What I hate about passive aggressive behavior is everything gets turned into a question.

Example:

" Have you seen the trash next to the door?"

"Yep."

And then I purposely don't touch it. Pretty soon she understands if she wants the garbage done she needs to give a direct command and then say "thank you " when it's done.


I feel it's the passive aggressive version of the knife fight in "Nevada Smith".

Or, you could just take out the garbage.

My wife's OCD would kick into high gear, so she takes it out when it's half full. She's already looking at the calendar to see when we turn the clocks back this Fall. It's called planning ahead.

I don't look forward to garden time but once I get started I'm committed. With grocery prices I'm going to eat the roots on every plant, lol.

My wife exactly!!! pc

The conundrum of figuring it out. LMAO

Yep, put a brand new bag in and she will load a cardboard box from a 12-pack of soda, and 3 paper plates in and say it's full!!

Oh ya…… I can relate, big time.

My sweetheart will stand by me, waiting (no so patiently) while I finish my cake…….so she can put it in the dish washer.

I love a clean, orderly house, but…….. for hells sake….

Me too. I can't wait to spend $300 to get $50 worth of food, not counting labor.

Pretty much the same story with what ever I do……. 80% more to do it myself…?

I foolishly tried to grow some home-grown tomatoes last year. The plants grew well most of the summer and then we had about three weeks of cold drippy fog and all the tomato plants turned black. Fail! I need to put up a $500 greenhouse if I want a $2 tomato. I put in 3 dozen strawberry plants and 10 artichoke plants this year. I can't wait.....

I used to try growing tomatoes. Everything attacks them. Squirrels, birds, bugs. Everybody. Never have ate one I grew myself. I suck at farming.

Well, at least you can't say you didn't have the "opportunity". Or did you?

 

[DeerMadness]

We grew so many tomatoes last year there must have been over 300 lbs .

 

[eelgrass]

I wish tomatoes grew like the redwood trees around here.

We learned long ago - grow our cherry tomatoes for salads, and buy our slicing tomatoes from Egan's Greenhouse here in Idaho Falls. The best we have ever had!!!

Just this morning my wife asked "Are you through with your coffee cup? I want to wash these dishes" Yes, dear...I'll gulp it down just for you.

There ya go boys………. when the drapes are drawn and the doors are closed…… they’re all the same.

We have had gardens for years. Some good some not so much. When we get to Arizona we are going to plant a cocktail garden, lemons, limes, grapefruit, and anything else we might need for a drink

That sounds really nice. I wish I could grow all that here...
