Stupid Pet Peeves

[Siro]

Wait a minute. Your husband is physically capable of doing physical labor and he doesn't shovel the snow? WTF?
I do physical labor and my wife doesn't even know where the snow shovel is. I can guarantee she doesn't know how to start the weed eater or lawn mower.
Plus, I do the dishes EVERY NIGHT.

I just pay people to do this peasant work.

Well, to be fair, he works for the postal service. Last time it super snowed was over the holidays and he was working a crap load of overtime and lucky to get one day off, and I imagine after hucking around packages (literally, they aren't gentle) all day, he didn't have much desire to come home and throw around snow...now though, hours are back to normal so it's just a ploy because he wants a snow blower. I have never mowed the lawn, one day I thought I'd do it to be nice, I used to do it as a teenager for my mom, but I couldn't start the stupid thing, so I can say he's good about doing that.

I'll kind of maybe give him a pass. I'm an electrician and I'm on my feet all day going up and down stairs and ladders, pulling wires, working on lights with my hands and arms above my head all day. A man gots to do what a man gots to do.

But in seriousness, whatever works for you guys works. Get yourself a snowblower and have fun. Just remember not to stick your hand down in it to clear it while it's running.

Well, your majesty, if I we're single I would have the budget to do that too. But I've got a stay at home wife and 5+ kids. That's a long way out of the budget.

I was kidding. Just wanted to fantasize about being that rich for a bit.

After I win the powerball this weekend it won't be a fantasy.

WTF is a weed eater? You mean a weed wacker?

I'm assuming we're talking about the same thing.

I grew up calling it a weed eater.

That ****'s a weed wacker bro. No one calls it a weed eater. No one. 'Cept you and yours.

How do you know? I Googled "weed eater" and 4 of the first 5 images were of some variation of this exact thing. Maybe you and yours are the odd ones.

It's a Southern thing, I think. When I lived in Virginia, it was often called a weed eater.

Maybe? You've seen my posts over the years, right?

That only strengthens my position that you are the odd one.
