Funny thing wives say.
 
My wife asked me if I would do the rear brakes on her E46 cabriolet. I said sure. So I ordered the parts. Jacked up the back of the car and... brake pads are fine.
I go into the house and ask her why she thought her rear brake pads needed replacing. I figured it was told to her by the recent guys who did the annual inspection. She said. “Well when I back up, my brakes squeak”, “your back brakes are for backing up right?”

:rolleyes:


There is some logic to this....

Well, I mean, she's technically not wrong.

We men (most) take for granted our mechanical aptitude as well as our understanding of many other worldly things.
I've always found it entertaining to explain to most women how some things work.
If explained in simple to understand ways, the look of surprise and the joy of the actual experience of understanding on their faces can be very worth while.
Cute and fun Beings, aren't they?
.
Then this: I've learned a ton from women. Even the ruthless ones.

Just this morning, she's navigating and I'm driving.
Her, "Turn at the next intersection."
Me,"Is it a one way street?"
Her, "I don't know."
Long silence ....
Me, "Which WAY do I turn at the next intersection?"

Don Ro 06-21-2018 12:56 PM

^^^
Yep!
.
Or her waving her hand above the dash..."Turn here."
And you can't tell which way her hand is waving...because it's only waving. LOL

"Left, LEFT, no THAT left." as she points right.

Our two garage is so crowded I back in with the passenger side about 6 inches from the shelf's.
So when we go out in my car I pull out of the garage and she gets in outside the garage.
Last night we are going out to dinner... she stops and stands behind the car (room to walk out of the garage between the two cars).
I start the car.
"Pull out, I'm breathing fumes back here!!!"
I pull out and she get into the car...

Sunday we visited the Reagan Library.
We are waiting in line to walk through the Marine one helicopter.
My wife turns to me and says in a loud voice:
"I wonder if any democrats come here... I mean besides you!"

Oh god, you also? I have learned not to listen to her command, but look where her hand is pointing. Or I will ask her " this left, or that left ?"

My wife has been working with/for me me for 6 weeks now. It has been good fun seeing her learn , and search for labor times for individual jobs , and learning car jargon. She's actually better at it than I would have thought

Her: If you don't drink anymore tonight, you might get LUCKY.

ME: Been there. The Operative word is MIGHT - I'm not only gonna have a drink. I'm gonna UPGRADE to a Double.....

"There's a parking spot!!"
As you pass and the spot is half a car length behind you
