Be that as it may, yuk.

Thinking fast, I leaned into the dishwasher, and let loose with a massive, gale-force sneeze. Why not? I was planning on loading it with detergent and running it in a few minutes anyway. One would think that my wife would congratulate me on my MacGyver-like improvisation skills, not to mention recognize the environmental bonus of not wasting a tissue. But no, I got treated to another "what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-you?" lecture.

I asked her why she didn't object last week when pretty much the same thing happened while I was loading laundry into the washing machine. Turns out she didn't know about that. Whoops.

There are a LOT of crappy husbands out there. Us good ones are sorely underappreciated.

Just know that you're not alone. I still haven't learned that when my wife places something at the bottom of the stairs that she wants me to haul it up the stairs, and same for things she places at the top of the stairs. She gets after me about it quite often.

We just did taxes and of course my job is to keep the baby happy while the grown ups talk and I over hear I'm being claimed as "head of household", ever since then when she tries to get on my case I say "I'm head of household not you", not sure how long that's going to work but as of now it makes her laugh.

I do the same thing and my husband doesn't get it either, lol! It's a very simple idea and very efficient. What's so difficult about it?

It's no more complicated than understanding that when your husband yells "Catch!", the response "No." is not suitable, since whatever it is you're supposed to be catching is already en route.

LOL! Why are you throwing things at your wife?

Speed, efficiency, that sort of thing. Usually it's in response to something like "Have you seen the checkbook?"

I once made the suggestion that since I was taking the full bag of garbage out of the can, stuffing a few more things into it, tying it up and walking it out to the garbage can outside, maybe she could put the new empty garbage bag into the now empty can?

You'd think I'd have kicked the dog.
