Does anyone else have a SWMBO that completely eliminates all nouns and pronouns from sentences and questions? Less than ten minutes ago, I got: "Do you think I should spray that again or not?" This happens all the time and when I complain about the lack of nouns, you know because I never passed that effing mind reading class..... I get something like: "well you should just know what I'm talking about" or the ever so popular, " you just don't listen to me" ARRRRRGGGGGGG! Just because I married you, doesn mean that I can read your mind!
 
Any new Thread Killas? I had a couple this weekend but since I have a bad memory I've forgotten them. But next time I'll write them down to share.
 
Heard this one the other day, "I give you plenty of time to do that when I'm at work."

Yeah. Didn't go over very well.

when this occurs, I simply say - "I can't read your mind. What are you talking about?"

When I get a "you ought to know" I tell her she's had enough time to know me, and she "ought to know" that I don't read minds.


...when I awaken from the knock-down, we have a beer...:D
 
The only one I earn on a regular basis is *that* glare. After an otherwise normal statement or chastising, the following glare will let me know that any attempt I make at righting the situation will not only be ineffective, it will bury me in shift that could kill lesser men.
It's horribly obvious that my contribution to the conversation is over at that point IF I'm watching - which is unfortunate, as I'm usually not.
 
I'm pretty sure my wife has no idea she's doing this. If she's in a bad mood I just ask her if there's anything she needs, and depending on her tone of voice when she says no, I know how long to leave, and how expensive a thing i should bring back to her. Most often thirty minutes and a bag of skittles does it. Then I just have to convince her that I really am dumb enough to know what I've done wrong. After twenty minutes of talking, I either have a chore or a shopping list.

*Dumb enough to NOT know*
