Damned if you do, damned if you don't

Just be glad you weren't dumb enough to say, "all it takes is a little common sense". I speak from experience. The dumbest thing I ever caught my wife doing involved our well. When I arrived back home with the replacement pump, I found her sitting beside the well, with a hose in the water 20+ feet below the surface trying to siphon water out of the well. I got in trouble for that one two by making a comment that I can't post here.

I remember when my wife and I moved from one apartment to another, I had my bike locked to the balcony, and for some god only knows reason, she packed the keys to the locks! I had 'no choice' but to go out and but a Gerber multi tool for almost $100 that I had been eying for a few months, and then she apologized for making me buy such a thing. (It was one of those 'kryptonite' chains, not the u bolts, and it took about half an hour or so with the tool to 'saw' off the other plastic, then untwist part so the braids were seperate and then the wire cutters in the knife were easily able to eliminate the braids. )

I made that mistake as well. I knew I was in trouble as soon as the words left my lips. The look I got could have melted steel.

It occurred to me shortly thereafter that I should have used a bit of common sense and not said a thing.

These are just the phrases I have used in the last two or so years.

Thank you for getting the nut loose for me! I apologize for waiting so long. I really need to work on these focus issues....

Shall I continue?

Just remember, your basic mistake in this situation was.....









YOU bought/rented a house with only one bathroom.
We have 3 for just this situation.

Bwahahahahahah! You poor man. Your post title says it all.
I'm fairly lucky in that my wife's dissatisfaction doesn't usually last for long.
She used to have an issue where her laptop just would not connect to the internet no matter what she did. Of course, the very moment I tried it always worked.
Since then anything I can fix that she can't just needs 'A man's touch' and vice versa.

Bah. I've caught my hubby doing things the wrong way or having trouble with something until I helped, and vice versa.

We're well balanced and complement each other.

Heck, he says I'm smarter than him, and I say naaaaahhhhh.... we've both got smarts and help each other the best we can.

The old girl & I built the log house we live in by ourselves alone.

She pulled all the upstairs wiring and installed two new toilets by herself - repairing one wouldn't even be challenge.

If I don't get to it fast enough, she'll take care of it herself & get it right the 1st time.

Slan yall,

Oh dear - still laughing here - did you ever hear about the book called Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus?

Isn't that one of those books which, once you've read the title, you don't need to read the rest of the book?

with apologies to Neal Stephenson.
