Admit nothing.
Deny everything. Make counter accusations. |

Remind her to be thankful she has a roof over her head and running water.

Quoted: Admit nothing. Deny everything. Make counter accusations. I second that! I just want to add that if your water heater is in the garage it should be at least 18 inches off of the floor. This is so that the fumes from the paint and gasoline that are normaly kept in a garage that are heavier than air don't settle and get ignited by the pilot light. Trust me on this, I work for a gas company. |

Admit nothing and get upset with her for being upset!
That will get her. Tell her to deal with the cold water thing, and that some people in other countries don't even get a chance to take a bath much less one with warm water. |

Wife cold? Take her mind of the cold water and warm her up at the same time! Tell the next time she gets cold, just let you know!

To keep harmony in the home it is better not to tell her to "just deal with it". Try some empathy: "Boy, honey, I understand how you feel. Cold showers really are a bummer." And then just let it blow over.
Or, you could come clean and catch a little wrath, but that will blow over soon too. |

put a K-pot on her, and have her go out back and shower off with your garden hose. Then Remind her that there are people out there, spending Christmas in a hostile, foreign land with much more important things to worry about than hot water.

Next time she takes a shower, dump a bucket of ice water on her. Then refer back to the incident which occured today and calmly explain to her that no matter how bad things can seem at the time, it can always get worse.

Tell her you screwed up, and apologize for lying. Not like it will be big news to her.
Then stop lying to her. |

Depends on the kind of wife you have... Mine wouldn't give a shit. HOWEVER having been married before, I would recommend telling her the following. "I was cleaning the garage using the leaf blower and it must have caused the pilot light on the water heater to go out. It shouldn't have though, I've done the same thing a million times. So I contacted the gas company and they said that the PSI in the gas lines have been running about 40% lower lately due to excess strain on the system caused by the abnormally cold weather." Good luck buddy!

Shouldn't your wife have been using the leaf blower while your enjoying your much deserved evening away from working?

This is a very odd thread. My thoughts are this:
You are possibly trolling. You are VERY bored to bother posting this. Its odd that your wife would get pissed enough at you over somthing this trivial that you would feel the need to bother posting about it . Its very odd that you would deny what happened...you were fucking cleaning the house for goodness sake how can she be mad about that? If the same thing happened to me my wife would not be pissed...she would be concerned that somthing was wrong and would probably figure it out on her own and re-light the pilot. If she did get pissed for some reason I would think that she had completely lost it and explain to her that she could get glad in the same pants that she got mad in. My wife is used to that...I dont beat around the bush. She loves me anyway. [;)] Oh, and lol...you cleaned out the garage with a leaf blower...Ill remember that...yet another reason I need a leaf blower. |

Time to pull out the psy-ops. Go to any little arrangement of curios she has around the house and make some adjustments. Different positions, different orders and the like.
Flatly deny any knowledge...look at her like she's crazy. She'll be a babbling idiot soon enough. If that doesn't work? Go nuclear. Dutch oven time!!! Quoted: That's OK. She poured a pitcher of ice-cold water on me when I took a shower. |

Water heaters belong in a storage space inside the house, not in the garage!
Same goes for heaters. I lived in Military housing, when they remodeled the houses the put the water heater and the gas forced air heaters in the garage. in one house one of the adults had knocked into the return air plenum and had broken the seal. When the father went to work in the morning he would let his car idle in the garage for 10 minutes. Over a period of 14 days he had poisened his family to the point where they had to take the kids to a hospital. Same housing units about three months later, "BillyBob" was cleaning some of his cars parts in a pan with gasoline. In the garage was the water heater and the forced air furnace. The water heaters have automatic igniters when the water temp goes below a set point. BillyBob had just opened the side garage door to get some fresh air when the water heater went on. click-click-click-KABOOOB! One fried BillyBob, one destroyed garage. Quoted: Quoted: Admit nothing. Deny everything. Make counter accusations. I second that! I just want to add that if your water heater is in the garage it should be at least 18 inches off of the floor. This is so that the fumes from the paint and gasoline that are normaly kept in a garage that are heavier than air don't settle and get ignited by the pilot light.

Get a copy of the History Channel series on BUDS training, and show her what the SEALs have to put up with. Try to make her feel guilty.
Whenever my wife pulls this kind of crap, I remind her that when we first met she was real nice to me, and would do anything to please me. Man, those days are gone foreever. [:(] |

Yes it is. I'm surprised you would make the effort to search out this thread, when other, more appropriate threads were already on page one. You wanna vent, do it the easy way, same as everybody else. Locked as a troll.
