Her, what's that on the floor.
Me, water.
Apparantly I'm unnecessarily sarcastic, my response should have been about how it got there and why I'm such a clumsy oaf to spill it in the 1st place.
Oh and "drenched flooded floor" is a few ml which I'm able to wipe up with a cloth.
Classic case of asking the wrong question and getting frustrated when they receive the correct answer. If she wanted to know how the water got on the floor she should have asked “how did the water get on the floor”. Oh and finishing with the old blowing something out of proportion.Me, water.

It has to be at least half a roll of paper kitchen towel. I have no idea why.

Has anybody else familiar with the scenario in which the woman won't make a decision on the basis that it's easier (for her) if the hapless male has to make the decision, so that she can then criticise it?
Ms Fastchas traded her Nissan Juke in last year going from PCP to buying a car outright. I advised her to buy the '65reg 20k miler Golf diesel automatic. This was against her decision to buy a 60k miler A3 '64 reg. The Golf was a no-brainer IMO.Put a deposit down then changed her mind as her daughter will be taking her test in 2019 so a manual might be better in her opinion.
Went back to the dealer to see what he'd got and we found a '64 reg Volvo V40 Cross Country with 14k miles. Absolute mint, with Leather/sat nav etc.
Asked me what to do - I said 'uh-uh, it's YOUR decision. You took my advice last time but I screwed it up for you.
She said 'Yes I understand, but what would YOU do?'
I said I'd buy the 14k miler Volvo over the 60k mile A3. The quality of the V40 was superb as well.'But it's YOUR decision', I said.
She bought the Volvo.
Six months later, doesn't like it - it's my fault. Keeps asking me to buy it off her if I like it so much (it's too small for me, I buy estates).
Now you see, I don't get all this stuff with Mrs Bobbers, the going from one Defcon to another at the drop of a hat, the lists of jobs to be done and in what order and by when, the moody silences, the snapping my head off for no apparent reason, what I get is the inability to make decisions, about food, where to go etc, and her constantly second guessing her own decisions!!! If she disagrees with something she's quite vocal about it and she's quite capable of telling me she doesn't like/want/need something, I guess she's a bit "speshul" maybe???

Reminds me of an incident when I was in 6th year at secondary school. One of my mates was fooling about in the chemistry lab involving a Bunsen burner. He managed to set fire to something on the bench (after 40+ years I can't remember what). At the moment the (female) chemistry teacher came into the lab.So discussing a which way we should have a door opening.

"What happened here?" she demanded.
"It caught fire" said Chris.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT CAUGHT FIRE!" she screamed.
"Er, it took flame?" stuttered Chris.
I don't really think he deserved the subsequent punishment

If you'd been too long moving the bricks and Wicks closed, that's your fault then, innit

Wife move bricks, makes dinner, greets you with a smile and g and t, because you rembered to collect stuff from wicks. A trained wife is a happy wife or somesuch.
That is what mine would do without hesitation if it was at all possible for her.All these posts remind me why I got rid of the first one.
The present madam Magoo was told how it had to be or we were going nowhere.

You then compounded it by not choosing to do Wickes first as that is the only one of the three jobs with an absolute time deadline.
Your summary of the situation sounds fair enough though.

His real mistake was not dating a woman with the strength of a man so she could do the brick shifting. You then compounded it by not choosing to do Wickes first as that is the only one of the three jobs with an absolute time deadline.
