Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire strange things wives do....

When I replace the TP, my missus will re-install the roll so the paper comes out from the back instead of over the top.
Just a small idiosyncracy I've noticed.

You mean, it's not just a Southern hemisphere thing?!
I'm not alone!!!!

Mine has to have the house SPOTLESS, with freshly mopped floors etc whenever anyone comes over. Even if it is just a repairman or my gun nut buddies who wouldn't notice whether I even HAD a floor or not. And piles of stuff on a table? Fergitaboutit! All flat surfaces have to be free of debris, papers, motorcycle helmets, riding leathers, guns, ammo, you name it. EXCEPT, the cats pretty much live on the kitchen table as furry living centerpieces. Not anything to complain about at all, she is pretty danged cool and lets me have dead animal heads all over the living room walls and my own 'testosterone zone' bedroom that looks more like a war room or staging area for a battle of messy, disorganized firearms freaks. I am sure that my quirks are harder for her to handle and that I am the big winner in all of this.

OOps some how got side tracked....
What was the question???

Oh yeah, Love 'em in the slinky things! Mine actually shops at and buys stuff form Victoria's Secret and looks like the models that hawk thier stuff! She can have all of the cats she dang well wants! And I am TOTLALY OK with her 'claiming' various of my smaller handguns.

Me? I am quite happy to just sit around and drool with a silly stupid grin on my face most of the time

I am really good at saying 'yes dear' and 'that is quite allright' cause even when she is wearing clothes, I know that underneath all of those garments, there ain't no clothes! <G>

I once found a list my wife made of lists she needed to make. 180� from how I think. Of course I'm the one that always leaves something home, forgets something at the grocery, etc.

How did we get so off track on this. Its RAVENERS fault!

OK, back on topic, strange things they do.... WAIT a minute, I LIKE some of the strange things my wife does!... There I go again.... Somebody else post now, I have to go for a MC ride in the cold air now.

Leaving cleaning products lying around. Think she's trying to send me a message?

She's been doing the above since day 1 (it will be 31 years this summer). A shrink friend says that it's a control thing - "I want you to guess what it is that I want" and like little dogs, we do tricks until we guess the right one.

She has an intermediate location for recycle; it goes from the kitchen to the small wastebasket just outside the door to the garage, and when that's full the small container gets dumped in the large recycle bin on the other side of the garage. When I throw stuff straight in the large bin she looks at me like I've lost my mind. Coffee cups left sitting for over an hour can't be reused or refilled, they MUST be washed and placed in the dishwasher. Our top of the line dishwasher is only used as a sanitizer because the dishes are spotless when loaded. When she's away I use 1 coffee cup, 1 glass, 1 bowl, 1 plate, 1 knife, 1 fork & 1 spoon; it's hand washed and left to dry until the next meal.

My very favorite is how all the ornamental exercise equipment (ornamental because it's only decorative and not meant for actual exercise) becomes impromptu hangers for delicate clothes that can't be dried.

She says: "I make your life interesting"...and that'd be true.

Leaves lights on when she is not in the room, has been known to open the windows when the AC is on, but b!tches at me when I throw a plastic water bottle into the trash instead of recycling, because I'm screwing up the world. Also will drink half a water bottle, then let it sit, only to dump the rest prior to recycling. Oh well, love her anyway.

I'm not paranoid, but mine is perfect, and I think she's that way just to make me look bad.

All women and liberals do the same thing. It is a logic thing.

My wife does me. But I didn't think it was strange. Maybe she does however.

If she serves food to me, she makes sure all of it is touching, just because she knows it sets off my OCD. Hell, I was eating some dorito's one time, I ate all of the broken chips 1st. She noticed this, and as soon as I turned my head she smacked her hand down in the middle of my chips and broke the rest of them. Damn women!

THAT is FUNNY! LAffin out loud with ya.

She does it out of spite I tell ya.

I have a bit of OCD myself. I eat one item at a time then move on to another food item. Don't like to mix them up. And, I don't care for food with lots of different ingredients. Simple stuff for me.

I am the same way, only foods that can be mixed up are foods like soups, stews and sandwiches. I have actually sent food back at restaurant. Reloading I do everything step by step, and am one of those weirdo's that measure out every charge with my scale. Takes me longer, but I know my stuff will not blow up, unless I am really trying.

Setting the clock forward then using snooze multiple times.
Making sure the house is spotless if ANYONE is coming by.
Married me.

Oh gawd, Raeford and Safariman's wive are related to mine, they do the same stuff.
