This has nothing to do with that thread, but, have you ever just been sitting there watching TV or on yer comp or whatever, and yer wife starts talking or ask a question about something that is of no relevance to any thing and is just one of the most retarded things you have ever heard....and you just look at her with the "WTF:confused:" like some alien just asked you in a foreign language to solve a mathmatical problem that is wrote in hieroglyphics and just say to her, "what?".

wow, my wife just called me in the middle of typing this and asked,

wife: What version of IE are we running?
me: .....................what?
wife: does it matter what version of IE we have?
me: ...............wtf are you talking about woman?
wife: i'm doing this thing and it says i need the latest version of IE.
me: uh.....wtf are you trying do?
wife: i need to order this stuff for my candlelite party stuff.
me: we have the latest version.
wife: ok, love you bye.
me: love you to, bye.
wife: oh, you care if i get my hair cut tomorrow?
me: .....sure

so, in conclusion, explain what you are trying to do before you ask a question and put what you are talking about in order. dont ask the point of something when you havent explained what is going on.

some of the crap my wife says/asks is just so freaking hysterical i cant contain myself.
 

My gf refuses to talk about politics with me. We always end up screaming at each other. I come from a very liberal family, and hers is very conservative. :)

First of all, she called you because she had a question you piece of crap. Women do that. If they aren't sure, they ask. The problem is the men that give their woman, who should be the most important thing in their life, a hard time for such a simple question, as you have proved.

this is true...all she did was asked a simple question

now if she had you called out of an important meeting to ask you about the price of rice in china...and you asked why, and got the response "i dunno, i was just wondering" then that might be understandable

My wife believes I am psychic and can discern the beginning of the story that she began in the middle. She also ends the conversation berfore the end believeing, once again, that I am paychic an will somehow know the outcome.

It quit bothering me years ago. I just nod my head and say "Yes Dear." :)

It keeps her happy, me sane and peace in the family. ;)

Thank you, that is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe next time, she'll ask the really sweet and sensitive guy that she met at the grocery store. He does'nt make her feel like an idiot he makes her feel special and worthwhile....

She's your wife, that automatically means you treat each other with respect!

no i dont give her a hard time about it, what i was getting at, is that my wife asks things with out explaining what is going on, like would you want to know why yer wife is asking that? is she somewhere she shouldnt be? does this mean that when i get home i have more spyware to find? is she DLing something that shouldnt be DLed? those are question that need answered. so for that i'm a piece of crap.

She is the most important thing in my life along with my daughter, i'm guessing you dont have to deal with this on a day to day basis. all i was wondering is if anybody elses wife does the same thing. you are too quick to judge. i hate judgemental ppl.

You need to listen to your wife then, since she's right. :D

my wife is techie enough to not ask such questions. She does talk to me when I'm concentrating on the PC for something and I zone her out... sorry can't help it... I was doing the other thing first and I like to finish what I start.

Dude, lighten up. Learn to trust your wife. Just give her the information she needs to know, and then ask why, if you must.

Why are you worried about spyware and stuff? You should already have your computer protected from all that, and if it's not, it takes like 5 minutes to clean up.

It's also important to develop your speech buffer... so that when she's yammering on about something and you're barely paying attention because it's some trivial matter that she's worked up about and says "You're not even listening to me" you can recite her last couple sentences verbatim to prove that you are listening (even though you're not really).

This has to be the lamest wife gripe I've ever heard. I'm not sure how I'm suppose to conclude that you're the victim of the 'crazy woman' from that conversation.

VERY important ... and the worst part is that I know she does it too!

I hate the long explanations.

Her: Honey, so yesterday I was shopping at the mall, because I needed new shoes. Macy's had a sale, so me and Marcy decided to go. Well, we ran into Sarah there, remember her? She is the girl you met at Bob's birthday.... <the story goes on for 10 more minutes> ... so, yeah it's Marcy's sister's birthday this sunday and we probably should go.

Me: Couldn't you just say it's Marcy's sister's birthday this weekend, without the setup?
Her: Throws a pillow at me.
