VALENCIA, CA—When Nick Samuels took his wife out for their weekly date night on Monday, he was pleased to hear that she was flexible on restaurant destinations.
“Wherever you want, honey—I had a late lunch so I’m not too picky tonight.” Excited by his wife Nicholette’s flexibility, Mr. Samuels started rattling off local favorites, including a popular Texas-style BBQ joint, a Korean BBQ joint, and a burger place called Meats, Meats & More Meats. Early reports indicate that his wife was lying when she said “whatever you want” as she cut him off at the knees while they were still in the parking lot, insisting that she didn’t have a preference but she “had hoped for a vegetable or two.”
“What about that Italian place we love? The owner sometimes comes by to check on us – you like that, right?” Mr. Samuels had begun looking frazzled, according to eyewitnesses, as he had started driving but realized he still did not have a destination. His lying wife expressed concern about the indecisiveness, which sources say caused a panicked flurry of restaurant recommendations, ranging from Five Guys to Taco Bell and more.
At publishing time, Mr. Samuels could not be located for comment as he had pulled into a gas station to play Temple Run in the bathroom, leaving his wife with instructions to “text me when you decide on a place.”

He should have offered up Cracker Barrel. They have good veggies.
ROFL!
They didn’t go to Perfect Pan Pizza? They’re missing out. I wouldn’t hesitate and I wouldn’t care.
“I’m not really hungry. I’ll just order a dinner salad.”
Proceeds to eat half the sampler platter the kids and I ordered and kept snitching fries off my plate...
ah yes, the “ i dunno, you decide” ... an hour later, aftet 1/4 tank of gas spent, drove by all the restaurants, nope nope nope, end up at a 7-11, getting a sausage off the roller heater, an old cup of coffee, and a hershey bar!!
Where ever it was, afterwards is heard this from wife: “We should have gone to (fill in the blank)!”
Twice per month,y wife goes to a midmorning women’s Bible study and then goes out for lunch with some of them.
That’s the day I go to my favorite Chinese buffet.
Love it!
Big time control issue stuff.
Step 1: The wrong answer cannot be known until the man voices it. As soon as he has a suggestion, that’s the place that is a bad idea. Return to Step 1 unless Step 2 comes into play.
Step 2: if the wife voice an opinion: “How about Chinese?” the worst thing the man can do is agree. By agreeing with the idea of “Chinese food” he has taken ownership of this idea, which now must be identified as a “Bad idea”. Return to Step 1.
I generally push back against my wife’s idea — if it’s a good idea. If I actually want to eat there, I show great indecision and reluctance. She will then twist my arm and force me to agree to eat at the place that I want to eat at.
NOTE: This has also backfired — sometimes she will twist my arm and force me to agree to her suggestion ... and if I do, it becomes a “bad idea” and we go back to Step 1.
I can’t stand the deafening crowd noise in Cracker Barrel.
Fine. Text me when you decide. I'll be in this store's bathroom.
I hate having to push through the shop stocked to the gills with “country crap” and hoping neither I nor my brother knock over anything breakable. The waitresses are nice and I like their collards.
” The waitresses are nice and I like their collards.”
The waitresses have collards?
I never knew that. I guess I never noticed.
My ex did this all the time. I think it was a set up to reject my decisions and make me the bad guy.
Lol!
What? No gas station sushi?
dear reader, this was 1977!!
