Damned if you do, damned if you don't

I remember when my wife and I moved from one apartment to another, I had my bike locked to the balcony, and for some god only knows reason, she packed the keys to the locks! I had 'no choice' but to go out and but a Gerber multi tool for almost $100 that I had been eying for a few months, and then she apologized for making me buy such a thing. (It was one of those 'kryptonite' chains, not the u bolts, and it took about half an hour or so with the tool to 'saw' off the other plastic, then untwist part so the braids were seperate and then the wire cutters in the knife were easily able to eliminate the braids. )

Bwahahahahahah! You poor man. Your post title says it all.
I'm fairly lucky in that my wife's dissatisfaction doesn't usually last for long.
She used to have an issue where her laptop just would not connect to the internet no matter what she did. Of course, the very moment I tried it always worked.
Since then anything I can fix that she can't just needs 'A man's touch' and vice versa.

Bah. I've caught my hubby doing things the wrong way or having trouble with something until I helped, and vice versa.

We're well balanced and complement each other.

Heck, he says I'm smarter than him, and I say naaaaahhhhh.... we've both got smarts and help each other the best we can.

The old girl & I built the log house we live in by ourselves alone.

She pulled all the upstairs wiring and installed two new toilets by herself - repairing one wouldn't even be challenge.

If I don't get to it fast enough, she'll take care of it herself & get it right the 1st time.

Slan yall,

LOL!
OMG, this is awesone! Ok, first Pho, you went so wrong in so many ways:
1. You went to Wally world without your wife
2. You bought something and she couldn't
3. You came home. Big mistake!
4. You did not jump to fix the cammode when you knew she knew that she would have to get her hand wet.
5. You made her wait.
6. You made her wait.
7...

That story is too funny. My wife who is sitting beside me on the couch shaking her head and I had a good laugh over this one.

As quick as you can....go break something, that she can fix...and when she does praise her lavishly

[Slag]

My wife is an engineer. I just sit back and wait for the explosion

[Eric Peterson]

That is great! This is how it would play out at my house. First I would look at her like how in the world did you manage to break that (even if I broke it). I would then have her reach in the tank water to flush the toilet...not really understanding at first what I had just asked: she would reach in to accomplish the task. After reaching in to the elbow to find the chain and flush the toilet she would then threaten to call a plumber tomorrow/ I then would be off to the store.......-And thanks for the great laugh!

I've had to rig my toilet a few times before we moved to our current place, though I doubt my son appreciates this now, I have had him 'help' me put in the color tablets in the tank a few times. Sure, he gets his 'blue water' and I hope some understanding of the way the toilet works.
