Why would you owe her a kiss for her using and misplacing your hose nozzle?

Anyway... I mislay stuff all the time. Nearly every time I do I of course suspect my wife put it away for me. I get angry and frustrated when I can't find whatever it is. She gets annoyed at being blamed for the thing being missing. Nine times out of ten I eventually find it just where I'd stupidly left it.

But every once in a while it turns out she was the one who'd either used it and misplaced it or had put it away for me in the wrong place.

I'm learning to not be so quick to blame it on her. She's learning not to be so quick to deny responsibility.

Why she would put a wet hose nozzle in with wood pellets...

Anyways, I’m happy as a pig in shit. I was going to buy another one tomorrow, so that saved me a few bucks.

Only a wife could think that added up to you owing her. That is like kidnapping a child to claim the reward.

Cool rant.

You’ve been married, what 28 years (guessing the timeframe from the citizenship thread), and you’re asking that question? As jhe said, “kidnap the child and claim the reward”.

To show how long I have been married, she did deserve the kiss. She found it before I spent a hundred bucks on a new one.

I have the same issue of blaming her, when I misplace things. This comes from a long history of her actually “organizing” things into the abyss. However your take on misplacing items and blame, and your wife’s frustration, could have easily, perfectly, described my house.

Well yesterday the missing hammer was found. It was hanging off the side of a garage workbench obscured by other gear. It simply had been missed over and over and over again. At least you hadn't ordered a replacement like I did.

When I had a tour in Korea, I returned to pretty much an empty tool chest. Wife and kids would grab a tool, use it and put it down in some black hole. I spent months finding tools in all the wrong places....except for my hammer. I finally bought a new one. Months later, it appeared on my workbench.
