Wife leaves half empty coffee various places bedroom, kitchen while getting dressed in the morning. This is not a big deal I just pick it up bring it into the kitchen but having help me if I happen to leave a cup or a bottle somewhere she acts like I am destroying the cleanliness of the house.
I solve the cleanliness of her car problem by taking her car to get washed because I don’t want to have to be in a car that’s a mess

Complains we don't have enough kitchen storage/space.

Takes up 1/3 of our counter space I could have appliances on and free up storage elsewhere, with decorative crap with no function. Then complains when I try and optimize counter space because things get too close together.

then show me the energy/water bill like it's my fault they're high.


Mine argued up and down in December that we had a water leak somewhere because water bill was 12 dollars more. I finally convinced her it was simply because

1. My best friend who moved out of state came home to visit friends and family for holidays for a week and I let him use the “mother in law apt” so he wouldn’t need a hotel. So for a week an extra person used a shower and bathroom

2. We had a hard freeze requiring us to run the faucets for a few days

She was about to call a plumber because she wouldn’t believe me. I finally convinced by turning off all faucets and showed her that water meter wasn’t turning so there couldn’t be a leak. Her response “hmph fine”

Oh and our backyard double gate sags some in the middle where the doors meet. I said it needs wheels to hold it up. She went to Lowe’s other day to pick it up while I’m work. En route gets a blowout, has to wait on roadside service at a sketchy dollar general. Goes to tire shop and the other rear tire is bad. Has to buy 2 tires that cost almost 1,000 dollars. She gets home and says here is the wheel the gate needs. She only bought one. Gate has 2 doors. I laugh and said you know we need two right?

I shouldn’t have laughed. Oof

5 tape measures in 2 years. I keep 2, one for inside and one for my tools in the garage. Both have disappeared at random. I’m on my 3rd set of those micro screwdrivers (ones for glasses or computers or the screw on battery covers).

Somehow when I go out of town for work, something always breaks on the first day that I’m gone.

We never leave on time. She can’t throw anything away because we might need it if the other one breaks.

If we take a one day family trip or a one week family trip, the back of the SUV looks like we are prepped for an apocalypse. It’s become an art to pack that thing.

I'm amazed at how much shite she can cram in every nook and cranny around the front passenger seat of my truck



Does she have emery boards stashed in the passenger door side pocket? Yep, mine does and will file on her nails as I'm driving down the road.

Mr. Cam
You had 69 up votes when I read your post and based on the content of your comment, there was no way I was going to change that to a 70.

This apparently triggers some antediluvian response in Mrs M causing her to ask me if she can borrow it. The item, once borrowed, is never seen again.


Maybe you should use a piece of wire cable and tie a 4' 2x4 to it.

Like gas stations used to do with the restroom key.

I think dishwashers cause more marital discord than any item in or outside the house.


I hate dishwashers. Wife uses it.

I wash and dry and put things up. I'd prefer to never open the dishwasher

It's been 5 months in the new house, I've never so much as touched a button on it.

I've complained a lot in this thread but I'm glad all of my complaints are petty. I'm honestly really lucky to have that woman in my life. She puts up with as much petty crap from me as I do from her.

I swear my wife leaves work and is thinking about turning the dishwasher on when she's driving home. She insists on running that sucker every damn day.

Women seem to not know a 2 second rinse of a dish saves the scrub later. Or telling me the dishwasher doesn’t work because it didn’t get the crusted ketchup off. Don’t even start about them not understanding how to load a dishwasher for efficiency.

Nah, been married for 4 decades.

Her, do you know where xxxx is?

Me, check the attic

Her, you check it

Me, I’m not looking for it, you want it, you look

Unless I want something, that’s pretty much how it goes.
