Wives and the Stupid **** They Say/Do

I see you're still using the threat of deportation to keep her in line.

Daily.

‘Do I need to call Uncle Migra!?’

 

[BeauBenken]

Yup. Every time I go to change a kid's diaper I reach for the wipes and instead of the entire perforated flap being torn off it'll just be sitting there with a small hole instead. They perforate it for a reason! Boxes get me too, they get tossed into the garage not broken down, then I spend 15-30 minutes on trash night cutting Amazon boxes and diaper boxes so they'll fit flat in the bin.

The boxes drive me nuts. Even had my brother-in-law staying with us for his last year of college and its like I'm the only person in the house that wants to actually be able to throw stuff into the bin. Instead I come home to two boxes overfilling my small indoor bins or being piled up next to the door or something. It takes less than a minute to bust up the box and throw it in the larger bin outside. It takes me ten to go through the dozens that appear while I'm at work!

Amen! If it's Christmas time it's probably a half hour of box breakdowns on trash night lol.

Even in the middle of the day my wife has every single light on in the house. Every lamp, every hanging light, every kitchen light. During the day, I’ll turn the lights on and off and show her there is literally no difference between the brightness in the room.
My lifetime light switch off/on ratio has to be 3:1 by now

I did an experiment. A few months ago my wife went on multiple business and training trips over the course of a month where she was gone on multiple weeks. I checked the power bill that month and it was $90. Just me and my kid. Lol. With her in the house it doubles.

I've actually been looking into this lately. For whatever reason the laundry room light in our house never gets turned off unless I do it. There's plenty of others in the house that I have to flip off, but none that I need to turn off as often...nor are there any others that get used for such a brief time only to be left on for hours on end. I'm thinking about getting something like these for some of the lights in our house (Maybe one with better reviews):

I have them in my laundry, basement and garage.

They work.

This type of motion controlled switch is used very commonly in business environments……see them all the time in restaurant bathrooms.

The only issue with them is the sensitivity. I have one in my utility room that is really sensitive and will kick on when the furnace starts to run. In my garage, I had one that wasn't sensitive enough so if you are working on something in the garage, it would routinely turn off and it's very irritating. I had to change that one.

The other day the wife wants to sleep with some windows open because it's supposed to be cooler. Sure no problem. I get home yesterday and she has the windows and a couple of doors (screen doors) open. She never adjusted the thermostat and the AC was running constantly. I bumped the thermostat up and left the windows and doors open. A little later she comes inside and comments on how hazy everything looks. Did you expect the smoke from the Canadian wildfires to stay out while the windows are open? We slept with the windows closed and the AC running. lol

 

[ACamp1900]

I'm pretty hot blooded, I want/need the AC blasting at night. My wife constantly complains about how cold it is when we go to bed. SOmetimes I go put the air up a few degrees for her. Every time,... if I do that she wakes up in the middle of the night all pissy bc how hot it is....

I keep the AC usually between 72-73 degrees. To me, that's comfortable enough and saves a buck compared to keeping it at 68-70.

She always complains about how warm it is in the house on really hot days.....while she's underneath a blanket. Sometimes with long sweat pants on...

Usually mine is cold during the day and will have a blanket while watching TV. Go to bed and Wake up at night to find she’s kicked off the covers because she’s too hot! Lol

 

[Bishop2b5]

My wife isn't always cold like most women, thankfully. I like the temp set at 68 or 69 and she's happiest at 70, so we're fine together. However, I apparently put out a LOT of heat during the night and she calls me Chernobyl. When my youngest was 9, she slept in the bed with me one night while mom was out of town. I woke up to her feet in my face, her head at the other end of the bed, and her as far from me as possible. She said I was cooking her like a turkey.

 

[Terry Jillery]

It’s 79 degrees outside at 10Pm and I set the air to 71. Overnight it drops to 73 outside. I wake up at 7AM sweating and the heat is on and set to 75. Turns out it’s a 92 degree day today and I can’t get the house to drop below 76 all day long.

Her “But I was cold last night”.

Me “We have blankets for balmy 73 degree nights”

Day 50,500

 

[ACamp1900]

…….. I set my AC to 66 at night… daddy ain’t playin with this bullshit

I'm pretty sure my wife has an undiagnosed thyroid problem or something, she's almost always freezing. Her office is in the basement and she runs a heater down there in the summer...much to my distain. She also uses a heated blanket year round now when she goes to bed, and it's set high. It's probably at least 72 on the 2nd floor because the thermostat on the 1st floor is set to 70. She might be part Chihuahua. I keep the temp set to 70, but she'll turn it up on me. I didn't know she was the one messing with the thermostat, so I put a password on it thinking it was the kids and I didn't tell her. That didn't go over well.

The only time that woman is hot is when the kids set her off. When that happens she's steaming, and it's "Why is it so hot in this house?!"

Personally I work and game down in the basement pretty much all day, all seasons, and it's quite comfortable. I find our bedroom a bit hot to be honest, but part of that is due to the fact it's on the 2nd floor and there's two big windows with sun shining in each morning.

In women this is a condition known as melanin deficiency

Reminds me when I decided to start locking my tool chest so my tools wouldn't walk away.

Her: Why did you lock it?
Me: I got tired of trying to hunt down my tools.
Me: Remember, I gave you your own set to use.
Her: Yours are easier to find.
Me: Why is that? (That's when I took off running.) lol

Oh shit...my wife has a tool bag of her own too...but my screwdrivers keep disappearing and show up in drawers in the kitchen.

Sorry for the random bump. Just wanted to let the IE family know that I got married this morning.

I’m sure I will have something substantive to add to this thread by the end of the weekend.
