Wife Cleaned The Garage.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Wife Cleaned The Garage. (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 4/3/2015 5:54:08 PM EDT

Just went out to get a file to sharpen my chainsaw and noticed something was amiss. The chainsaw file, and every file in fact were gone. Upon passing the (2) 55 gallon trash cans i keep out there i glance into them and see an array of my things. Including a brand new $120 snowmobile seat cover "In the box" i had bought to replace the torn seat on my old Indy. The impossible to find sealed beam headlights for my old Case tractor. My brass tumbler, and half a bag of walnut shell media, and much much more. So still haven't found my files, and seem to have lost most of my mind along the way. Was having thoughts of coming in the house and "Cleaning" all of her favorite rooms but just poured myself some Captain, sat down at the computer and started preying for the strength instead.
She thinks she did the greatest thing, but we've been together for 10 years, and we've been through this. It's part of the master plan isn't it? I must be rendered completely insane.

How does one proceed? I should have rushed around and took it all in at once, cause when i go back out there I know I'm going to realize the full scope of the "Cleaning" and with my already frail emotional state I just might lose it.

Mine is trained to not touch my shit, but her father's garage hasn't been cleaned out since it was built in the 70s so that could have something to do with it too.

Go in and hug her. Kiss her and thank her for cleaning the garage.

Cook dinner for her. Make her a bubble bath. Give her a massage.

Make sure that she is taken care of first.

Get all your stuff and in a few days take her out to the garage and explain that many of the things thrown away were still good items.

Clean out her shoe closet.

Throw away everything that you haven't seen her wear that week or has more than one of the same color or type.
IE: keep only one pair of high heels,...etc.

What is this garage-cleaning wife that we are discussing? I have a split garage. MY side is neat and orderly (the way I like it). My wife's side is a mess. Despite being a compulsive house-cleaner, she likes to just dump the leaf-blower, lawn-mower, brooms, etc on my side of the garage when she's done with them. I WISH my wife would clean my garage after she's done!

Back from range,, great day of shooting.
Cleaned a couple pistols, and a carbine.

put about maybe half of the stuff away.

.

Getting ready to jump in the shower,

Wife pointedly asks if THOSE 8 pistol magazines need to be THERE on the credenza/wall unit, table thing in the hall....

.

I am naked. on my way INTO the shower.

Taking immediate action to rectify the 'problem' I grab the nearest 50 caliber ammo can, slap it on the hardwood credenza/ wall unit/ table thing in the hall, rip open the lid, which bangs loudly on the credenza/ wall unit, table thing in the hall, slam my 8 SIG 226 magazines roughly in the ammo can, briskly re-fasten the lid, and slam the ammo box back down on the floor, next to gun safe...

I Jump in the shower.

Wife is pissed.

Apparently, some scratches have appeared on the Credenza/wall-unit, table thing in the hallway.

THIS.

Emphasize how expensive those thing are and how having to buy new ones would cut into her budget. The go spend ton of money to buy organizer containers so you can keep your stuff not looking like clutter so she won't be tempted to repeat her performance.

Go through the drawer that has her panties and bras in it, throwing away everything that you don't like. I'm betting that would meet the definition of Shock and Awe. Sure it will cost you money to replace it but you would get to see her in the new stuff.

The answer is to bring the 2 trash cans into the living room, dump them on the floor, and begin looking for your stuff.

Posted: 4/3/2015 6:34:11 PM EDT

[#32]

My cure for that shit?

Replace everything with new stuff, and let her know how much she lost, Misplaced, or threw away.

Yeah, they have a fit, but they put shit back, or ask, before throwing out stuff they consider "Clutter" in the future.

In Chick world, everything that isn't covered in fabric, is "Clutter", or needs to be painted, unless it's theirs.

Establish some limits, and build a shop.
There is a reason so many of us have a nice comfy Barn, that stinks of Gear oil, and Diesel, to find refuge in.

Nothing makes me happier than when my wife is in "throwing shit out mode".

Look around your room, look around your garage. How many "things" do you have which quite literally haven't been touched in more than a year and don't qualify as art? How about 5 years? 10 years?

Humans hang on to a lot of trash for the sole purpose of giving their kids something to throw in a roll off container when they croak.

Never ceases to amaze me the ridiculous shit some guys put up with.

We might occasionally bicker about whether or not extra dirty dishes should be stacked on the counter or the sink while the dishwasher is running. That's about it. Neither of us would ever consider throwing the other's tools away.

You have been married 10 years and your wife would attempt/do something like this?? You have failed and failed miserably.

My wife learned VERY early on in our marriage that she is NEVER to touch or move my tools…… ever.

If she needs something like a screwdriver, pair of pliers, etc. for her craft work, she asks me for them….. I have since purchased her her own tools.

My tools, garage, etc. are basically off limits to any kind of feminine cleaning.

She has occasionally dragged crap she doesn't want in the house outside and dumped it in my shop....

Wife and step-daugher enjoy doing this. I think the plan is to cause me to have a heart attack and die.
1st time step daughter cleaned out my truck, second time was wife dumping everything out of my important drawer, 2 weeks ago it was part of the carport. They don't really clean, they just shuffle stuff around so it is cheaper for me to buy new tools that figure out wtf they did with my old ones.

---

I lost the usefulness of my detached shop when she filled it with crap that will never be pulled out of her packing boxes again. 3k feet of shop lost.
