We started talking about this topic on another thread and I figured this deserves its on thread.
My wife will drive home with the fuel light on and use up the lawn mower gas. We live at least 5 miles from the closest gas station so why would you drive home on empty??? in an effort to keep my sanity the vehicle before this was an Excursion 7.3 diesel and I filled it up at the house. I bought her this vehicle just because of this fuel issue, and for six or seven years she never put fuel in a vehicle. The Excursion has a 50 gallon tank so I only had to worry about it every couple weeks. She complained about driving a big 4x4 diesel Excursion the entire time and it was loaded to the max. So I get her an Escalade with some stipulation " you must keep it clean, and keep fuel in it ". Ten months later you could fill a shop vac with candy, old chicken nuggets, toys, clothes, etc. I asked her about her promise and she tells me its the kids fault. Now I could go into the whole (you are the parent why don't you control the kids ) but this will start an argument that I cant win, even if I do win I still lose and nothing will change anyway.
Moving your stuff: I have a place I put my stuff, its the same every day. Walk in unload ( wallet, snuff, keys, phones, gun, sunglasses ) She will move my stuff, I will go to put on my flipflops and they are gone, put in a dip and my spit cup is gone, go to change the channel and the remote is gone. "Oh I bought a chair caddy and that's all in there now, I bought a shoe tree for the door, etc". Total I have like 10 things that I like to have left alone, don't move my snuff, wallet, keys, gun, sunglasses, shoes, remote. The only area I have managed to keep control of after 16 years of marriage is the garage and now she has taken control of my new Zero turn mower.
She parks in the garage! She has run into the drywall so many times I gave up on repairing it. An older gentleman passed on some old man wisdom to me and it worked like a charm. I hung a string from the ceiling of the garage and tied a plastic bottle to the string. When the bottle touches her windshield ( STOP )
Don't misunderstand, my wife is great there is no doubt that she got the raw deal. She is a very hard worker, a great mother, great wife. I am not complaining I simply find these little things that make up a marriage funny.
