Stupid Pet Peeves

Neither my wife nor I like to cook, so we eat out way more than we should, hence the fact that I am a bit larger (read: a hell of a lot larger) than I would like to be. This is a compelling reason for me to find a second wife that can and likes to cook. I can work, my wife (#1) can clean and my wife (#2) can cook. We figure the rest out later.

FWIW my wife LOVES this idea. :)

Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper to just hire a cleaning service like Daisy Maids? A hell of a lot less nagging.

LOL....

here's a perspective from the other side

a (relatively minor) peeve:
When I cook dinner and my husband comes home and decides he wants something else. Now that the kids are out of the house and it's just the two of us, I almost never cook, unless I've cleared it with him in the morning.

But there were many times, even when the kids were young, when I'd have something all prepared (or at least underway) and he'd come in, ask what's for dinner, express some disappointment at the answer, and suggest either going out or getting take-out. Typically it would occur when he'd get a craving for something in the middle of the day, and there'd be no talking him out of it.
He'd always say (whatever I was making): "That tastes better the next day anyhow"

After a while, I'd learn to watch for certain clues in the morning that might indicate that he already had something in mind for supper and call him at work in the middle of the day before I'd plan to start cooking. That didn't completely solve the issue, but it did help.

As far as house keeping goes, he does nothing. He did cut the grass when we first moved into the house but when the lawn mower went kaput, we hired a service. He's always been ok with our having a cleaning lady so that helps too. Plus he's not fussy and can usually live with a bit of clutter, and if anything, tends to get annoyed when I complain about his stuff lying around.

I was pretty much a stay-at-home mom for years, though I did a bit of occasional free-lance work, and also a lot of volunteering at the schools and in the community so I was out of the house quite a bit. And I always loved spending time with the kids and taking them to the zoo, museums, and all sorts of "field trips" - so that kept us busy.

I would consider that extremely rude. No matter what my wife makes for dinner, I eat it without showing my disdain for it. It doesn't matter if it's frozen corn dogs for the third night in a row or a meal that got ruined/burnt, down the gullet it goes. I recognize she put forth an effort while dealing with a basketball team of kids (likely screaming/crying) and deserves the reward of me showing appreciation. Plus, I want to help my kids learn to eat what's in front if them, regardless of what it is.
 
My biggest pet peeve of late if people bringing their dogs to the grocery store. And even worse, store employees looking at the dogs and playing with them. In one instance there was a dumb stoner looking dude that had 6-8 month old lab puppy in the cart. The dog was filthy and had mud all over it's paws. My food goes in that cart and there should not be some poop eating, ball licking, dirt digging, fur shedding animal in the cart that people put food in. I don't care how much of a family member you think your dog is, THEY DO NOT BELONG IN GROCERY STORES!!

Completely with you on this one. I like animals but I don't need to be around them in places where there is food

We would make a law to euthanize them but our pet shelters are full so we wouldn't have a place to transplant the innocent animals.
 
I have decided that being in a relationship isn't for me. I'm never happy after the initial high is gone, and my 6 years of marriage were some of the worst in my life. It is sad because I really like kids and would have liked to raise a couple, but I think I like singlehood more. This thread just confirms that I made the right choice. :D
 
People that duck while they move in front of you at church, a theatre, or football game or whatever. I mean, I'm sure they are trying to be nice, and maybe I'll miss something special by the split second your blocking my view, but when you duck I'm looking at your stupid butt walking around like the hunchback of Notre Dame for way longer than I would've had my view blocked. In fact, I pretty much keep following you until you're out of sight completely. Just moving quickly is the better route.

Actually, they should keep doing it. It's more entertaining than whatever I'm watching usually anyway. Just annoying.

That's kind of sad and true at the same time. No kids, though? Bad choice.
