WTF is wrong with wifes????

[Fritzo]

My son came up to my in a panic today. "Dad...I need your help!" I was cutting the grass at the time, so I flipped off the mower and walked over to the door to see what was up.

"My XBox won't start anymore!" I went over to take a look, and sure enough, it's got a red light that shows up when it starts (this is the old XBox version). I told him it looks like it's dead. The look on his face broke my heart.

Anyway, I whispered in my wife's ear as I was leaving for work that I was going to pick him up an Xbox 360. She said "OK", and I left for work. Once at work, I checked my mailbox and saw I got some 10% off coupons for Best Buy + I have some Reward Zone cash stored up, so I ran over and picked up the Xbox 360 and some games (totalled about $500 + 6 mos. same as cash).

I called my wife to tell her, and now she's ticked that I spent $500 without telling her. WTF??? I DID tell her! I'm in trouble because I tried to do something nice!

One of these days I'm going to have to get one of those marriage manuals to see how the heck these things are supposed to work, because I'm not doing it right.

why are you complaining, did that surprise you?

 

[Scouzer]

She probably didn't actually hear what you said and just did an ignore OK (I do this all the time)...

 

[pontifex]

um...she probably didn't realize it was that expensive?

 

[ObiDon]

will you adopt me? i'm small and i don't eat much.

 

[waggy]

no you are doing it right. you mentioned it to her and either she did not pay attention or had no clue how much it cost.

so this gives her a reason to bitch her out. I think women look for reasons. if they don't bitch every now and then they blow up or something.

this morning i went to the store quick for some iced tea and something to eat for breakfast...asked my wife if she wanted a doughnut, or a cinnamon roll...she said no thanks.

i come back, she asks where her doughnut is.

"dont you know by know, when i say no, it means yes?"

 

[BoomerD]

Put it away and tell her it's his X-mas present?

 

[KK]

*****

hmmm...I guess that's not allowed here, it started with dh, and ended with ita.

 

[Braznor]

Yes means No, No means Yes, Maybe means definitely No.

By the time they get a manual printed, it's so far out of date that you're hosed again anyway. I've been married since about the 3rd fucking grade, and everytime I finally figure out all the answers...they change the questions...

Just give her some sex.

Nope, you didn't tell her you were spending $500, you told her you were buying an XBOX 360. Communication man, communication!

 

[ObiDon]

if you don't know why she's mad, she shouldn't have to tell you!

 

[allisolm]

What does any of that have to do with writing wifes, which isn't even a word?

???????????? That's what the damn things cost! If she was unsure she should have asked "How much are they???"

I'm sorry, but she's the bad guy here, not me. So - ppppppfffffftttttttttt

Because I wanted to bait the spell nazis.

She probably didn't realize how much it was going to cost.

You should be happy she has so much trust in you she wouldn't bother questioning your purchases. Too bad she was wrong.

How old is your son, and what has he done to earn $500 worth of toys?

divorce her. find someone more reasonable, and SANE. she'll only get worse as time goes by.

think prettier. younger.

edit:
and what does this post have to do with multiple wives?
