I'm beginning to wonder what my wife is used for:

- I do all the cooking
- I do a lot of the heavy cleaning
- I work 9 hrs/day
- I take care of the finances
- I have a closer sexual relationship with Jergens than her...

Hmmmmm 😀

Same as my cats. To sit around and look pretty. At least my cats don't say "We need to talk" which translates to "I'm gonna chew your ass for the next 2 hours, and it'll continue on and off until further notice" with "further notice" being defined as "until death" :^D

We always cook together. It's a cheap activity that builds teamwork and can be fun.

Now my wife's mother on the other hand is quirky as hell and can be super obnoxious (but in a genuine I only want the best for you kind of way). Still drives me and my wife crazy though.

Haven't you heard? If you want to see what your wife will be when she grows up, Look at her mother. In my experience this has some truth. Maybe not absolute but a great deal.

God I hate that phrase "We need to talk".
 
Real life doesnt bother me so much.
TV I hate. Why is every female lead unable to be anything else besides quirky and neurotic? Is that how the networks see women?
Was just watching Samantha Who and while I love Christina Applegate she plays the most annoyingly quirky woman on the planet.

This is why I told my fiance that if she goes crazy at 35-40 it's over. =p

Standing around the water cooler this morning, we were all talking about our wives, and each one of us was able to spout off something instantly that was completely unreasonable about them. WTF is wrong with women?

- One mentioned their wife takes the batteries out of the remote controls when they're not in use.
- One won't allow their wireless router and DSL modem to stay on over night because it uses too much electricity.
- One throws away any food that is more than 1 day old in the refrigerator.
- One won't allow anything to sit on a table or counters. The poor guy has to charge his cell phone at work because it's not allowed to be on the counter while charging.

There were a good dozen or more of these stories. I think the penis releases hormones that level out your personality as you get older. The lack of one is making them go crazy 😕

People who take batteries out of the remote probably ought to be sent to an island without food or water.

4) Anal perfectionist
 
I know a couple who got married and moved into a condo together. She would not allow him to poop in the bathroom in their condo, she forced him to go downstairs to the fitness area and use the bathroom there and if we was going to pee in the condo bathroom, he had to sit so he didn't accidentally splash. 😵

Not surprisingly they divorced a year later, but amazingly they are now back together after two years apart!

Heh... my mother in law surprised me with a $100 Newegg gift card for my birthday. Things are looking good for me! 🙂
 
I have my wife beat on quirks probably 10 to 1. Mine make perfect sense to me, and I can even justify them with "logic", but they are still quirks that many others will find nuts.

Everyone got's their thing.

Everyone has similar ridiculous quirks, it's just very hard to identify your own. I guarantee your wife has the same conversation with her girlfriends about their husbands.

Oh I know I have them and it drives my wife nuts at times.

I just cannot stand drawers, cabinets or the toilet seat being partially/fully open.

It total OCD shit but it hate it and the worst part is she leaves stuff open or not fully shut constantly which just builds my hatred for it.

I realize it's pretty dumb to care about but it just bugs me.

My wife changed when she was on birth control but other than that I can't point to anything that stands out that's changed from when we met.

Bolded are legitimate, and a safety hazard. It pisses me off when people leave stuff open.
