Things Our Wives Do That Drive Us Crazy!!

My wife can't load the dishwasher for sh*t. It's like she doesn't even try to maximize the space, she just tosses it all in there in any willy-nilly any random way she can. Annoys the hell out of me that I have to take the time to completely reorganize it. I'd rather her just not "help."

 

The thing that completely drives me crazy is she insists on putting chop sticks into the silver wear compartment despite the fact that they slide though and hit the bottom of the dishwasher. So when you go to pull the drawer out it gets stuck on the chop stick, sometimes breaking it, and often times throwing the drawer off the track. I've almost lost the entire lower drawer of dishes onto the floor a few times as the drawer went off the track due to a chop stick.

 

And no, we don't use chop sticks that often, but we'll order Chinese every 3 or 4 weeks and without fail, no matter how many times I ask her not to do it, she puts the f$&%*ing chop sticks in the silver wear drawer! And yeah, it just happened a few moments ago, so its' fresh in my mind and this is the first place I thought of to vent.

If i step over something on the stairs, and continue to walk upstairs without taking whatever it is, she flips out as if I purposely step over it. Like I'm supposed to know that anytime something is placed on the stairs it is there for me to take up?!? We have 3 kids and there is always crap lying around.

This is my mother. She scatters like 5 things in the dishwasher and thinks it's ready to run. She freely admits that she is bad at loading the dishwasher.

Ha!! I just throw stuff in the dishwasher because I know my wife is just going to rearrange everything properly.

 

I also have to say that after reading this thread I'm one lucky guy.

 

I've asked my wife if she did it intentionally knowing I'd come along behind to fix it. She swears she doesn't...but I have my doubts.

My wife is great at loading the dishwasher, or packing the car, or anything else. So good, in fact, that I generally just put stuff behind her SUV before we leave on a trip. I get tired of loading it just fine, then having it all torn out and re-loaded to perfection. On a related note, I tried making the bed early in our marriage, then took a sabbatical for about a decade as I got sick of it not being good enough. We're older now and I've worn her down, she just appreciates any help I give even it it falls short of perfection. These OCD tendencies she freely admits to, and it works for her!

I don't even put dishes in the dishwasher. They go straight in to the sink.

 

Then every couple of months when my wife complains I don't put dishes in the dishwasher, I'll say "But I don't have to, they somehow, mysteriously, just make their way to the dishwasher all on their own."

Too bad she would be very active in the "husband pet peeves" thread

Do you have the magic table also?

It's funny how much of this **** seems to cut across the entire female species.

My wife keeps buying all that MacKenzie-Childs stuff. The checkered pattern. We have a chair that no one sits on, all the platters and serving bowls, picture frames, a wall clock, a coffee canister, a dog water/food bowl and a mat to go underneath. I'm only naming half the s$$t.

 

I don't care about the money, and I couldn't care less about the way my house is decorated. I just think it's getting to be a bit much. The checkers are everywhere.

 

Are you living in the Syracuse area? I'm suspicious that you and I might be married to the same woman.

 

My house is top to bottom with that stuff. It is pretty expensive but luckily she got most of at their big yearly barn sale or as wedding gifts.

We live in Vermont now, but we spend a couple weeks every summer in my home town, Auburn.

 

She gets a lot of the stuff at the barn sale every year, but my Mother is also addicted and buys us MC stuff all the time. Again, WTF do I care about how the house is decorated? But the place has so much checker pattern going on, I'm about to open a gelato shop in the guest bedroom.

Did you manage to finally evict the junkies who were squatting in there?
