[Closed] Apparently I'm in the wrong, again

Suck in your stomach.
Pull out your waistband.
Look down.

Can you see dangly bits?

Yes = you are [i]always[/i] wrong.

What was the movie?

I guess that's the way it is. I have to say, I read the 'your job' thread giggling.

Mrs Wookie does it in cinemas too, not realising that hers is the only face lit up like a lantern. gets annoyed when I laugh at her getting into trouble for it.

Daughter just came downstairs and apologised, but then tried to justify being on her phone since she woke up. In the next breath she's telling me about how her thumbs ache and can't figure out why.

I'm just going to go to sleep, get up silly early tomorrow and go for a ride.

edit: the movie was snow white and the huntsman. really didn't need distractions for that, it's hard enough paying attention in any case.

At least they had the manners to stay engrossed in their phones. GF always comes back into the film 3/4 of the way through then proceeds to ask lots of questions coz she doesn't understand whats happening >.>

Phones in the cinema is a deal breaker, I have been known to ignore people who ask me questions in the cinema. Silence only...

You were wrong not to pop over to the dvd player and switch the girl film for some more manly entertainment. Something by Kubrick or with some large explosions for example.

Man - yes
married - yes
children - yes
wrong - undoubtedly

although i could also be wrong based on the above which means you might be right after all.

^^^ yeah,

and I was like, I turned off SG-1 for this?

daughters phone confiscated last night as she's been complaining of not getting to sleep until the early hours.

I go to say goodnight around 11:30 and to find her in bed, on her phone.

"Are you watching this dear? Or using your ipad and therefore could I be watching the Giro highlights"?

And the answer is obvious, can't help but ask though, eh?

get up, go to garage/shed/man cave, stay there until late. Still be in trouble for ignoring her all evening. Oh the choices! 😕

edit# Incase Mrs Yeti is reading this forum, the above is not necessarily what I do, want to do, or infact will ever do in this situation. #underthethumb

I'm gonna start introducing her to folk as my first wife.

You want to get yourself a Ladyboy next time!

"Are you watching this dear? Or using your ipad and therefore could I be watching the Giro highlights"?

And the answer is obvious, can't help but ask though, eh?

Honestly, you lot.

Just change the channel if you dont like it and they arnt watching, if they complain tell them to put down the phone/ipad. My GF only get a reprieve from this if she is making dinner (hers) and want to watch/listen to the program while doing so.

Just change the channel during the adverts if your that worried, doubt they'll even notice.

Its give and take, if im on laptop and watching TV then i accept same principles.

therefore could I be watching the Giro highlights?

Not tonight. Apparently there was some weather.

This, is true. Oh, and I'm expected to provide regular updates as to what's going on in the movie because they are not watching. And its not even a film I wanted to watch in the first place. 👿

^^what he said.

I get in trouble when she burns food in the pots.

We recently had an argument about getting teflon pots (Ooh how exciting my life is...) she's not liking the health risks of PTFE, I'm not liking having to spend a couple of days unwelding food off the bottom of the pots cos she's distracted by facebook on her phone for 15 mins and walked away from the cooker.

And another thing... if I'm in the living room, she starts cooking tea (sometimes) then walks away from it. I'm apparently responsible for continuing where she left off, without her actually letting me know that tea is on, what's cooking or asking if I can stop what I'm doing.

Thanks for listening guys 😉

Are you guys a bunch of mice?

That would not be tolerated by either side of the equation in this house. It would be met with "you're not watching that I'm tunring it over." Referee's decision is final - no arguments, no debate, no fall out.

Wow, I thought we had problems like the fact it keeps raining every time i go to mow the lawn.

Communication is the key (this may involve tweeting/facebooking your other half_

lol.

It's actually not quite as bad as that.

But she has a low threshold for me being direct and gets upset easily.

possibly as I'm a little too direct!

As you can imagine, there's a lot more to the family dynamics than I'm letting on here, but it's nice to normalise any experiences. 🙂

Big TV in the lounge is my tv. There is a TV in each of the bedrooms they can watch what they like on.

If Mrs Pingu is not in the kitchen there better be a bloody good reason.

I hope she never ever reads STW! 😀

haha.

I need to fix the aerial in the lounge..

currently stuck to netflix/lovefilm or dvd's.

oh actually, that's not allowed eitehr, as she'll complain I'm not spending time with her...

on her phone...

on facebook.....

talking to other people...

privately.

still, I have a dog.....not my dog, her dog, but I walk it/feed it/talk to it etc..

I've just got in trouble becuase the baby banged her head on the table. She was feeding her and apparantly the baby is crying due to my reaction (a concerned look on my face), nothing else.

Also I'm in trouble becuase despite being away from home for days I don't want to do anything other than lounge about holding a beer tonight. She's stopped talking to me becuase of that, hence I'm here. Any moment now I'm expecting her to come in the room and state "Oh, so you can't talk to me but you can type on (emphasis) SINGLETRACK"

😐

Kryton, you are kevin spacey in American beauty and I claim my £5.
