I put the new dishwasher out there until it gets fitted
My wife saw it and said, it won't get wet will it, the roof was £6500

Good one from the GF. On her daughter's car the oil light had come on. Assuming the level had dropped a bit I suggested topping it up. She said she had but the light came on again after so she took it to her mechanic.
Later that week I asked what had happened with the car.
"Too much oil" she said.
"How much did you put in?"
"About 2.5l" she said
Apparently I made exactly the same
face as the mechanic did when she'd told him the same thing.
(for information it's only supposed to have 3.5l altogether)
Questions were then asked about the dipstick but it soon became apparent that she had no idea where/what it was and I refrained from suggesting I was talking to it.

Ex-wife did something similar but instead filled the oil tillnit brimmed from the filler neck then wondered why there was plooms of smoke when it eventually turned over ... took my exBIL (mechanic) ages to drain it all out lolLater that week I asked what had happened with the car.

Last week I was cleaning the seats of my car on the patio. It was going well enough 'er indoors said that I should use some interior fabric cleaner. She offered to pop down to the motorfactors and she picked up some Autoglym Interior stuff. BTW, a steam cleaner, the autoglym and a wet vac make a great job of cleaning up 30 year old seats.
Anyway as things are going great and she is of course now gloating that she’s wonderful and so full of common sense for thinking of getting the shampoo stuff. I, being married 12 years, of course agree.
Few minutes later the washing machine is finished and she is going out to the garden to hang up the washing. I point to a pair of old runners and advise her to put them on as the garden is wet and a bit mucky. “I’ll be ok” says she.
About a minute later there’s a string of curses as she has stood on dog poo.
I of course reminded her of how full of common sense she was to not wear my old runners out to the garden as she spent 10-15 mins cleaning her good and expensive shoes.
