is it women or just my wife?

[cheapie]

first, i love my wife. she's awesome. she almost everything you could ask for. but.......

lately she's done a few "wtf are you thinking?" things

first, she called and had the garage door people come and give us an estimate. they came and said they'd replace the spring and could replace the door but didn't think it needed replacing. they thought it could be fixed. i was like :spock: i said, why would they think that? the front is rotting and falling apart. she said i don't know. i had the garage door up and they never saw the front. aaarrrrgghhhh!!! why have them do an estimate and not show them the bad part??? i didn't yell or anything. i never yell at her or call her stupid. i prolly just sounded amazed. she cried and said i didn't know what to do. :shrug: what can i say then?

i'm talking to her today about a screen door she just ordered for the slider out onto the deck.

her: i ordered it.......and they only had white.

me: huh? white? our doors are brown.

her: yeah, but anderson only made white for that year.

me: did you ask if any other brand would fit?

her: no. and i was afraid you might not like white.

me: can you call other stores and see about getting a brown one?

her: i already paid for it.

me: sigh....i guess we can just take it off in the fall.



and then the other day she calls me at work cuz she can't get the weed trimmer to start. (which is actually cool that she was trying and had just mowed the whole yard. :thumbup: ) i told her how to start it and she called back and couldn't start it. she tried to get me to explain why it wouldn't start. grrr....how do you explain it? anyhow...fast forward to today. i show her how to start it. it just took additional pulls. so it's running full speed and she is swinging it around in the garage completely oblivious to the fact that there's a bunch of plastic twine ready to tear the **** out of anything it touches. sure enough, she's busy looking at the choke on it and swings it into a desk she going to paint. bzzzz.....it ****ed it up. i was incredulous. i say LET GO OF THE TRIGGER AND WATCH OUT, not mad just loud enough to get her attention. she says, i don't know how these things work, i've never used it before. :splat: any, and i mean ANY guy in the world would know what the freakin' trigger is for and that you need to watch out for spinning strips of death. sigh....but i love her.

[nickel]

wait, just a minute, i'll read that in a bit cheapie. i am just finishing up a 2 pager your wife wrote about a bunch of "wtf are you thinking" things you have done lately. ;)

[cheapie]

heh heh. no worries. she's a far better person than i. she's generous, kind, honest, hard-working, loving, horny, content, etc. but..she's a woman so :shrug: what can i say. :cool:

[nickel]

well, if she is all of those then of course she is a woman :D

[cheapie]

gosh. i sure served that one up nicely didn't i?

[nickel]

yeh, thanks, that was exhilarating! :kiss:

[look_ma]

I have known dome females like that. their heart is in the right place, and they are giving 110%, and to them everything seems right. But to the outside word it is a "wtf were you thinking" thing. One thing with women is that you have to remember that they think on emotion, and men think on logic. Not to say that women cannot be logical, but emotion can override logic. A couple weeks back this happened to me, I was passed up on a promotion, and I completely freaking lost it. I just could not think strait, and what seemed logical then, is not logical now.

[avlena]

:shrug: i don't think not knowing how to use a weed trimmer is a trait of a woman, nor is knowing instantly how mechanical things work the trait of a man. I'm not mechanical in the slightest, but I'm rather adept at mowing the lawn, using a weed trimmer, etc. i'm guessing she never did lawn work, so hey, she's gonna be a bit confused. People who've never done laundry usually make the mistake of mixing colors, and coming out with pink socks. hey, what in the world were they thinking? must be a guy thing... except i've done it too.

to claim the woman messed up a desk with a weedwhacker because she's thinking emotionally is ridiculous. the desk got screwed up because she wasn't thinking, period. maybe she was too focused on something else (getting the screen door asap, what she was going to do after the estimators left, etc). everyone has their ditzy days, male and female alike, and your wife is apparently having hers. Besides, as nickel pointed out, i'm sure there's things that you do that makes her wonder what you're thinking.

Just another example of why women need constant supervision.

supervise me baby ;)

Cheapie should change his name to lazy

Here you are complaining about your wife for things you should be doing. I see this as things you should have done. BUt since you took so long to get off your ass to do it she decides to do it it herself.

And Cheapie thought I had it out for him :shrug:.

:boxing:

believe me, i appreciate the effort. she's a hard worker. i'm just sometimes amazed at the things that seem so obvious to me that she wouldn't even think of.

