Hell at times you would think they were going to kill each other over the dam things.... Every day granddad would cuss about those things,yet carefully put each one away before bed... every morning grandma would cuss that they were put away, and put them all back on the kitchen window.... At times as a kid, my cousins and I discussed taking them so they would stop arguing about something so silly...... Come to think about it, it was pretty much one of the few things I've ever heard them argue about. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My SO is half Vietnamese. She does this as well.  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Drinks hot water. Seems so odd to me. Even asks for it at restaurants.  Is she Chinese? Mine does that. Acupuncturist, did a 6 month internship in a hospital in China, one habit she brought back. My SO is half Vietnamese. She does this as well. In all likelihood I think it has to date back to boiling water for safety. Lots of food practices leftover because of outdated safety concerns. |

Insists on turning the temperature controls in our explorer to 80 while warming it up. She believes the heater will begin to heat faster by turning it up all the way. I tried to explain to her that it will get to 70 degrees just as fast regardless of if it is set to 70 or 80, but she still does it. She also turns the fans on full blast rather than letting the climate control handle the fan speed, for the same reason. I told her it'll just blow cold air until the heater core warms up, but I gave up and don't even bother anymore. She's happy so I'm happy.

Same with our efficient HVAC in our house. Wife-"It's going to be 21 below zero tonight, better turn the heat up." Try to tell her if t-stat is set at 62, 'the house does not care how cold it is Outside, it will keep the Inside at 62.' 62 may sound like a low setting, try some flannel sheets, and a down comforter, it is too hot in bed. 64 in the day, 60 at night, well insulated, no drafts. ETA, she is the one who turns heat down, is cozy, get flannel sheets! |

A friend of mine will only operate the controls in an ON/OFF fashion. He will burn the skin off of your face with the heat and fan on maximum for a few minutes, then turn the fan off completely until it gets cold again. I've never been able to figure out why he does this, and he's never explained it. If he ever owns a car with climate control, I don't know what he's gonna do. He might just lose his shit. The only time in my life where my wife has not been constantly cold, was when she was pregnant. The house was a comfy 65 the whole time and I loved the heat savings. I didn't have to blast the heat in the car constantly, cracking my window every few minutes because I was burning up even with just a T-shirt on. Now our son is 1 year old and the house must be 68-70 at all times once more. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Would put the emergency brake on every time she parked despite being on a flat surface with an automatic transmission. She finally quit when the parking brake spring broke in her last car. Apparently her grandpa taught her this and her brother and mom do it too.  I do this. If you saw the tiny piece of metal that is responsible for holding your vehicle in place, you might too. Not to mention the shock load it takes off the trans IF someone were to plow into your vehicle in a parking lot. Also, the biggest reason for E-brakes in vehicles to stop working is from lack of use (not counting rust from those in the rust belt).

Mine will respond to a question with a completely unrelated answer, as if she never heard the original question and is simply responding to a question I may or may not ask in the near future. Drives me absolutely nuts. She also has a bad habit of never putting something in the same place twice, so I am constantly trying to find stuff around the house. Remotes, car keys, cell phone, doesn't matter, it's always a scavenger hunt to find anything...

Mine leaves the last mouthful of toothpaste spit in the sink, twice a day, every day. I like things to be perfectly spotless all the time and she knows it. I cant understand why I have to wash that shit out
 She cant comprehend the process of organizing things in categories. When Im done using a widget, it goes back in the rubbermaid container marked "widgets". When she's done with the widget, it gets stuck in the nearest nook, drawer or shelf. Also, she will walk past the coat closet by the front door and hang her coat or jacket on the back of a kitchen chair. Why the fuck would a sane person do this? |

My wife runs a home custom embroidery business and is doing very well at it. She has grown it from nothing to having four machines that cost as much as a damn car completely paid off in the span of 5 years. She just recently bought a shirt printer that cost five figures with the surprise money we got from Bank of America back in December. That thing has been running non-stop.
Now for the shit that annoys me. House is always cluttered and a mess with her business supplies and materials. One time she bitched I wasn't helping clean up. One day she asked me to help clean up, I started picking up her business supplies and put them in labeled bins. She was pissed she couldn't find anything and why did I mess with her stuff. Turns out she was talking about the dishwasher being full and a couple of dirty dishes in the sink and my dirty laundry in the linen basket. Now when she asks me to help clean up, I ask her if it's her stuff or my stuff. She gives me the evil eye and calls me a dick. 
She thinks my wall of ammo in the closet stacked in ammo cans is out of control.

