Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
Today the Mrs said she was about to order a new head for the Henri Hoover as it wasn’t picking up as well as it used to. She said there were two sizes and she told me that I must stop work and go and measure the diameter.
She showed me the picture of the part.
I pointed out that the one she was looking at was not correct as ours has a spinning blade to pick up debris and she should check it isn’t tangled with hair.
She then got angry and told me that ours did not have a spinning blade, I explained I had cleaned it a few times and showed the cleaner how so I knew it did, she refused to believe me, left the office and went home to check. Ages later she returned and said it did have a spinning blade.
I just said, I thought she might have remembered that she had once cleaned it too….and so started the tirade on just how smug I was etc…?
Tonight I stripped the spinning blade, removed lots of debris and lubricated the bearings….did a demo of how it worked…silence from her.

How do their little grey cells work.
Helping er’ in doors put a fitted sheet over the bed mattress, and the sheet is quite big.
She says “Oh not that one it’s too big”
I said “Well if you can’t use it, throw it away”.
She says “Oh no, I may need it later”………

Now I know that, makes me wish I had kept the beeza.

Surely you must know that whilst the Mrs is not always right, she is never wrong. (well, not mine anyway)She showed me the picture of the part.

I trust after fixing it you gave her both barrels back? How does she justify such behaviour talking to you like you were something she'd just trodden in? I genuinely don't get how or why men let women be so downright fShe showed me the picture of the part.

Not what she said but what someone said to her!
We are right in the middle of moving house. Movers are in, packing up and doing a grand job. Feels strange as there is little for me and the wife to do! I am sat in the armchair, feet up, perusing PH!
In comes one of the movers…. Asks me if the Mrs is about. I tell him she is in the kitchen sorting the fridge.
Of he goes into the kitchen where I hear him say “Mattyn’s wife, any chance of a coffee please?”
She ain’t too pleased!

For all her failures, my late wife would always have tea/coffee on the go for builders, window-cleaners etc. She would even take drinks to builders etc working at neighbours houses if she knew there was no-one home!We are right in the middle of moving house.

The best come back there would have been that Mr Mattyn will make you a brew - go ask him.We are right in the middle of moving house. Movers are in, packing up and doing a grand job. Feels strange as there is little for me and the wife to do! I am sat in the armchair, feet up, perusing PH!

king rude to them when clearly they've made the mistake.Her sometimes behaviour is something I am trying to work on, the menopause is not an easy time and I hope this too will pass.

I don’t “let” her talk to me like that, I bite back but unless you want to walk out and take on a Divorce then it is best to pick the battles.

Seriously, good luck with that. And I mean that sincerely. Her sometimes behaviour is something I am trying to work on, the menopause is not an easy time and I hope this too will pass.
My wife's menopause lasted 7 years, and at the end of that she became less eratic again, but had gone off the physical side of marriage completely.
But there's more to marriage than that, and one's relationship develops and changes over time.
At my time of life (70), you realise the truth in the suggestion made to me 50 years previously "make sure you marry your best friend".

I’m in the lounge, tele is on, I’m on my phone listening to whatever program is on in the background. We have 3 spotlights on in the corner and one on near the tele. Wife is leaving the house to take the dog for a walk and decides, without asking, to turn off all the lights bar the one by the tele before leaving the house, without asking if I need them on or not….
Apparently I’m the rude one for calling her out on it..
Different species sometimes….
Your wife turns lights off ?Apparently I’m the rude one for calling her out on it..
Different species sometimes….
Really?!
Not my missus, woman at work just now...
In the kitchen area there are a couple of microwaves (along with the normal fridges etc). For some reason 'they' have decided to install industrial/catering grade microwaves. To be fair, they are pretty good and far, far more powerful than your normal domestic job.
But still, it's a microwave oven, right?
Woman in the kitchen was just panicking as she could not extract her coffee from the oven as she didn't know how to open the door.
I pointed out that pulling the handle might be a good idea.
