Phone, in handbag, on silent. What's the point? I only ever phone if it's something important or time critical. Never answers.
That could be why she doesn't answer. Problems. If she doesn't answer, the problem will probably be dealt with without involving her.Your example sounds like the classic Corporate IT Department strategy. Ignore the first request and the employee will usually sort it out themselves. It's only when its requested again that it's probably something they need to help with.
Mine is a very annoying hypochondriac. This is one thing I hate in a person. Yesterday the convo went like this:-
ME: Is the heating on, I'm freezing.
OH: Yeah I think it is. Oh you have just reminded me to put a washing on.
ME: How did I do that?
OH: Heating = hot water = washing on. See, if my mind was working properly I would have remembered.
ME: How is your mind not working properly?
OH: Well, you know with this sleep problem I'm having, it is causing me to become forgetful. I need to go and see about these things.
ME: We all forget to do things, doesn't mean we have to see a psychiatrist. Why don't you make a list?
OH: How can I remember to do the list?
ME: Do it first thing in the morning. I will remind you. Or set an alarm on your phone saying (for eg) washing on at 2:00 then when the alarm goes off check your to do list.
OH: How will I remember to set the alarm with the way my mind is?
ME: Set it at the same time as you write your to do list.
OH: What if I don't want to?
ME: THEN THAT IS YOUR F****ING CHOICE THEN ISN'T IT? There is nothing wrong with you that you can't solve.
I then left the house and went for a long walk. This is what I have to listen to day in day out - excuses for not doing things. AAAAARRRRGH.

burglar drawers.... occasionally effort is made to shut a drawer, however something was in the way so just stays hanging out, but more often than not they are just left wide open.
Why? 
I find it astounding that some women plunder their blokes' bank account etc etc.
if I knew why i'd not have listed it here!

Sounds like depression to me too.I don't know if anyone else's mrs does this but this one is really annoying me.
Has a thing about lamps rather than the proper lights. In the kitchen leaves the cooker light that is built into the extractor fan above the hobs on plus a lamp. If I walk in and turn the light on she gets really angry like I've just shone a laser pen in her eyes or something.

Have you ever actually done this?Ok, I've got one. 'Putting things in to soak'.
Only they're not, are they? They're sort of half in, or quarter in, and all jammed in so you have to pull them out dripping wet but 3/4 covered in baked on food. You can't dry them because they're not clean, you can't put them down because they're dripping wet and you can't put them in the sink because it's rammed full with 'things that have been put in to soak'!
I actually took a quick phone snap last night - look at the top one that's been 'put in to soak', it's not even touching the bloody water!
Also, washing up liquid comes with a little cap on it. Tht's because it is not single use! You can save some for the next time you wash up.
SQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRT!
Suds in the sink afterwards for days!
We do have a dishwasher also. A very handy device, you load a few dirty dishes in, then pull out whatever you need a day or two later, wash it by hand, use it and put it back in the machine. After a few days enough collateral has built up to 'send it off', but not till everything in it has been out, washed, used and reloaded at least twice!

Borrows my car while hers is off the road and smokes in it, she seriously thinks this is ok.
I'm fuming and an actually going to sell the car when I get it back.
If you're not a smoker, that would really piss me off too. I'm fuming and an actually going to sell the car when I get it back.
Keep the car, but get her to pay for it to be professionally valeted, and get rid of the wife!

I don't get why anyone smokes in a car or a house. I was a smoker for years but if I was in the car, I'd park up and have one outside. It's so hard to get rid of the stink.I'm fuming and an actually going to sell the car when I get it back.
