The measuring cup, and marital bliss.

After 46 years I don't listen to negative or sassy comments. And it works both ways.. LOL

Just wait until she figures out that during brewing the beer shouldn't have a head... But it's a brilliant idea nonetheless! I like to start brewing around noon-ish so I don't run into these problems. Bottoms up!

Or when she catches you sampling the wort in the morning... when you not even brewing

I agree, brilliant. I know from doing Photoshop fakes, context is crucial.

One summer I was visiting my brother at summer school. It was hotter than hell and even hotter in his trailer. He kicked on the air conditioner and then pulled a vodka bottle out of the ‘fridge and took a mighty swig. I gasped.
He gave me a funny look and said something like ‘It’s water, do you think I’m crazy?’

A similar deal, I know a guy that walked around the factory carrying a clipboard and a part. He did very little actual work. He explained to me, that as long as you have something in your hands, they think you’re working, they won’t ask what you’re doing.

Got a guy a work with a bottle of vodka on his desk, it's always empty by the end of the day

Since the OP is so inconsiderate of OCD brewers re: his spanner placement, I've taken the matter into my own hands.

There's a crooked one 8th from the right

Kinda reminds me of a basement shelf-building project I had with my FIL. I had just set up the keg system in the basement and it just happened to be week 2 of the NFL playoffs. SWMBO and MIL were upstairs and FIL says, "you know, if we just bang on these metal shelves with a mallet every now and then, they'll think we're doing stuff when, in reality, we're just going to stand around and drink beer and watch football."

I've gotta set limits somewhere. Otherwise I'll spend a week Photoshopping all his screwdrivers into straight rows.

Ok ok!!!

No way would I ever put my beer in a coffee travel mug, even coffee taste terrible in those cups.

Now thanks to Kerin above, I cant find my left-hand-thread spanner anymore.

Kerin after you get done straightening out my screwdrivers can you arrange them by type. Phillips on the right, followed by slotted, and then finally torx.

Finally when I get caught, and I'm sure that one day I will. This one goes in the win column.

Why? because for a couple of months I got away with it. Which is two months more that I had before.

And then my wife and I will have a good laugh at the whole thing, because she knows me to well to expect anything different.

good stuff.

I remember the days before homebrewing and kegging. My wife would attack just based on a quick empty bottle count. Now she actually has to observe my behavior. I know she has no clue because she is always asking me to drive errands instead of yelling at me.
