Mrs M has just berated me for picking the juicy scab on my knee and feeding it to the Sith Hound ( (c)Jamie Whitham).
Over to you.
Buying machine tools. And old books.
Spending aaaages on here and saying things like 'there was this thread on STW......'
Riding bikes. 😯
Exist
Posting in the bike section.
Everything.
Breathing.
Hang on,I will just go and ask.
When I had one it was eating......apparently I have a hollow head!
Everything I do, and everything I say, it seems.
Pissing in the sink/garden/wardrobe after a night out with the chaps.
It's practically bullying imo.
Nothing.
Making us 25 minutes late for a car viewing in which time someone turned up and paid full price cash because it was a smasher.
Only been looking for ****ing ages 😳
Heightening my impatience while waiting for her to get out the door so we can go wherever we're going by asking questions like 'what are you doing now?'
Breaking wind mainly
Today- it was moving a snake from the garden, telling her it wasn't dangerous, Brown Kukri, and not to worry. For her Google it after getting it out of the garden to find it was, a red necked keelback.
You said it was safe!! you said it wasn't dangerous!!!! what if it bit you!!! I never listen to her, she said it was dangerous!!
Yesterday it was managing to drop the kilo box of fresh coffee on the brown kitchen floor and my half arsed full of cold and hangover attempt to clean it up.
Monday it was missing my daughters parent teacher interview - you are in charge of the school, you should know when it is!
I think the thing that annoys us both, is that we are both fairly relaxed about different areas of life, but not always the same, so things sometimes flair up, which is always entertaining. Definite the cultural differences are the things that rattle us both, that is still after 12 years.
correcting her facebook posts every time she uses their/there/they're/your/you're incorrectly. which is every time.
I'm a lark she is an owl. We meet sometime about midday at weekends.
Not being quite ready to leave the house (i.e. still to brush my teeth or feed the animals) despite having been up an hour, had breakfast, washed up yesterdays crockery, dressed and done a quick tidy up...
...as she sits there in her dressing gown trying to stretch out her mug of tea that I made whilst she stumbled from bedroom to kitchen five minutes earlier and easily another fifteen before she is ready to leave 🙂
Either telling her I'm just going to see my mates and not coming home that night (can never just have one!) or when I do come home waking up in the middle of the night and peeing in her shoes/down the stairs/in a cupboard. Last time I even tried to take a number two in her shoes. She came into the spare bedroom to find my crouched down over her Jimmy Choo's preparing to curl one out. I remembered nothing the next day and wondered what I had done wrong!
I have issues.
Being an unsympathetic cold hearted arsehole. Her words, but she has a point.
Off the top of my head:
Breathing too loudly whilst I am asleep - not snoring mind, just breathing
Deciding to have a pee just before I go out the door after getting everyone else ready.
Doing the washing up last thing at night when she wants to go to bed (and sleep, not to have grown up time !)
Not turning the heating on when I am in the house on my own, so she comes back to a cold house
Spending to much time on the internet and not concentrating on my family (guilty)
Luckily she loves me .....
Booking a mtb holiday to Spain for three days after we get back from France.
Hands + balls - doesn't get why the two are naturally drawn together. Very odd.... 😉
Hobbies - apparently I have too many and they all cost too much money. At certain times of the month - everything...
When we go out the house I unlock the front door and go and get in the car with the kids, taking my house keys with me and wait for her.
(She is always last out of the house)
This means she has to bring her own keys to lock up. Somehow this pisses her off immensely.
Don't worry Harry....I don't think you're cold hearted or unsympathetic.
dawson - use a mini carabiner to separate your house and car keys when you go out of the door. No need to thank me for saving your marriage or your ignition barrel.
Ask for a pass to go with my (motor) biking brother and his biking buddies to go and see the MotoGP at Assen and not mentioning the fact that we'd be going on bikes.
Injuring myself "being stupid" (falling off my bike - AT NIGHT!!), rendering me useless and unable to work, drive/walk any distance, or take the kids anywhere for the last month.
To be fair she did have a point.
Being in the house, out of the house, or somewhere in between.
I expect this thread to turn up on the Men Going Their Own Way forum on Reddit.
Keep em coming!
Spending time on here.
Spending time riding.
Spending money on bike stuff
Being off work with depression and anxiety....
Being unable to sit down and switch off

Hope you are writing all that down 😆
buying Scalextrix cars on ebay as they are a bargain,then spending more than the purchase price on bits to rebuild and tweek them.
Stirring pots on the stove to make tea cook faster.
I seem to specialise in the classics.
1. Don't wash my dishes (within not-annoying time frame)
2. Wash dishes (to adequate standard)
3. Try to fix stuff all the time (rather than identify the situation correctly, ie just listen and give hug when is what's needed)
4. Cannot type on STW whilst simultaneously answering complex questions such as 'what do you think about that?'
'About what?'
'I give up'
'What?'
Eating too noisily.
Overuse of the phrases "don't mind" and "whatever" (although to be fair, I can see how that is infuriating).
Having dodgy ankles.
Overuse of the phrases "don't mind" and "whatever" (although to be fair, I can see how that is infuriating).
To be fair, I used the phrase 'to be fair' once last week and was roundly ridiculed. She claims I picked it up from here. I agreed with that somethingion. 'To be fair' [i]is[/i] bloody annoying. It's either an unthinking meaningless tick, or else a strange admission that normally you would opt not to be 'fair' yet this occasion warrants your being so. Harumph.
Not earning enough money.
Sleeping with her sister.
Current one is snoring so much she has to go in other room/ downstairs. Teaching kids bad habits; pulling fingers and farting is humour darling not a bad habit.... Not riding at all - I can't be arsed and apparently it's making me grumpy, well more than usual. Working stupid hours at the moment..
Flushing toilets with the lid up. Seriously.
Forgetting to tell her about rides I've planned.
She's much more of a slob than me though, so usually the boot is on the other foot.
