Shit your wife does that MAKES YOU INSANE - Page 15

Frazod · 03:55 PM

The first week of December, I finished my Christmas shopping. One of the gifts was a Best Buy gift card for the brother-in-law. I put it in a spot in the kitchen where it wouldn't get lost. So, I went to wrap it tonight, and GUESS WHAT - it's gone.

I didn't touch the ****ing thing. But, like every other goddamn thing that dissappears around here, the wife HAS NO IDEA WHERE IT IS AND NEVER TOUCHED IT. Just like every other damn thing that she swears she never saw or touched that I find in some maddeningly stupid-assed place that only she would put it, anywhere from a week to a year later, and always when I'm looking for something else that magically vanished in the same manner. "Wasn't me, honey. Must have been you. And why do you always blame me?"

BECAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS THE ONE WHO ****ING LOSES THINGS!

And then, when I clearly bust her on it, she still denies it. Never an apology. Never an "I was wrong." Just I DIDN'T DO IT.

Well, I don't have a week to a year to wait for this to turn up, so I'll have to go back out at the height of last-minute-rush Christmas shopping hell and replace it (I'd make her do it, but she doesn't drive). I'M SO ****ING PISSED OFF I CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT. More money flying out of my wallet after a month that has already seen me melt my friggin credit cards into goo.

WHY DOES SHE DO THIS? WHY WHY WHY

If it weren't for that furry thing they have there would be a bounty on them.

I hope whoever designed that piece of shit is roasting on a spit in hell right now.

Been there, done that. I avoid downtown like the plague whenever possible and prefer to drive a few extra miles and pay the extra tolls to go around when I pick up or deliver in Chi-town. BTW, who came up with the brilliant idea to put a friggin toll booth every 500 feet on 290, 390 and 88? It's like I finally get my 40 ton behemoth back up to speed and there is a sign that says "Toll plaza 1 mile". To pay a 1.50 toll. I am willing to bet I have to stop at no less than 10 toll booths to get from Gary, IN to Rochelle. And to top it all off, the toll roads are in worse condition than 294 EVER was. I would like to know what they are doing with all that money they collect. AH, well, at least I can avoid driving 0.5 mph for ages by taking the outer roads.

Well, stand by, because on January 1st the tolls are going up on all Chicago area tollways for all non-IPass users. You might want to check into it.

GREEDY BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I shouldn't complain (as long as they actually use the additional funds to repair those screwed up roads). OH, NY, NJ and PA charge one HELLUVA lot more than practically any other states in the US for their toll roads. They charge by weight so I get to pay about 40 dollars to cross Ohio, PA is about 90, Jersey is insane for the length you drive and don't get me started on NY. Bastards charge 50 dollars to cross the George Washington Bridge....into the friggin BRONX.

I actually think most for the funds are going to put in more IPass lanes....

As for the other tolls, damn, that's harsh. I never thought about how much more truckers have to pay.

And when it comes to the Bronx, they should let you in for free, and charge you to get out.

I'd pay double to get out. Visualize a gigantic dumpster with cars double parked on it. Welcome to the Bronx.

The two worst things I have noticed from every woman I have ever dated and/or married:

1. They will never be on time. Time is a foreign concept to all women.

2. They cannot answer a "yes or no" question with a simple yes or no.

My wife does pretty will with the yes or no. Now the time thing is a different matter. When she sets a time she means ish. You now like 6ish. which means any where from 6:05 to 6:45.

What I have learned to do is adjust my time I say 5:30 but I mean 6:00 and we usually arrive on time.

Until they catch on and start adapting their time clock as well.

That's the opposite of my wife... time she's good with (growing up with a mother who was incapable of being on time), but she's never uttered the words "yes" or "no" without qualifying them.

Telling me where to turn when we are going places we have been 1000 times, screwing with the window temperature when ive got it set up so it wont fog up, as soon as she does the window fogs up and i cant see the road then she gets mad because i cant see the road. She was almost walking!

Me: What do you feel like?

Her: Oh, whatever. I don't care.

Me: Well I heard (insert whatever dish here) was good.

Her: Ok.

*skip 20 minutes. She eats like 1/8th of her meal and pushes the plate away.*

Me: What's wrong?

Her: I already ate here twice this week, when we went to luch at work. I'm just kind of tired of chinese.

Me: WTF didn't you tell me that before we came here then?!?

Her: I don't know. You wanted to eat here.

Me: But if you're not going to eat the $3it what's the point?!? We could have gone somewhere else.

Her: Yeah.

Me: But if you know you're not going to eat it why....****!

Don't have a wife, but I have a girlfriend, and this shit happens every now and then. I'm getting to a point where I'm going to have a long talk with her about this, that if I am going to pay for it, you might as well either tell me where the hell you want to eat, or eat the whole damn thing.
