my wife is the funniest.
Gallager calls it "female double talk". it stumps me.
example. busy intersection. we are trying to cross traffic. i ask, "my way is clear, is yours?"
"YES.......there's a car"
(screech)
this morning. i've been fighting a charge on my credit card. the vendor promised to refund the purchase price after i stopped the shipping, and canceled the order. it has been weeks..i actually forgot.
i call the wife to see if the refund happened. (her account, her passwords)
"morning, remember that $350 charge on Amex? did the vendor give us our refund?"
"let me check..call me back"
i give it some time, and in the meantime i rekindle the slow simmering anger i had towards the vendor (mostly the PIA situation). i call back;
"did you see the refund?"
"No.....(screech!..wtf?)..................i dont see the charge anymore!"
"what? no refund? no..they didnt charge us, it's gone"
i put the leash back on the Kraken i was gonna let loose on the vendor. and laugh.
i work with an awesome engineer lady. super smart. i wont do field surveys with her ever.
if i am the rod man..my blood pressure isnt good
"cliff. move to the right, six"
"six what?"
"six!"
"feet, inches? steps?"
"just start moving, and i'll tell you when to stop"
"hey, where are you going? we arent done here..cliff? stop! HEY!! we came in the same truck!"
i dont let it bother me at all. it is funny. i'd love to hear women talk..they must have a secret decoder ring. or training. my wife cracks me up.
women..love them.
