Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
Travelling from Dorset to Lincolnshire last Friday afternoon, heading off we plugged the route into google maps so we could keep an eye on traffic as we knew it would be pretty heavy. Estimated journey time was about 5 1/2 hours as it looked like there were a couple of accidents on the A34/A43.
About half an hour into our journey, she checks again and pipes up with "oh, looks like traffic is clearing as it says only 5 hours to go now"

She's pregnant. HTH.
(my ex used to eat Bic pens when she was pregnant

I do that, does that mean I'm pregnant? I certainly seem to have the bump, but it's been there for a decade or so now.(my ex used to eat Bic pens when she was pregnant

Usually this thread serves to remind me how lucky I am to have married a sane woman, however she just WhatsApp'd me to ask where Eindhoven is.
In order to use WhatsApp she must be on either her phone or computer with internet access...
I sent back a google maps link.

Nothing that was actually said, but her performance in reversing her car out of the perfectly satisfactory parking place in which I had left it. I had to stop her from trying to swing the front of the car round and into the adjacent pillar, I pointed out that all she needed to do was to straighten up and reverse back. Then I had to tell her which way to turn the wheel to achieve that.
So at last the car is clear of the pillar but instead of reversing back much further into the large empty space behind her, she starts a session of unnecessary wheel twirling in order to be able line to the car up to drive out of the car park.
It's not so much the crap driving that irritates me, it's the absolute point blank refusal to learn what she's doing wrong

Yep, many threads crop up on here asking bloody stupid questions or opinions that a quick Google would sort!
yes, and Facebook is even worse for it as well! Just look at the guy who posted on here about builders throwing building rubbish onto his property, so he asked what he should do; FFS grow a pair, it should never have got to the stage that it had!

It amazes me that grown adults with jobs (sometimes very good jobs so one would assume reasonably intelligent) and families, just can't seem to think for themselves and have to ask the opinion of others rather than nipping it in the bud

I tried to look at that thread but it had already gone before I had the chance! Just look at the guy who posted on here about builders throwing building rubbish onto his property, so he asked what he should do; FFS grow a pair, it should never have got to the stage that it had!

The same way you hoover with a Hoover.
We have a Dyson which is used for the first and upper floors, and a Vax which we use for the ground floor and first flight of stairs.My wife will occasionally leave a note saying, “If you want to get in my good books, hoover the living room and kitchen, and don’t give me that crap about not having a Hoover.”
My god we are in Thailand at the moment, firstly we get to the hotel room and she whacks the A/C to the lowest possible temp:
Me: "why are you putting the A/C so low, it'll be bloody freezing?"
Her: "it's hot in here and I want it to cool down quickly"
Me: "as per the conversation we have at home, seemingly on a daily basis regarding the thermostat, it is the same principle; set the temperature to what you want it to be and the A/C unit will cool the room to that temperature as quickly as it can"
FFS what is it about thermostats that women can't seem to grasp.
Daughter is back home she txt me at midnight (home time), it's freezing the heating isn't on, I've turned it up and nothings happening, cue lots of s
t "advice" back to her from the wife about calling a plumber or resetting the boiler (haven't a clue how and neither has she!), etc.
Meanwhile I txt back stating that the heating goes off at 22:00; as its always done, hit "+1" on the timer and it will kick in for an hour. Nope. Doesn't work apparently, but there is hot water, so the boiler is working!
FFS I just know there will be nothing wrong, it's just a woman and heating don't mix thing, what is it that they just don't get and I just know that the heating will be set to 25, for the next 10 days, it'll be subtropical in our house!
