Finally sinking in

[RichP]

I have been trying to train my kids right :angel: and it appears to be taking. My son is now using anti-seize as part of his normal reassembly of his YJ. He emptied my only tube he knew about [I keep em around in 3 other places he does not know about ] so he borrowed the wifes car to make a special trip to the parts store for another tube out of his pocket.
Now if I could just get him to put the tools back in the big red 6 foot tool chest I'd be all set He made a comment the other day and said 'Boy, when I get my own place I'm going to lock all my tools up'. The wife heard this and gave him 'The Look', he promptly shutup. She jumped all over his butt for borrowing the meat tenderizing mallet and using it to bend his new speaker brackets out of steel stock Me, I got yelled at a few years ago for using the turkey baster to top off my battery with distilled water Since then the kitchen tools are 'off limits' to me.

Admit it... when she's not looking the turkey baster gets put to good use as needed

The terminology is all wrong. It's more effective to blame her for using the battery filler in the kitchen. (Although it does weaken the argument when the only place a guy can buy a battery filler is the kitchen aisle of the local supermarket.)

I get the "look " when I wash out the K&N air filter in the kitchen sink.But" I put the dirty dishes in the washer"
But now the wife is using my gun room to keep the 10 new chicks that hatched last week.Maybe that makes it even-----

Sorry.....you guys have it wrong. My wife is not allowed in my kitchen or my garage. The laundry room is her domain, and I do not tread there, but the garage and kitchen are off-limits for her. It is all in the training.
My dad used to blame me for losing his tools.....till I moved out, and he still lost them.

Heh, you got off easy, Wayne. I was cleaning parts in the kitchen sink when I got peeved that I couldn't find a particular utensil (a chopstick). I re-arranged the misc. utensils drawer. A couple of days later my wife cleaned the garage. Lesson learned the hard way.

Been there, done that, bought my wife a very expensive set of knives for her birthday right after we first got married, she bought me a blender for my next birthday. OK, I generally only need the 2x4 upside once.

Just don't think you can get away with it and you'll be alright.

The wifey (before we were married) came home from work early and I had my motorcycle motor torn apart on the coffee table and was smoking a cig. When she walked in even the dog knew we were in for it. She went and hid under the bed. There was't enough room for me under there so I got the blunt of it. Telling her she was the one that moved in with me didn't help much either. And never ever ride the bike through the house to show off your handy work. Not one of my brighter days.

Later,
Lincoln

 

[Kejtar]

did you ride the bike after you got chewed out for the rebuild or before?

[Lincoln]

After of course.

Some day's I'm dumb, real dumb. Okay have it your way. It's every day.

I also got chewed out by the cops because the neigbors complained about my dirt bike on the street.

Some day's you just can't win.
