OMG! The Doghouse really exists!

Some women would actually appreciate a vacuum.

I remember my father getting my mom a very nice cookbook (along with several other nice gifts and a diamond necklace), and she went on a rampage you wouldn't believe!

Are you telling me I can't cook?

We'll eat out from now on!

How noble of you.

I'll be sure to buy two of them to make up for it.

Yup!

Just before he could finish his sentence she presented him a nice X-mass card, and in it read I Want a divorce and 1/2 of everything you own

 
I married a practical woman. While my wife appreciates personal gifts such as jewelry, if I were to spend $1000 on a ring, vs $1000 on products for around the house, I pretty sure she'd prefer the latter. If I were to spend $300 on her for Christmas, I'm 100% certain she'd rather have a nice $150 pressure canner, and $150 necklace or something, rather than a $300 piece of jewelry.

fwiw, why the double standard? Women find it perfectly okay to get power tools for men, but we're not allowed to get them a really nice vacuum cleaner? (I don't mean to sound sexist by stereotyping the two different roles in a household, but that stereotype is still quite often true.)
 
DrPizza,

The difference is that while power tools are tools, we still have some kind of enjoyment from using them. Vacuuming is not fun.
 
Like I said in that other place we co-mingle:

I once gave the wife a pair of earrings in a handheld mixer box. :evil:

A few tense moments later I told her she needed to look in the box. :laugh:

The relationship between a man and power tools is different than between a woman and vacuums.

We like power tools. We like to have excuses to use our power tools.

Vacuuming is just another shitty chore.

I just celebrated my 7 year wedding anniversary. I am pretty sure you have been married longer than that.

But I'll say this to you... "Rationality is irrelevant when it comes to The Wife"

hahahaha, mine got her ring in a pair of pink slippers. She was about to throw the slippers at me and at that moment I had to stop her because the ring was tied to a ribbon on the slippers.

my ex asked for a good vacuum for 3 years, the first 2 my dad talked me out of it, despite me telling him she asked for one. i finally got her one, she was very happy. it was kind of funny to see the family faces that had told me i was doomed for it.
 
Great vid! I LOL'd a few times... and we can all pretty much relate.

I put my foot in my mouth daily - still workin on it.

I had to earlier, because of a conversation we were having where I am "wrong" and she is "right". I almost made the mistake of being a smart ass and starting saying something starting with "yeah well since it's all my fault anyways...", but thought about it before I did.
