Classic from the Mrs!
Discussion
My Mother just called me, she's been in the charity shop and bought herself some trainers, she's got them home and called me horrified that the charity shop has sold her a pair of trainers with 'f
k' written down the side.
When I could squeak a word out through my tears of laughter I explained she'd bought fk trainers. She took some convincing but said either way she hoped her trousers covered the logo.
She's 78. I don't know whether to be more worried about her reading it wrong or about her wearing fk trainers.

k.I personally agree, and I don't own anything by that brand (then again my wardrobe tends to consist mostly of Metallica T Shirts and skinny jeans so I'm hardly a follower of fashion) but it amuses me greatly that my Mother does, and misread it.

Much mirth in the household just now.
Our dog loves her daily walks but will not go our if it's raining. However, being stuck indoors, she's running around squeaking her toys and generally demanding attention.
OH "I think she's getting a bit stir fried"
Tell her to wok the dog.Our dog loves her daily walks but will not go our if it's raining. However, being stuck indoors, she's running around squeaking her toys and generally demanding attention.

Actions not so much words this time.
For a while I've been meaning to fix the sash lock on the outsider front door.she's been complaining she doesn't feel safe because if it wasn't locked and you kicked it hard enough it would open.( not once thinking that if it wasn't locked they could just use the handle anyway)
So on thursday I fixed it.
All day today I keep hearing bangs then swearing or expressions of pain from all three females in the house.
The mrs told me tonight she wants it back how it was because they all got used to kicking or shoulder barging he door and she keeps forgetting to use the handle
The mind boggles not once have I kicked the door to open it I still used the handle.
It's not as if it needed a gentle push it needed a hefty blow which is why I never got around to fixing it. And they wonder why they break everything.

Haha - reminds me of someone I know who has recently moved house.For a while I've been meaning to fix the sash lock on the outsider front door.she's been complaining she doesn't feel safe because if it wasn't locked and you kicked it hard enough it would open.( not once thinking that if it wasn't locked they could just use the handle anyway)

She nagged her husband for days to fit the yale latch they had bought for the house (up until that point the door only had a mortice dead lock). The day after he fitted it - she pulled the door to, behind her (something she had got used to doing before the catch was fitted) - resulting in her being locked out.
Of course as soon as he got home he was ordered to remove it. It wasn't even on the door 24 hours
Not something specific - but more a general comment.
My wife has a habit of continually asking questions right through a movie (even though she knows I haven't seen it). These questions usually take two forms:
a) The pre-emptive question ("what's he going to do", "whats going to happen").
These kind of questions are usually asked right before the point in the movie where the question is actually answered. As a result of asking the question however - the answer is usually missed - which then leads to point b.
b) The reactive question ("what did he just say", "why did he do that")
These questions are usually asked right after the point in the movie where the question was answered - and are usually asked because the part of the movie dialog that should have answered the question was obscured by asking a pre-emptive question.
Rinse and repeat for 2 hours
Sound familiar to anyone?

The cooking of our evening meal is timed to coincide with her favourite game show, 'Tipping Point'. Tokens clatter into the 'Win Zone' and the presenter announces the number of tokens that fell.Rinse and repeat for 2 hours
Sound familiar to anyone?
If she's got her back to the telly She asks "how many did they get?" at the same moment, talking over the presenter, over and over again, and it doesn't matter how often I say "I don't know, I couldn't hear for you talking".
If, however I turn the telly up, I'm suddenly 'ignorant' for having the telly too loud.

Whoever thought a TV show based on a dumb arcade game was a good idea should be slapped
Amen to that Whoever thought a TV show based on a dumb arcade game was a good idea should be slapped
However, anything that stimulates the brain of a Multiple Sclerosis victim with advancing cognitive problems is good news, plus they ask the same inane quiz questions on "The Chase" a couple of days later, so she feels good when she gets the answers right.
