Not my wife, but when I was a teenager my mum said to me:-
"The trouble with you is your driving's too erotic"
I once gave my mother a lift to the doctor, and as we were coming home I was trying to emerge from a busy junction. Seeing a gap that would just be big enough if I was really quick, I floored it and let the DSC sort it out."The trouble with you is your driving's too erotic"
Mother was silent for a few seconds, then turned to me and said, "It always makes me uncomfortable when you drive like your brother."
I did some sawing in the house at the weekend so I used the dustpan and brush from the kitchen cupboard and then wiped the area over.
Yesterday, I'm doing something and SWMBO stands there with aforesaid pan and bush:
Did you use this yesterday?
Yes ..[explained as above]
But it's all covered in dust now!

My wife of 22 years made me coffee yesterday and put sugar in it. I stopped taking sugar before I met her.
Bet her new boyfriend does. My BiL died not too long ago, and my sister gave my father a few of his CD's that he'd earmarked for my dad to have once he'd gone. My sister said that 'there's some good CD's in there, oh, and a few by some bloke called B.B King.' On seeing my face she said that she'd never heard of him so he can't be that big a deal. Obviously 15 grammy's and a 60 year career that resulted in the nickname 'King of the Blues' isn't that big a deal...
My sister is someone who will get 85% of questions on University Challenge correct, has 2 degrees(not that that means too much these days)and crucially, as a teenager, spent every weekend going to gigs and lecturing the rest of the family about music of all varieties. She even lived in one of Rick Wakeman's houses for a while as she was friends with his daughter.
I now await some pedant to point out that they too have never heard of B.B King and therefore he is no big deal.

I could cope with my wife not knowing who B.B. King was. But the day she starts putting apostrophes in plurals, then I'll know she's losing the plot.My sister is someone who will get 85% of questions on University Challenge correct, has 2 degrees(not that that means too much these days)and crucially, as a teenager, spent every weekend going to gigs and lecturing the rest of the family about music of all varieties.

Yep, obviously I wasn't as awake as I thought this morning when I wrote that post! I even put a grammatically incorrect meme into another thread. I shall go and find a length of birch and administer a reminder to myself to check before posting!
She is ironing, tells me the iron has stopped, so she tried plugging it into an extension cable from the same ringmain,
I asked did you try just plugging it in without the extension?
but it wont reach the board then.............
it was a fuse on the plug, no amount of extensions was going to fix that.

We got home this morning and she wanted something out of the garage, so wandered off with my keys as obviously she never takes her keys when we both go out. Some time later I ask where my keys are...she has no idea but apparently it's my fault as she must have given them to me as she wasn't wearing anything with pockets.
Eventually found in her coat pocket
