Some things hit waaaay too close to home!

I worked for a guy whose wife was like this. It was a small construction company and we were going to a job site about 45 miles from town. He got a call from his wife on the two-way, she said he forgot to take out the garbage. This task is simply taking a can of garbage from the home to the curb.

He dropped us off at the worksite, then quickly sped back to town to take out the garbage.

There was always something like this going on for us workers to be amused over.

At publishing time, sources said Dave could be heard trying to "sneak" away to use the restroom before Danielle asked him how long he was planning on being gone, as the garbage needed to be taken out.

Dave's not here man

A Marine told me this years ago:

“Always walk and act like you’ve got sh*t to do, and nobody fuc*s with you.”

It works, but not with a Wife. They’re immune.

[Tell It Right]

Dave is not handling this situation the smart way. He should pretend he's asleep on the couch. When the wife calls out to him louder he should snore. When she comes to shake him awake he should pull her onto the couch with him.

Either he'll get what all men want, or she'll quit bugging him. It's called a win-win situation.

Weird how single women can take cans from their house to the curb, but married women can’t.

Your coworker suffered from an ailment.....it’s called being pu**y whipped.

Wait, what?

Q1. She did the shopping?
Q2. She bakes bread?
Q3. She thanked him?
Q4. She cooks?

If Danielle is going to be a real shrew, she needs to stop doing those things, and have Dave either do those things, or hire them out.

J/K.

And the sound of There’s Something She Wanted Him To Do should trigger an automatic “not now dear” and “please make me a sandwich”.

[Raycpa]

Possible “taking out the garbage” was code?

[redfreedom]

Not with this woman.

[V_TWIN]

I’m not sure girls belong on this thread 😁

[V_TWIN]

Heard that....still drinking my coffee this morning and hadn’t even had breakfast yet and my wife hits me with “You ARE going to weedeat the backyard today right?” 😏

[Lakeside Granny]

Best post yet!🤣

[Opinionated Blowhard]

LOL. On a related note, we have a young friend who just turned 40 who grunts or groans every time he gets up or sits down. We tease him that he is officially old because of it and he doesn’t take too kindly to the teasing.

Build a man cave, lock it, don’t answer calls from wife.

“The disposal’s clogged!”

Which is why I keep a vivacious 31 year old woman on speed dial for various “maid” services.

One of the Bee guys must have got married.
