Yep, mine will do that in the cinema. Often asking the question at the point of the reveal, making us both miss it.

Shut up and watch the fking film!!

And the other irritating thing is when you make a phone call and you get five choices to continue, so you select a number, and get another five choices, (it's always the last bloody one you want), finally you get to the last choice of five numbers, she starts realing off the five choices, when the OH pipes up "Do you want a cup of tea"..... ... and you miss those crucial last few choices......

A little O/T, but I just managed to convince MrsVX that vulcanised rubber is so-called because the process leaves lots of little peaks in the surface, like Mr Stocks ears...

...this follows on from convincing her that Nissan Skylines were named after Nissen huts, just by saying that if you looked at the car in a certain way it looked just like the buildings

I adore her!

One from my mother tonight. As she left the house, walking to the car, the security lights went on. Mother, sounding surprised: "are they electric?"

[ColdoRS]

Looking at a new car having sold my RS4 to fund a house move.

Put an X-Type Estate on the screen for her to pass comment on...

H: Eww no, looks like a hursT!
M: What?
H: Looks like a hursT! Bloody funeral car!
M: A what...
H: A hursT!?
M: Spell that for me?
H: 'H...U...R...S...T'!!?
M: Get out.

How come I only fail to notice my auto-correct related mistakes when I'm taking the P out of someone?

I've detected a theme in some of my wife's output:
When an unmarked letter arrives - "who's that from?"
When the phone or doorbell rings - "Who's that?"
When I've started eating first and she has a forkful half way to her mouth - "how is it?"

They are all the same. When I walk out the front room door in my slippers to go upstairs, she invariably says "Where are you going"

This is one of those "they all do that sir" moments.

I can be watching a TV programme with my Mrs - one which neither of us have ever seen before & she'll ask "so who's that then?" or "why is he locked in that room?".

How I'm supposed to know when we've both watched exactly the same thing is beyond me

Yep, this morning I was registering a payment card online. She walks up to me and says 'Have you not registered that yet?'. I ignore her and she says 'Why are you grumpy'. Women!

And she also does the TV thing above!

Mrs has been having trouble sleeping so purchased some sleeping pills.
Sadly they only work "spasmatically".

Just changed jobs and now sharing an office with 4 women of differing ages. So far we've had Hurst, Pacific, Delicatessant and Peddle Stool.

My (beautiful, wonderful) wife can't seem to answer a question I've asked without a follow up "why?".

I realise that some questions can lead to intrigue as to why I am asking, but most not, for example:

Me: 'What time do we need to leave tonight?'
Her: 'Half seven. Why?'

Me: 'Is it raining outside?'
Her: 'Yes. Why?'

Exasperating and slightly odd.

"do you remember what time James and Kate said they'd arrive?"
"yes, why?"

Talking about a particular friend, she says he is meticulant.

She says she is going to get the car out of the garage and will reverse backwards.

Pronounces yoghurt and Toyota like yowwwgurt and Toyowwwta.

Drives me nuts like Macedonia

My Mother drives me mental bless her!

Every time I leave after a visit we say goodbye, I walk around the front of the bungalow to my car then she calls me to come back. I go back and she asks me if I've got everything. Yes Mum, wallet, keys, phone. Okay she says. Every single time. I just walk round the corner and stop now, then wait for her to call me back!

That sounds like such a plausible word: So much so I Googled it to check. Sadly it isn't.

It does sound so plausible. A meticulant: someone that is meticulous.

You guys gave her more credit than i did, i just thought she was daft.

I was explaining to my partner that her dad's new car was four wheel drive when she said to me: 'Whats mine, is it a no wheel drive?'

I honestly don't know what she was thinking...

[Mothersruin]

Out shopping for dinning room chairs last week.

Wander around town looking in various shops with no joy.

We're walking back to the car and she looks through a window and excitedly says that this place has a great range and we should have a look.

'It's a cafe dear...'

'er indoors often suggests that I could make a bit of pocket money sorting computers for other people, but that's not my scene, I'd rather do it for fun.
Yesterday Microsoft released Windows 10 for her Lumia phone, and Jen asked me to install it for her. It all went pretty well, took a couple of hours, it's not something you can just run overnight, it beeps an nags for input a few times, but all looked fine when it finished.
Then came time to set it up for her. It needs a Microsoft password to unlock some really handy features. I eventually discovered that she has previously set her MS email to:
[e-mail]
and the ONLY way to change it was a full factory reset of the phone, and start again.
Several hours later she has a functioning phone,
wanna ask me again whether I want a job sorting computers, darling?
