Give him a spanking & a time out in the corner.

God willing we get pregnant...that's exactly where he's going along with the dog and two cats.

Now don't be cranky...

When we were younguns living in Milwaukee, WI, we had mucho FUns playing in the coal pile by the basement furnace.

Sounds like a good solution! You're lucky to have a basement. We don't have them here.

I have never laughed so hard, maybe we all need to go out for a drink or 5!

Yep.

Lets see, I think not putting something back "correctly" was probably my wifes biggest peeve. Example...

*crab makes snack puts cutting board back EXACTLY as it was*
wife "Why didn't you put the cutting board back where it was?"
crab "?????"
wife *turns cutting board approximately .0034 millimeters*
crab "sigh"
*wife rolls eyes*

Another one, when I get in bed, I'm in bed. I"m not getting out till I'm damn good and ready or hell freezes over and even then I'll try burrowing in deeper for a while to see if I can ride it out. Plays out like this....

wife "I think I hear a burgler"
crab "nah"
wife "maybe you should go look"
crab "if he comes up here I"ll shoot him then"
wife "I'll go look" *stomps out*
wife "it was just the cat"
wife "are you awake?"
*crab snoring, blissfully unaware he will not get lucky for a few days*

Women are sneaky though and they always manage to trick you somehow...
wife "I'm hungry"
crab "oh"
wife "I could go for one of those dill pickles"
crab "oh"
wife "would you go get me one?"
crab "I'm in bed"
wife " oh"
15 minutes later...
wife "All well, I was thinking of eating a pickle and then having sex but whatever"
crab "one of those big dills? I"ll be right back!"
*crab throws the covers and scores a pickle*
*wife chomps pickle*
crab "parle vous humina humina?"
wife "not now, I was in the mood before but it passed"
crab "sigh"

DH tends to just LEAVE his trash (empty cereal boxes, paper plates, wrappers, paper towels, etc.) in a pile. We have one of those waste bins built into the kitchen cabinet (which he hates) and it's too much trouble for him to pull out!
