I think everyone on this board is married to the same woman.
Well they all seem to have the same tendencies, much like men do.
Mine it isn't so much the living room as it is the bed. She's usually hanging out in the bed, and I'll finish up getting the kids in bed and turn on the dishwasher and finally sit in the bed beside her, and she needs her water refilled, or me to hand her something from the kitchen or bathroom. Every now and then if I'm cranky I'll throw back something like "are your legs not working" but most of the time I head it off by asking if she needs anything before I sit down. She's finally realized to ask for anything when she sees me walk in the room, most of the time. I don't mind since I'm still up and walking around, but every now and then it happens after I'm starting to settle in.
What's even worse is she will sit there silently, until I get up to use the bathroom or grab something then ask. I've been sitting here with you for a half hour or more and you couldn't get up just once and get something for yourself? And she wonders why she's having trouble losing that last 10 lbs or so while I've hit my goal weight on the diet we are doing together.

I've always accused mine and my kid of doing this on purpose because if not how could they need something every time as soon as the cloth of my chair touches my arse.
I can stand up or walk around for five hours but if I ever sit down within a nano second something has to be done or the entire world is going to explode.

I will try to talk to mine about my day/hers after work and she will say not now I’m busy doing laundry, dishes, etc.
And then as soon as I go find a game or something to watch on tv she comes in the living room trying to talk to me and I have to mute the tv. And God forbid if I look at the tv and not her while she is talking

Yes, the ex-wife!
No, the current wife!

what's especially infuriating is when you're already sitting down and she walks past her phone on the table to sit down with you then askes you to go get her phone.

No truer words have been spoken before.
She will wait until I am deep into a TV program or something then try to talk to me and get pissed when I ask her to repeat herself.

Not really. But she has been known to start talking to me when I'm walking away and usually 15+ ft. away to where I really can't hear her since my back is turned.
She also likes to talk to me when I'm in the middle of a TV show I like. Depending on how interesting the show is, I'll either pause it until she's done, or just give her the stink-eye until she gets the hint and leaves me alone.

You should find somewhere to hide.
Every man needs a man cave.
I ignore mine when she does that shite. If she gives me one thing to do and I go do it and comes up with something else after I sit down, aint frickin happenening.
Eta: review the commic skit called "the nothing box." Sums this up perfectly. I send it to my wife periodically to keep her self conscious about it.

Like most women, my wife has the ability to make a short story long. After a few minutes of listening, then fast forward to pretending to listen, I finally get my fill and ask her for the "Cliff Notes" and just hit on the main points. I don't need every "I" dotted and "T" crossed to follow the conversation.

Tough to swallow pill:
Anyone that is constantly asking/telling you to do things for them thinks you're there to serve them.
Ive only been hitched for 2 years. This was one of those things that I was warned about. My strategy is you be BLUNT.
"hey im trying to decompress a bit. If there are things you want help getting done, write them down and WE will knock them out at the same time on Tuesday after work. I won't spend my Sunday working here".
You'll get shocked face followed by silence.

My wife goes "youre not even listening"
I promptly summarize the shite she just said
She gets mad because I am listening
Marriage is awesome
Eta: men's brains vs women's brains - the nothing box
Send this to your wives. It is fantastic.

I suffer from selective hearing in those situations.

No but the second we sit down our dog goes to the back door to go out. Without fail. Every time.
