Settle an argument between me and the wife (1 Viewer)

[mr. furley]

wife and i had a spat tonight. she was upset that i used a sponge to clean something. because "i just bought that and it's expensive!". it's a sponge. i was cleaning something that needed to be cleaned.. which she refused to clean because... she doesn't clean.

anyways. she's a manager at her office. she constantly.. and i mean constantly... moans about how lazy her team of employees is and how much harder she works than them.

during our argument she said "do you want to keep score and see who does more than the other?? cause this isn't a competition. i don't have to do as much as you think you do." i mean, sure.

to which i replied "if you were at work and someone on your team said 'this isn't a competition. i don't have to do as much as you." you'd be OK with that?

silence

That sounds fun. 

What was she saying was “expensive”?  The sponge?

Trailer parkish? No

Annoying, unnecessary, and worth giving away half your #### to not have to endure daily? 100%

THE SPONGE

THE ####### SPONGE

 

[Bob Sacamano]

She's saying you're not spongeworthy.

I mourn for you.

purpose: to clean tall/thin thermos bottles

cost: TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS (allegedly)

 

we have several tall/thin thermos type bottles. of those, only one has been used at any point since being purchased.... years ago. that's twice this past week to make smoothies. miraculously the smoothie thermos was cleaned without using the expensive sponge

I should also add that the expensive sponge was in the cabinet under the kitchen sink. on the floor behind the bleach and other cleaning products. CLEARLY IN AN EASILY ACCESSIBLE AND HIGHLY SANITARY PLACE BECAUSE GOD FORBID IT GET DIRTY CLEANING SOMETHING.

She spent $25 on a sponge that you don't even need? 

Everyone knows you just fill those things with soapy water, screw the lid back on, shake the hell out of it and then rinse it out.  Boom done, now she has $25 to go spend on car perfume.

omg, what is it with women and these bottles?  we have no less than 12.  we have limited cabinet space, so a gaggle of them have ended up alongside the microwave.  the lineup of bottles has gotten so long that it's impossible to open the microwave all the way.  i've relegated it to something i'd rather not fight about, so that's where they live.   :(

Contraceptive sponges aren't for cleaning. HTH

ETA: sorry she refuses to clean her thing.

"25 dollars"

all things get magnified to disproportionate amounts in these sorts of situations.

the pizza we ate last night, for example, was $50.

Randomly, I will pick the cheapest one that I never see anyone use and just toss it in the trash.
