Washing her car
So I washes her car like it's the frickin finals at Amelia Island or some Schit. Like, toothpick and Q-tip and actual wax and 94 different products kind of stuff. It's a sick azz car and she let me drive it all weekend so I think it's a square deal.
So i says: "Hey, I washed your car! (and topped off the fluids and recharged the AC) "Took me like 3 hours! Doesn't it look great?" She's like "Did you feed the dog?" "I wish I had 3 hours to do something like that!" Then I goes out to the car a few days later and there's frickin' Freddy's wrappers and about 95 Diet Coke cans, each one about 2/3 full, in the car. She works 1 block from the house. She musta driven to Freddy's specifically to put Freddy's wrappers in the car. How can I MAKE HER SEE? The BEAUTY? The JOY of the perfectly clean car? Or should I shut up and be happy I got to drive the sick azz car? ![]() There's a possibility I'm exaggerating a little

Ya, you know my mom told me a million time not to exaggerate!
My wife is a keeper in so many ways. She keeps her car clean on the inside and she actually helps me when "we" wash her car. She does actually help, and does a great job. She parks at the end of the parking lot in the good spaces. She is a 100% keeper! (The wife not the car)

If she wants to be a slob, let her be a slob.
Keep your car clean if that makes you happy. |

What, no almonds or other assorted foods of the current health food craze on the floor? It would be nice if she could just get the food in her effin mouth half of the time, that would cut down the amount on the floor by 1/4.
I especially liked when my Missus tried to glue a phone holder to the front of the dash. When it fell, and I knew it would, she left the glue residue behind. It adds a touch of class the the car. She truly can't appreciate that we are paying real money for the thing and treating it like crap isn't going to make it last longer.

I gave up a while ago. I could spend the weekend cleaning, and detailing up the inside, and she would be pissed, because she could no longer find her 37 bottles of body spray, and the $322.78 worth of change in the cupholders, door pockets, ash trays, and spilled down between the seats, and stuck to the floor with the 14 mcdonalds cups leaking sticky ooze all over the place .

![]() My wife last night, talking about her new Mercedes: "A bag of raw chicken exploded in my car. I have to try to figure out how to clean it now. Especially behind the rear view mirror and the roof." I drove the car recently and the switches in the center console barely work. She's spilled Red Bull into them. Just makes her all the more lovable ![]()

I keep towels in my car. When we get food to go I make her put that towel on her lap. Too many spills that didn't get cleaned up until it was too late.
Anyway, we are 40 years together and she still makes me laugh and love life, but damn! Does it have to look like a food fight went on in the passenger seat!?!

That is what you get for bringing one of your groupies home. Don't they have a handbook or something they give to rock stars?

I cook, do dishes, clean, vacuum, do laundry, take out the trash, mow, fix things, build things, clean my cars, work a 40 hour job, am a sound engineer for a local band, teach aikido, mountain bike and try to stay in shape.
The wife works a 50+ hour job (without any extra pay), try's to pay the bills, has an unending list of worries and fears and her car is a festering pit of tissues, wrappers, containers and water bottles. She did mow the yard (ok, half of it) as my Father's Day gift. Yee Haw. The daughter has break downs, anxiety attacks, lives with her phone and really doesn't do anything else. If I do something for them, it is for my benefit and have no expectation of them recognizing it. I've given up hoping that either one of them will be functional and pickup some slack but accepting reality, this is how it will be until I walk away. I figure once my kid is out of high school (2 more years), all bets are off.
