OMG, you guys are dealing with the same crap I have put up with for 30 years now. When she comes home from work, she will sit in her car on the phone for 5 minutes while the dogs are going crazy. An appointment time for her means that we should get in the car to leave a full 5 minutes before we need to be there.

I am early to every appt. I have, she is never early, and gets mad when I suggest that she call and explain that she will be arriving late.

Why does she ..
Completely fill the recycle bin with only three cardboard boxes because she refuses to break them down?

I have few things that my wife does that I flat don't understand. But dudes, I am gonna hug her and tell her I love her one extra time after reading some of the crap you guys put up with.
My wife and I are so much alike in many things sometimes it is scary. We are always on time, and I have to often reign her back or we will arrive 20 minutes early to some event.

I still can't understand the "guest towels" in bathrooms. OK, if a towel is for guests ONLY, I understand. But if we go to a friends house, and I am the guest, I STILL can't use the fancy hand towels, and I still have to go to their kitchen to find a paper towel to dry my hands? What possible use are those towels if no one ever gets to use them?

They're just for looking at.

You guys have it good

WHY DOES SHE

Never put a hand towel in ANY of her bathrooms? Unless it’s a special event? PS I am not a special event.

cmccuist 12-17-2018 01:06 PM

I'm married 40 years on my way to forever. I go to bed before she does, but if she wants to ask me something, she comes into the room and turns on the light!! Then, after she gets the answer, she leaves the light on.

So I turn the light off on the ceiling fan, which makes her really mad, but hey! A guy's gotta get some shut eye!!

OMG! Don't get me started on towels. So she gives me a giant stack of towels and tells me to use them in my shop as she bought some new ones (the new ones won't soak up a drop of water, but look better!).

Then, she comes out to the garage and yells at me for getting her best towels all greasy!

Arrrg: don't get me started on pillows!!!

WHY DOES SHE have to have over 1/2 dozen pillows on a bed for two people...

kanadary 12-17-2018 02:56 PM

Omg, are we all married to the same women. 90 % of the stuff on her me is on target of what I deal with. I do try to help out the ladies at school who are married. What not to do. Not sure if it helps

Gogar 12-17-2018 04:24 PM

WHY DOES SHE

not have a key to her house in her purse?

WHY DOES SHE

leave the door from her house into the garage unlocked all day, then lock it behind her when she gets home?

drkidneydr 12-17-2018 05:21 PM

Why did she
 
She was seven months pregnant with twins. I wake up at 2am one night, she is not in bed. I notice that the light in the kitchen downstairs is on. I go down stairs, she is naked on her hands and knees scrubbing the floor. I asked her "what are your doing"? She picks up a large kitchen knief of the counter and yells "I hate your mother". I back out of the kitchen and return to bed. She claims that she does not remember anything about the incident???????

A930Rocket 12-17-2018 05:34 PM

Jeez. I forgot about the always on time issue. We are ALWAYS too early to everything we go to. It can range from 15 minutes to an hour early.

The funny thing is, I’m always ready to go and waiting for her. As I say let’s go, she gives me busy work to kill time.

Then we get there and WAIT! 😂

Who among us can't tell this story? An American classic...wait, what?

Is she taking Ambien?

My corrolary Why Does Shes:

Why does she always lock the front door when coming into the house, even if she just passed me on the front porch while I was taking the trash/recycling outside?

Why does she never give me my car keys back after borrowing my car? (They're not in her purse, either. :confused:)

Ambien aside, how does she act around your mother?

When this thread is done, all the responses should be compiled and put into a handbook handed to the groom-to-be a his bachelor party.

Phew. I was worried that the OP might compile all these responses and forward them to our wives.

craigster59 12-17-2018 08:54 PM

Why does she: Feel too scared to drive your gassed up pickup because it's hard to park, but it's big enough to fit all her friends and drive in comfort.

So you: Try and run an errand in her "Econo-box" sedan but find that the gas gauge is so close to "Empty" you don't know if you can make it the 1/4 mile to the closest gas station.

dan79brooklyn 12-17-2018 11:18 PM

My wife is pretty great. But she can’t park a car for ****. Reversing into a spot is excruciating, then she asks me is it good enough. Of course it isn’t, but somehow it’s my fault she did a bad job and or a problem with the car ( despite it having a reverse camera).

ckelly78z 12-18-2018 01:48 AM

Yep, she sees how many miles that she can run on a tank, and lets me use her car with the fuel light lit up when I start it. She once complained that I was getting gas, when there "Is obviously another 50 miles in the tank" !

I fill up at 1/4 tank, and sometimes sooner.

I grew up away from urban life.

I have the same problem.

I flat out do not back the big cat into parking spots. I'll make attempts from the 944 or Corvette.

The nice thing about the 944 is compared in size to modern cars, it is small enough tat even badly parked there is still plenty of room on both sides.

Well, at least a small car is easier to push.

drkidneydr 12-18-2018 08:34 AM

WHY did she
 
The females of our species are responding to and are driven by an enterily different set of stimuli and motives than the males. We males when interacting with females are equivlent to three dementional beings living in a 11 demential world and being asked to point in the direction off the 5th dimension. We can't do it! Females and males are in reality different species.

the above poster has gotta be a broad................ based solely on the psychobabble bull**** post.........

rcooled 12-18-2018 10:16 AM

Why does she...
Feel that it's perfectly OK to just start chit-chatting with me no matter what else I might be doing at the time...reading, watching a movie, or concentrating on some task at hand? And if I try to say that I'm busy right now, I get the "Why should that be more important than me?" routine.

My wife did that when we first married but I broke her of it.

I asked her what she was going to do when the big one hit and she was stranded somewhere because she was out of gas and none of the stations were operating?

Now she rarely gets under 1/4 tank.

Mine too! I can be walking from the bathroom back toward the garage at high speed and as I go by she starts a conversation as if I'm sitting next to her on the couch. I have to throw on the brakes and say "what honey".

cmccuist 12-18-2018 01:42 PM

Why does she

Always have to look for her car keys inside her purse?!? Put it in the same place each time!!

Always have to look for her phone inside her purse?!? Put it in the same place each time!!

Author had to change the original title...

"Men are from Mars and Women are Bat Chit Crazy"

I might have that backwards though ;)

Insist on "populating" any horizontal surface???

Gogar 02-14-2019 05:12 PM

WHY DOES SHE

When asked about “what do you want to eat?”
(Yes it’s a classic)


Text a list of the 20 restaurants we always go to

One restaurant per text

And then Say “or something new!!!!!”

Drbraunsr 02-14-2019 07:37 PM

WHY DOES SHE -
Not question me when I drop another grand on the P-car ?

I think she does in on purpose to drive me crazy. It's working.

DerkPerk 02-14-2019 07:38 PM

why does she always have some chit storm of a problem come up when I’m trying to get out of the house to do something fun by myself???
