Volkski Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 I had another beauty this morning: Me: Shout downstairs "Have you finished straightening your hair?!" Her: "........... oh yeah" Me: "It's not a case of 'oh yeah', get your ass back up here and switch them off or you can phone the insurance company and explain why there's black smoke coming from our house!" Sometimes I feel like I'm looking after a child. She made tea the other night and then left the oven on. I got home 3 hours later to a very very hot kitchen. QUOTE] who threw a bucket of varnish at a wall with good reason!?QUOTE] Sounds like you need an anger managment course. Theres no good reasons for throwing things about just because some has expressed an opinion. Are you also not able to switch something off yourself, even if its your girlfriend whos left something on. A gentle reminder when you came downstairs along the lines of 'hey honey you've left you hair straightners on again. But I've switched them off for you' whould surely build a better relationship, rather than you just yelling at her again. I'm surprised she's not walking out! 3
Rydra Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 The wife was making a dent in the ironing pile over the weekend, and managed to burn a hole in my best pair of work trousers (they were the newest, and most comfortable ones!). Apparently the iron caught on it somehow. But when she leaves something on like that, I generally respond sarcastically along the lines of "So you didn't want these curtains then?" "What?" "Well you left the hardryer in the windowsill and then closed the curtains over them. For future reference, if you want to replace the curtains, just do so. No need to set fire to the house to prove you don't want them anymore." 1
docboggle Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 There was a chap I worked with in a previous job that I had to explain that stars are a VERY long way away, and you won't hit them if you were just to go up in a shuttle. He was convinced they were just hanging above the Earth and you would have to be very careful not to hit one! 2
contink Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 To balance out the dumbass comments... My own personal, DIY favourite was when I berated my wife for not turning off her hair straightners for the 15th time only to have her walk downstairs from my den/workspace in the attic to casually mention the big pile of hot glue on my keyboard... I'd left the glue gun plugged in, moved it and then gone downstairs... Glass house? what glass? 1

mrbios Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 My better half asked me if denmark was in europe, this was right after being totally confused as to why they were calling the netherlands holland while watching the world cup, geographically she's not that bright at all. She also didn't "get" shrek, yes shrek, shes ok with finding nemo though ....... 1

My other friend and I looked at each other, then the shop and asked why? "Cos you just cant, you know, wierd and that.." to which it suddenly dawned on us that he had confused Homosapien with Homosexual! 1

creese Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Reminds me of a certain colleague suggesting applying UB-40 to a squeaky door hinge! A drop of red red wine would also do the job. Drink a bottle and you wouldn't notice the squeak 1
