Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
Asked my missus an aritmetic question set for eight year olds.
Susie goes to the beach and buys a swimsuit and sunglasses that cost a total of £110, the swimsuit costs £100 more than the sunglasses, how much did the sunglasses cost?
Her response was that it was a trick question because you should not be wearing £10 sunglasses with a £100 swimsuit and anyway it should be in euros because no one would wear a good swimsuit to an english beach.
Just wrong on so many levels.

Actually I think your wife is spot on.Susie goes to the beach and buys a swimsuit and sunglasses that cost a total of £110, the swimsuit costs £100 more than the sunglasses, how much did the sunglasses cost?

it's £5 though and she said £10, did you try to explain it to her or did you want to avoid an apocolypse?
It's not £5 though, if John went to the beach, that would be right but women's arithmetic is not the same as men's.If Susie says she spent £110 on her shopping trip, I can guarantee she actually spent at least £300.

Quite how the two of you make the leap from what was said to what you have surmised says rather more about you than Chemical Chaos. f
king idiots.
I'm with you on this one. Any slightly stupid thing said by another is good for this thread - I don't think you really have to be in a relationship with that personking idiots. matrignano said:

What am I missing here, the sunglasses cost £10 surely???The sunglasses cost her £5 and the swimsuit £100 more i.e. £105. Total cost £110
Unless it was my wife, '£100 swimsuit, bargain, better buy 2 then sunglasses at £100, thats £300 . Oh I've not got enough cash, I'll use hubbies credit card and I can spend my £110 cash somewhere else.'

A mate's missus worked at a local Subway food place until recently. A bloke came in and asked if they did Apple Pay.
"Sorry, we don't do puddings" she replied.
That is brilliant. "Sorry, we don't do puddings" she replied.

I'm working away from home, and regularly ask the Mrs to check what post has arrived.
"You got a Butlins catalogue" she said.
After wondering how the hell Butlins got me onto their mailing list, she sent me a picture to clarify

What the hell kind of holiday did she think you had in mind - based upon the image on the cover?!Steamer said:
What the hell kind of holiday did she think you had in mind - based upon the image on the cover?!We just had this conversation regarding her mobile contract:
Me: "There were some good deal on virgin mobile for Sim only"
Her: "How do I find those?"
Me: "Just google 'Virgin Mobile Sim Only'.
Her: "What, on google?"
You see what I have to put up with!
Mrs 2CV recently gave birth to our amazing daughter, but the wonder of fatherhood aside, apparently women lose 20% of the brain cells during pregnancy. 'Baby brain' is a real thing. Mrs 2CV is a thread regular already though.... i now have several classics examples daily, but as i've been a bit busy i have not been writing them down. Will try and capture more. One from today was having to explain to her how the heating thermostat works, as she had forgotten. She has lived here for 6 years. She looked completely done in with the concepts of "current room temperature" versus "temperature you want it to be".

Did you have the "turning the thermostat to a temperature much higher than you want - won't make the house heat up any quicker" conversation too - or would that be a step too far Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