[nickel]

Youch. :gle:

And Cheapie thought I had it out for him :shrug:.
admitting that zen is the first step to your recovery :P

[ramazank2]

I am often guilty of the same laziness....

[nickel]

so we should change your name to lazy too? :shrug:

Man... you pretty much just summed up "MY" particular situation with that one.

I know not EVERYBODY falls into that stereotype... but dayuum, that cut very close to home. :eek:

[eSDee]

Cheapie, that's what you get for marrying a hottie. If you would have married a fugly bull-dike named Helen, you wouldn't have to worry about it :D

[revil]

what gets me is that your wife picks up a tool to trim weeds. it's a device that some how cuts by definition. so wouldn't you think she would have displayed more caution when first using it?

:stupid:

ahahaha...that's what i was thinking. she seemed to express surprise that there was something on the end that could hurt me and that she needed to let go to make it stop or at least point it in the other direction.

:) that's why i'm not too worried about it.

i think Helenka fits that stereotype more precisely :P

[Jeffbx]

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
so for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her then she starts
Doing the things that will break his heart
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
Then you will be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time
She'll always give you peace of mind

So if your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly her eyes don't match
Take it from me she's a better catch

Say kid YES
I saw your wife the other day UH HUH
And she's ugly
HA HA BUT SHE SURE CAN COOK

[mcs328]

:thumb: I think this thread is funny. It's like everything runs on magic and not batteries or what have you. Hopefully she'll be more knowledgable and in the process your angles don't become whacked off or die :dead: in the learning experience.

:censored:
it must be the company YOU keep....grrrr

[Merlin]

:censored:
it must be the company YOU keep....grrrr
Maybe so, but I've noticed that unsupervised women tend to run amok.

[oblongmelon]

and unsupervised men let:
1.the grass grow out of control
2. screen doors fix themselves
3. eat all the canned tuna because they are too lazy to cook their own damn dinners
4. let laundry pile up
5. must I go on....?

[Merlin]

Whadda ya mean. I do my laundry.

[revil]

1.the grass grow out of control
the grass isn't tall enough to cut yet.

2. screen doors fix themselves
they weren't broken in the first place.

3. eat all the canned tuna because they are too lazy to cook their own damn dinners
What are you talking about? i was feeding the cat...

4. let laundry pile up
Well, the 'not-quite-dirty' pile needs to be place somewhere.

5. must I go on....?
please.

[brainsmile]

you have a bad choice in women?
the scary thing is they are NOT women

[Merlin]

3. eat all the canned tuna because they are too lazy to cook their own damn dinners

Whaddaya mean? Tuna is good for you. And don't forget that we eat it right out of the can so as not to dirty another dish. Ah manly efficency! :thumb:

[donnar]

I was going to add to the sorta of male bashing but I ,ust say I have the most wonderful husband he works, helps with housework and watches kids what more could a wife ask for

Wow... we finally find a woman that CAN be "satisfied"...

Trust me... this is a "unique" quality. I'm sure your hubby is very happy. :D

Nope, not true at all.

A good friend of mine used to hum that song all of the time.

So he married one. He has been married for nearly 20 years. He is sooo miserable. He asked me if I wanted her.

I said: No way, Jose :bandit:

[Jeffbx]

Hahaha! I didn't follow that advice & things are working out great, so I really don't have a leg to stand on...

[Maarchk]

:dead:

that's about as new as my "girls rule, boys drool" t-shirt.


My shirt says, "Girls are no substitution for play station." :)

Perhaps a solution is middle ground. Instead of doing it all yourself, or leaving it to be done by the mrs. Maybe work it out together. I mean when my girlfriend reaches for a weapon of mass destruction (i.e. weed wacker or something that just looks like a bad day waiting to happen) I offer to help her or at least give her a quick demo of on, off and basic tips so i dont turn around and find her with only one leg. "its only a scratch, I'm fine..." Then next time they are feeling like doing something nice you are surprised and happy... Although my girl started changing the oil on my GTO, and i was like umm, no... "You may be my girl, but no one touches my baby." ;)

[Kenas]

diamonds. lots and lots of them. and maybe a caddy like obby got. and the hot pool boy that nickel wants.

does she have a pool or is he mainly for off shore purposes?

[nickel]

does she have a pool or is he mainly for off shore purposes?
yes :D

[Kenas]

yes :D

Hmm you’re a queen of ambiguous responses