BF will not allow any power adapters (laptop, phones, etc.) to stay plugged in when he is not home or asleep. Worries they will start a fire.
Got all offended when I asked if he also unplugs his refrigerator and stove when he's out as well. Believes that if an electrical fire started in his place, it would be from a small device rather than consider the possibility that it might be faulty wiring. Says its impossible since his building is less than a decade old and nobody does shoddy work these days. 
Edit: he wants to add that I am incapable of closing any and all drawers.... Unplugging charger and power supply adapters is actually a good idea. Quite a few of them are, in fact, prone to starting fires. Why not reduce the risk for things you can control? |

Ugh, where do I start? My wife won't leave me alone when I'm cleaning my guns. It's always "show me what you're doing! I want to learn! Can I try!?" Then she has the audacity to pull out her own guns and think it's ok to clean them too. She usually goes right ahead and starts on her own, and does it correctly. WTF is wrong with this woman. She's got awful taste in men, too. That really sucks.

$87.00
Older guy at work used to get called into HR every quarter or so, he'd just pile up his checks in his glove compartment. Single, and lived with his Mother. |

Wife is a cleaning and organization fanatic. Everything is clean and germ free and everything is labeled.
Except her vehicle. I can collect a bag of tran every week and often there's no room in the back seat for the junk that's back there. She just trashes her cars inside and out. I no longer buy new cars for her because the get banged up and stained. I can go out of town for a few days and my truck will look the same. |

talks nonsense in the shower, but won't tell me what she's saying. I've tried eavesdropping, but between her mumbles and the running water, I can never make out what she's saying. My wife will talk to me in the same tone whether I'm sitting right next to her, or in the shower with the vent on then can't understand why I can't hear her. I have to explain about the ambient noise to her. Every time. Hell, I'll be mowing the fucking yard and look up to see her on the porch, her mouth moving, talking to me like I'm sitting next to her, oblivious that the godamn mower is clearly louder than her.

I do this. If you saw the tiny piece of metal that is responsible for holding your vehicle in place, you might too. Not to mention the shock load it takes off the trans IF someone were to plow into your vehicle in a parking lot. Also, the biggest reason for E-brakes in vehicles to stop working is from lack of use (not counting rust from those in the rust belt). http://www.explorerforum.com/photopost/data/2/15286DSCN6128.JPG Quote HistoryQuoted:

Would put the emergency brake on every time she parked despite being on a flat surface with an automatic transmission. She finally quit when the parking brake spring broke in her last car. Apparently her grandpa taught her this and her brother and mom do it too. I do this. If you saw the tiny piece of metal that is responsible for holding your vehicle in place, you might too.

It's a lot cheaper to fix the spring. Also - some vehicles use the parking brake to adjust their brakes on an on-going basis. |

Reminded of another one today...she simply cannot use an electrical device without getting the cord so tangled that it takes two midgets and a wizard to get it untangled. I've never seen anything like it. Hairdryers, clothes iron, cordless phone, makes no difference, it will be a tangled mess within 10 seconds of her handling it. Only reason the cords on the washer and dryer aren't tangled is because she hasn't figured out a way to get them off the wall yet.

Mine leaves the last mouthful of toothpaste spit in the sink, twice a day, every day. I like things to be perfectly spotless all the time and she knows it. I cant understand why I have to wash that shit out
She cant comprehend the process of organizing things in categories. When Im done using a widget, it goes back in the rubbermaid container marked "widgets". When she's done with the widget, it gets stuck in the nearest nook, drawer or shelf.
Also, she will walk past the coat closet by the front door and hang her coat or jacket on the back of a kitchen chair. Why the fuck would a sane person do this? My wife says it sounds like you're married to a man.
