You learn to deal with them, because if you don't. You'll never have peace and you'll never be happy.

You have enough clothes ... ok

Don't ask if you don't what to know. It ain't the dress making your butt look big.

If I said I would do it, I'll do it ... stop nagging me. I'll just put it off longer.

Don't ask "What's that suppose to mean?" It's means what I said.

Don't tell me you don't care were we go, then not want to go were I chose to go. Then I ask were you want to go, and you still don't care were we go as long as it's not there ... and repeat.

Pick up your stinking panties.

Ok I'm done now ....

That's why we're not divorcing over it I guess it's probably just as annoying to ask someone where they want, and not get an answer.

Remote freak, and when I hear something I want to watch I will sit down and pop, the channel will change. I laugh, we have more than one tv and he likes tv more than I do. My husband is pretty close to perfect, and the parts that are not perfect are the reason I love him so much.

But don't get me started on the ex.............I blanked out those years anyway.

You are correct Ma'am it is EXTREMELY annoying to ask someone where they want to go and get an "I don't know ... or I don't care ..." they when you pick something all of the sudden they have an opinion.


Here's how it goes ...

Me: What you want for dinner?
Her: I don't care ...
Me: OK, we're going to (Insert any place here)
Her: Oh, I don't want to go there ...
Me: Well, were do you want to go?
Her: I don;t know.

and it's goes on like this until we're driving somewhere and I get aggravated and pull into the first place I see, we're eatin' here ... like it or starve!

Her: Looks nasty.
Me: (runs screaming through traffic pulling out what little hair I have left.)

Ain't marriage grand!

OMG! My hubby & I play that game at dinner! Only it's:
Me: What do you want for dinner?
Hubby: I don't know; make anything.
Me: Do you want me to make this?
Hubby: No, we just had this.
Ne: Do you want me to make that?
Hubby: No, we just had that.
Me: Well, then I'll just make the other thing; we haven't had that in a while.
Hubby: I don't want the other thing. I don't like it or it's not what I'm in the mood for.
AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

I have a little story. When my EX and I started dating, we would go out to dinner every Friday and dancing every Saturday (all that changed BTW). One Friday, I said "let's go to this outdoor "chic" cafe/restaurant down by Brickell. So we start on our way and he would not, repeat, would not make the left turn I told him to make. He then got so lost, and I was so disoriented from all the wrong turns that somehow we ended up totally out of the area and did start to find our way back to where we started - HOME. We ended up going to this chinese buffet near my house (BIG difference from where we set out to go to) and we were both really pissed.

Long story short. We never, ever in 5.5 yrs of togetherness, went to a Chinese restaurant again NOR did we ever go to the one in Brickell.

Biggest thing that upsets me with my husband; in his opinion he can analyze and see things better than anyone. He always thinks he's right and most of the time he knows what he's talking about but sometimes he's way out there and still thinks he's right.

I have learned to ignore him when he gets this way. I would say he's to judgemental.

I've never been married. Probably because I annoy men.

I haven't had a significant other in over a year. Probably because I annoy men.


I'm not sure if it's my need to play Sid Vicious singing "My Way" followed by Sinatra singing the same - hey, it's F-U-N, fun!

The 87 bottles of hair conditioner I keep within reach in the shower - I need those!

That 1/2-case of Goldwell Icelandic Blonde haircolor bottles underneath the sink - I don't want to run out. What if there's a cyclone & the beauty supply shop blows away!

The 55 bottles of Welsh water I have to keep in the fridge - it's supposed to be cold, sheesh!

My need to eat French fries with tobasco sauce at midnight - sorry, I'm not hungry until midnight

My need to sleep until 11am on weekends - I'm like a teenager when it comes to sleep

My unbearably strong, black coffee that could make a redwood tree limp in an hour - I make Starbucks proud... probably as I spend close to $1K/mo in their stores

My need to laugh out loud & often, no matter where I am - despite the eyerolls & shameful looks from little old ladies

My elevator phobia - okay, got me there

My high-pitched screech at the sight of a spider - please don't tell me I'm the only one who thinks they're enormously scary looking!

Or, the fact that I talk to the neighbor's cats - kittens are people, too!

...but I'm pretty sure, I'm relegated to a hermit's life.


Besides, Al Pacino never returns my phone calls & that's probably the real reason I'll never be married... VV
