither of them were able to disconnect the hose. As much as women try to tell us we're useless, we still seem to come in handy from time to time.

[Core Shot]

^^^^lol.

They just turned the hose and turned it some more but it wouldn’t unscrew!

Somehow they forgot that when they attached the hose they turned the collar on the pressure washer. Classic!

They remember shot we did twenty years ago but can’t remember what they did an hour ago

[The AD]

Oh, I think they knew the principle behind removing the hose, they just couldn't turn the collar. Granted both of them have terrible grip strength from a life of using their hands (they're both court reporters).

Speaking twisting screws type fasteners, anyone else have to deal with condiments and other food containers that never are returned to their place with their lid fastened? She got me again this morning, as I went to give the old Franks hot sauce a shake before applying to my breaky eggs. Hot sauce all over me, the table, and wall. None on the egg.
I could go to the fridge right now and find most jars with lids just sitting on top, no screw engaged. I lost most of a jar of pickles recently, picked it up by the lid, the lid was on just enough for the jar to clear the fridge shelf before said lid disengaged from the jar. Pickles and vinegar all over the floor. One day I will learn to always check, can't make the assumption that I was the last to tighten the lid.

I feel your pain, but that also reinforces why my dad drilled two rules about lids into me:
a. always close it properly and fully, neither cross-threading nor failing to properly snug it, as either can present a hazard for the next person to pick up the container
b. always assume the previous person to use a container never learned (a) until proven otherwise

My wife thinks I inherited his OCD. I'd counter that more of his standards for doing things right actually make sense, even if I may not have agreed at 12.

Apparently I was the last one to use the salt, or I'd post a photo of a lid that is both cross threaded and loose.

The amount of times I've shaken almond milk all over the kitchen due to a half-on-half-off lid makes me think that I'm the stupid one. Shit drives me crazy.

Wife also can't comprehend that a bottle of condiment designed to have the lid side down will explode said condiment everywhere if you open it after it has warmed up a bit from being in the fridge. You either open it right away or turn it the other way so the contents aren't a pressurized cannon waiting to go off. Oh, and you've made a total mess of the lid? Yeah just close it and put it back - I'll clean it all up later.

Always love the coffee filled trash bins with a handle. 90% of coffee mugs have one or more pieces of trash in them, and of course just enough coffee left inside to make a mess.

my wife will do the laundry, fold the clothes, but refuses to put them away. just how she rolls. so normally i do the dishes, handle kitchen stuff... division of labor and so forth. do you think she'd find it strange if i stacked all of the silverware/etc on the kitchen counter instead of putting everything away? why does she do that with the laundry?

Because she wouldn't find it weird that you just stacked all the clean dishes on the counter. At least mine doesn't when she "empties" the dishwasher and apparently that is a theme here.

That's my house, and can use both the hot sauce and pickles as examples as well.

As I'm sitting in my Chacos..."Hey, go put some shoes on and we'll take the dogs for a walk". I think Chacos will work but apparently we are going for a few miles so I need shoes. I get my shoes on. We get about a half mile from the house. "Hey, let's let the dogs swim and then go home and make a cocktail". Okay. "Hey, why aren't you helping with the dogs?" as she wades out in the water in her old gardening shoes as I stand on the shore in my new one day old running shoes. "I really could have used some help with the dogs in the pond" as I'm mixing a double.

I typically spend 10-15 minutes on Monday night breaking down boxes. Have to fish a few out of the big recycling bin first, typically the largest ones. They're jammed in there as to occupy as much space as possible and usually only a couple will fit. House of cards is then built on top of the can with the other 75 boxes coming from Lord Bezos.
I got out there with the box cutter and get after it. Usually once I'm done the can is about 1/3 full but I keep hearing it's way too small...

Here’s my version:

I do the laundry for the house...fold the clothes...put her clothes on her dresser....and she basically never puts them into the drawers...she just lives out of the piles. After a trip, those clothes in her bag don’t see the light of day until I have to dump them all into the laundry....and the circle of madness continues.

Gotta love em’

[Elkhound Odin]

If I let my wife put my clothes away, they would be in the wrong location. Better for her to leave them out. I have a system.
