She curbed one of alloys on my car...and was annoyed because I was a bit hacked off.

Also she was annoyed with the width of the estate roads, the road sweeper coming the other way...but I had stopped listening by then.

To top it off she said she’ll pay for the repair...it’s not like we don’t pool our funds...ffs
Haha mines curbed it and blamed it on a we stone in the road nobody could possibly see and she never hit a curb... 6 inch gash also taking some tyre out..

I work 50-55 hours a week plus any unpaid overtime and often don't take much of a lunch, so I'm a bit tired. We are on annual leave this week, not doing much due to Covid. I've slept in till about 9:00 a couple of mornings, lovely. Wife doesn't get it. If I'm not out of bed by 7:30, or 8:00 at a push , usually there's a bit of contention rolleyes

Maybe she'll come round when I inevitably burn out.
Same - 10ish hours for fours months then two weeks off

'lets decorate' ended up with her doing nothing but watch and moan about any drop of spillage

Bless her - I still love her dearly (she made me sat that) smile
That's nothing, I get up 2 hours before I've gone to bed and walk ten miles to work ........

This was a hint. The rest of you take note. It's KERB! FFS.

The Tesco delivery driver unloaded his van next to our recycling bin which I hadn't put back into the bin store. Apparently this is unhygienic.

Deep sigh.
As we are/were a shielding family (because of me, immune system meds) we have set up a sort of DMZ system for the Asda driver to drop all our shopping on a tarpaulin in our secluded back garden. He leaves, we go out and bring it in, my wife anti-bac'ing everything before it is allowed into the house

This week it was raining heavily so I set up the garden parasol over the DMZ, so the Asda dude would have a bit of shelter as he unloaded, he thanked me for it. I then brought the shopping in, then gave some things a cursory wipe but mainly put them away, given that it was pissing down outside and the football was on.

I have now apparently infested the house with Covid and we are all going to die! hehe

Deeper sigh!

Not me per se (Mrs. SVX is as mad as a sack of kittens), but one of my best mates wife did a full on The Mental at me during lockdown. I was dropping in some extra food I'd made for him, knock on the door, he invites me in. I step over the threshold, say hi to his kids and the wife who starts screaming like a banshee "you've brought Covid into our house!!!!". When I pointed out that I'd been playing cricket and rugby practice in their garden, just the other day, seemed to fall on deaf ears. Took a little while to smooth over.

???????????????????????

What did your Mate say?
I'd be expecting him to issue a swift back hand to her in that case.

Otherwise I'd not be dropping in any more!

I love looking at all 4x4’s they drive, they seem to be able to get all 4 alloys matching perfectly
Get one with high profile tyres on it then she can't curb it unless she hits those really high roundabout kerbs.

Some days I am on top of my game, pick the bath mat up, no toothpaste residue on the taps, put loo seat down, do the blind on the stairs, ensure the dishwasher is closed, feed the dog and at least 12,000 other rules, some sensible, some marginal, some utter nonsense.

So, when that happens, she does a Minority Report thing and tells me off about stuff she thinks I am likely to do and the dire consequences she tells me of in grave terms, that in some million to one scenario could potentially occur, that have been elevated to extremely likely, nay almost a certainty - Catastrophizing its called.

Yes I recognise this. Just when you think you’ve mastered all the latest rules and regs another set gets posted...

I bought my wife an Evoque (yes, I know, one for the Council thread) but refused the "alloy wheel damage insurance" due to the high profile tyres. Yes, 3 months later 2 are kerbed rofl

However it's my fault. During the snow a few years ago it slid into the kerb, apparently I must have bought one with a broken 4wd banghead

if only I'd known, I'd have bought the 2WD version and saved a few quid.......

Have to say, my Mrs is the one in this house that doesn't kerb alloys - she ran ultra low profiles and there was barely even any road-rash on them ... keeps her cars immaculate, way better than any other female I know of

Did something that she can't remember that pissed her off.......in her dream...normally takes an hour 2 or me reminding her that its her own insecurity that's caused it before she's normal with me again
My wife once dreamt I had an affair with someone she knows.

She was cross with me for most of the next day.

The kids and I thought it was hilarious.

you cant expect her to actually learn to drive in snow? whenever i see a car stuck spinning its wheels going no where on 1mm of snow, its some ditzy woman driving sat 1mm from steering wheel and a look of fear in her face.

in the last snow i was overtaking loads of stuck 4x4s driven by s in my stty FWD car on summer tyres.

Gave Mrs P a dead leg last night during my dream about playing football.
Managed to stop the ball going out of play but her selfish shouting woke me up so I'm unsure if we won.
That’s frickin hilarious! Thanks, you made me laugh out loud!

Looking in far too good condition but she soon sorted that out, using a kerb.
