But it seems awfully idiotic for someone to claim that they're being seen as useless because they're over 40

Well said, but alas I am the exception. I am over 40..only 4 years from an AARP card which I would burn of course, but I am utterly useless I confess.

In the eyes of my wife, I too am useless. I quickly learned that by blotching the various task delegated to me by the house Nazi, I could get out of them. It only takes a few plates stacked in the cabinet with gobs of food still affixed to them to get off of the "dishes list". The same goes for the the "trash taker outer list", the "hang this picture list", and the "can you run to the store list". Of course, I'm only kidding.......I need to get back to the dishes now.
