Closest comparison might be when a hoops player gets clotheslined in the lane and someone else has to shoot the free throws. But the soccer stat means a lot more in this case.

Riding with my wife in rural Wisconsin a few weeks ago on a two lane undivided highway. Granted, she's a foreigner and only used to driving in Chicago so she might never have come across the situation before on that type of road. But we're approaching an intersection with a four way stop. We're getting closer and she's not slowing down. I casually ask if she's going to stop. Her response? Oh, is that for me? I thought this was a highway. I didn't know there were stops on highways. Yes, the big red sign with STOP printed on it means you should stop so we don't get killed.

I have been pointing out to my wife lately how often i see people in the grocery store putting their cart on the opposite side of the aisle than where they are shopping. Just keep the cart with you please instead of blocking both sides.

I think I've said this before, but I just move it. I don't say "excuse me" or anything. I simply move it and continue on. I'm constantly amazed at the number of people that give me dirty looks because I had to move their cart go get by. I can't imagine being so self-absorbed that I think the other person is the issue here.

I keep my cart on the opposite side of the aisle because I can't see the items if I'm next to them. But I also stay on the side with my cart until I spot the item. I don't block aisles. That's just inconsiderate.

This is fine. As long as you keep the cart with you i dont care if you browse looking across and then wheel the cart over to get the item.
It is the people that leave the cart on the opposite side as where they are grabbing stuff.

Funny, I do this too and feel like I am the only one at the store that seems to stay on the side with my cart, even if I am shopping the other side of the aisle.

Web pages that show a link, but then as you go to click on it, the entire page adjusts and you just happen to click on the advertisement instead of the link you meant to.

I actually run into that here. I click to leave a thread and instead at that moment it jumps to reply.
Mrs. Rannous
Footballguy
Odd. I've never had that happen here. What browser are you using? Or is it your phone?

Anything where positions on a leaderboard or standings don't skip the numbers following ties. If we tie for 1st, the next person is 3rd...not 2nd. If there's an 8 way tie for 4th place, the next person is 12th, not 5th. To think otherwise, is a crime against math...or more like a crime against counting.

It's probably been talked about in here but I'm not going to look, pay walls on news sites. I click a link that someone has posted here about some dumb story. Sure, I'm interested in reading it. And I understand the website has to make money. I pay for access to the Chicago Sun-Times. But with some even the first time I go to a site I get a popup saying I have an ad blocker and that's how they make money. So they're not going to let me read the article if I don't join or whitelist them. I'm not going to join every damned site I click just for one story. Give me a few freebies. If I like your style, I might throw some money at you.

i'm starting to hit websites that say "you've read your 3 free articles this month" or whatever.. and i've either never been to the site before, or have but haven't read an article in months. they aren't even giving either the ad blocker a chance or me an opportunity to possibly get hooked on their content.
just straight shutdown right away

my wife nagging me about eating - we dont always eat the same times because of schedules and when we are away - i dont like to eat breakfast right away. Never have. Liked to be up for a few hours before eating.
its always: "what are you going to do about dinner" "why dont you want to eat breakfast!@#!@3"
me: "dont know, not real hungry./had big lunch/will grab something later"
YOU HAVE TO EAT YOU'LL BE HUNGRY LATER - ITS NOT HEALTHY
:rollseyes:
Listen dear, I've managed to live this long without starving to death. I think possibly missing 1 meal wont kill me.

easy, she's hungry and wants you to eat also so she doesn't feel guilty/bad/fat for being hungry
parasaurolophus
Footballguy
So tell her she is fat and doesnt need to feel guilty about skipping a meal?
"Easy" implies you know the solution.
mr. furley
Footballguy
the answer is there is no solution
he's wrong no matter what he does
eta: i'm no good at this stuff. from what i understand in observing other guys that seem to be good at these things, he has to come up with a way to let her know it's ok for her to eat & feel hungry, even if he's not and convey that incompatible hunger cycles does not make her a bad person.
but i would not advise telling one's wife that's she's fat

here's how it goes for me
wife: it's already 10:30, aren't you hungry?
me: not particularly
wife: well, the girls have to eat you know
me: ok
wife: they can't just not eat anything. they have to eat breakfast. they won't make it to lunch without eating.
me: ok.
wife: they can't just have a snack for breakfast! that's stupid! they have to eat!
me: ok, so.. how about eggs and toast?
wife: that's breakfast. it's almost lunch. they really need to be eating more than eggs & toast because if they eat now they won't eat lunch and then the'll be hungry before dinner!
me:
wife: what were you going to eat? maybe the girls can have that, too?
me: nothing. i'm not hungry.
wife:
fine. then they just won't eat and they can yell at you!
me: girls, are you hungry?
girls: NO!
wife:
me:
wife: fine! then i guess we'll just all starve!
me: if you're hungry.. it's ok to eat. go ahead and have a snack or something. if your blood sugar is low, eat something and you'll feel better.
wife:
me: ok, i guess i'll have a breakfast bar or some fruit.
wife: FINE!

You realize your username is right there, next to your post, right?
For some reason this bugs the living hell outta me and I don't know why. Peeves me. Stop it.

Ooooh, got it. I thought... well.... I'd rather not say. Thanks for clarifying. It is kind of fun to see the videos of ones that fall or walk in to stuff though.

when my wife rearranges the dishwasher so that she can jam even more #### in to an already stuffed machine.. then walks away without turning it on because "i was just adding more stuff, not washing the dishes".
