FWIW: It was house cleaning that got me in trouble as well. There were a bunch of dishes in the sink that couldn't be put in the dishwasher. Wife says, "Ugh, I need to get to the dishes next," and she goes back to her computer to work some more.
Being the good husband I am (and more importantly, being able to wash some dishes while watching football) I go over and throw some Dawn in the sink and run some water. I've finished all but 2 of the dishes, when she walks back into the kitchen.
"Awe! You don't have to do that. I'll finish them. If I was smart, I'd start working out when you get up in the morning rather than sleeping in and that would let me blah, blah, blah, blah... so I can get some more things like the dishes done during the day."
"No, if you were smart you'd shut the hell up and just let me do the dishes so you don't have to do them at all."
Women.
