SWMBO Put My Beer In Her Laundry Basket
|
|
I love my swmbo, and she totally supports my brewing hobby/obsession. She's working hard to understand all the parts of the process. However,.....
tonight she was going to the basement and I asked her if she could bring up a bottle of my DIPA from the beer fridge. She came up with a full basket of laundry and I asked her if she'd remembered my beer. She took off a bunch of laundry fresh out of the dryer, pulled my beer, sitting sideways, out of the middle and said, "I hope you enjoy it!" I thanked her and then went down to the basement to put it back in the beer fridge.

Good man! She did you a favor, did it happily and (she thought) did it right. Best thing you can do is fix it yourself, not hurt her feelings and in the future try to find a casual way to teach her about how to handle homebrewed beer. If you tried to point out what she did wrong right then, you'd be fetching your own beer from then on and could have sewed resistance to the hobby itself.

Well how else was she supposed to carry it? If I got a basket full of laundry anything else that's coming up from the basement is going in the basket. I've have just drank it anyway, but that's just me. I don't mind yeast at all, and since I'm lazy and leave it in primary for a looong time I rarely have more than a light dusting of yeast on the bottom of bottles.

I think I would say thankyou, drink it, and be fortunate that she would do it for you. It's also great that she doesn't mind your hobby.

Geez, all it would have needed was a few minutes upright to settle back down...
It's going to have a hellova lot less agitation then driving from a beerstore in your car with a sixer. Getover it.
Some guys. I tell you, at least you have someone who cares enough to get you your beer.

It's futile Reverend. This is the kinda guy that'd complain she'd warmed his beer up by serving it to him from betwixt her breastages.

Yeah like those guys who complain at the beer store when the hot cica behind the counter turns the sixer on the side to scan the bar code on the bottom, like I said as if the car ride isn't going to shakes things up as it is.
