Sometimes that might be great. But probably more of a headache than what I want.
Sh*t our wives do...

Every time my wife was pregnant she went on a super “nesting” phase. I always dreaded the “don’t be mad when you get home”.
best was she tore out 2 whole floors of a mix of carpet and hardwood in s house we had just bought. Planned on doing floors just not that soon. She used a hammer, a screwdriver and a pair of garden shears to pull that off. Hauled it out and was burning it when I pulled in.
worst was same pregnancy, came home to find her putting up a new bathroom vanity. She wanted to surprise me. I walked in and she was mad as all get out, apparently she never learned about breakers and electricity. Said she spent 2 hours getting shocked trying to hook it up. I suggested turning off the light switch to start
And here I thought I had it tough when I came home and found all the kitchen wallpaper lying on the floor.
I feel better already.
For some reason my wife thinks that instead of slicing cheese, you have to gouge out chunks with a steak knife.
Drives me nuts!

Yep, serrated knife torture. Won't listen to reason when I tell her to throw all of those junk knives away and use a real knife. However, the silverware drawer is hers. The knife block is mine.For some reason my wife thinks that instead of slicing cheese, you have to gouge out chunks with a steak knife.

How come when you pull in somewhere and park the car to go to the store, to a diner, etc. it takes them minutes just to open the door and get out of the car?

That is my wife.
Maybe this is just my wife, but there seems to be a difference in preparedness. We’re spending the weekend in Steamboat. The day before we leave I filled up the truck with gas, topped off the wiper fluid because it’s going to be snowing on the way there, pre-packed my stuff, and loaded the ski stuff into the truck. My wife, on the other hand, an hour after we’re supposed to leave: “oh, on the way, we have to stop by Redbox to return a movie and by UPS because I’ve been meaning to return something for 2 weeks and today is the last day I can return it.”
And I’m sure this has been said in the past 11 pages, but I don’t think my wife has put gas in a vehicle since we got married. I genuinely worry that she’s going to run out of gas and be stranded on the side of the road while I’m away on hunting trips.
I don't know about others, but I'm an animal if I leave any tools out in the garage, oil rag on my bench or don't clean up wood chips immediately. However, I'm being petty when I call her out for the 182 piece make-up, hair dryer and nail kit strung across the bathroom because they're where they belong.
My wife is a wonderful cook, fastidious housekeeper and life partner. She has put up with my hunting obsession's, dirty bird dogs in the house, butchering in the kitchen and me for 40+ years. She has never said no to a proposed hunting trip or begrudged me anything. I thank God daily for her presence in my life. However, it is a constant battle for me to meet her expectation on cleanliness and clutter. My peeve since day one has been when she starts a project to clean up my stuff with the expectation that it will meet her standard. Never going to happen as I am incapable of operating at that level.

Try having three daughters as well, I can usually get what I’m after and be back to the car before half their coats are on…

In Progress Right Now!! It is 13 degrees outside and my wife is trying to wash the outside of the house windows.

That's my wife with her hair dryer. She leaves it on the vanity and it belongs under the vanity. It literally takes 2 seconds to put it away. Don't even get me started on changing the toilet paper roll.

My wife and I had been dating about a year when I took her on her first duck hunt. We were in a blind I had built on a pond and got setup nice and early. I explained to her the "plan" to stay hunkered down until I called out Shoot then stand and I'd let her have first crack at them. We get buzzed by some teal right at first light then it happens 3 mallards 2 green heads and a hen cup right into the decoys. I yell shoot and nothing happens but I'm not sure why as I'm watching the birds not her. I yell shoot again and nothing again. The birds have flared from her movements and are about to leave again I yell shoot. This time I hear 3 quick shots but instead of a bird or two falling I see pieces of my blind being blown into the pond. I looked at her and said "what happened"?. Her "the barrel got stuck in the camo netting". Me "then why did you shoot. Her screaming "BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TO F@#$ING SHOOT"!

This is my lovely wife scooping leaves out of the pool during the eye of our last hurricane. Pretty sure she's wearing pajamas and my old Navy rain coat. You can see the rain is coming down.

Try opening the door for them. They think you are being a gentleman, and it hurries them along. Works wonders.
