My Mrs talking to a friend of hers this evening on how she met her husband.

Mrs: What does he do?
Friend: He's an accountant.

A friend of my daughter’s was doing something similar. She was told to use the bain-Marie method, so boiled the water in a saucepan.....then carefully dropped the chunks of chocolate into it.

Sensible, if you hang up she'll know you're a scammer.

I was leaving the room the other day, when I heard her exclaim that perhaps the door could be ‘more ajar please’
The door was open 200-300mm as I had left it.
I wasn’t sure which way to move the door, as I had never previously considered ajar +/-

Hoovers broken, apparently water just started pouring out of it and she’s no idea why.

I’ve quizzed her what was happening at the time of hoovering, but apparently nothing unusual and the hoover must be faulty.

Gremlins. It's never the fault of the operator/last person to use the device.
I think skilly needs to do more questioning here, what do we think? The Mrs unknown mystery person using Henry to unblock a drain, clean up a spill?
Whilst fortune favours the brave, in this instance I'd be adopting the pragmatic approach and just accept Henrys fate. Maybe with a wry smile biggrin
I have a mother-in-law like this, I think she must have been brought up to hide weakness or that a mistake is a bad thing as she makes up very elaborate lies that are obvious than admit to an error.

She obviously gut a kerb in her car the other day, you could see the bulge. Her story was that she looked out the window and saw a man fiddling with her tyre and he ran away, could I check it to see if he had caused any damage.???

The house across the road has scaffolding across the front of it at the moment. I wasn't sure what was happening (roof repairs etc), and was idly looking out of the window when the penny dropped; they are getting solar panels fitted.

At that point Mrs John asked why the workmen were carrying TVs up the scaffolding.

Advertising boards for passing aircraft passengers to see, is the obvious answer to that one.

When is a door not a door?

When it's a jar.

Apologies, I think I've turned into my Dad biggrin

How do their little grey cells work.

Helping er’ in doors put a fitted sheet over the bed mattress, and the sheet is quite big.

She says “Oh not that one it’s too big”

I said “Well if you can’t use it, throw it away”.

She says “Oh no, I may need it later”………

Is this thread supposed to be funny?

This is classic from my Wife last night who was screaming at me

"I hate you, I wish you'd leave I don't to ever see you again"

I'm pretty sure that she meant it.

It always happens when her chronic fatigue kicks in....

I'm sorry you feel that way hunny but remember the exit door works for both of us. Would you like help packing?

You're not alone, but it is exhausting isn't it.

Not quite the same thing, but to demonstrate the stupid way her indoors' brain works. On Sunday I foolishly mentioned that a few years ago the combi oven/microwave broke and had to be replaced under warranty( as the kids were asking about reliability of things).

To which she goes "Oh yes, you broke it by putting something metal in it didn't you"
Me: "Er, no I didn't, the inverter failed and had to be replaced under warranty, they don't replace tings for free if you break them"
Her: "You definitely did that because it became less efficient afterwards"
Me: {trying to work out how a microwave becomes less efficient} "NO, it had a failed part"
Her: "Lets agree to disagree"
Me: "No, lets agree you are mistaken and like a normal person, perhaps you could just say that you must have been mistaken, given that I clearly am not going to argue this much if I'd broken the damn thing"

Silence then follows for the rest of the evening, whilst she tries to work out how to compute being wrong, whilst at the same time not being able to cope with being wrong and needing to find away to pretend she is right.

I’m in the lounge, tele is on, I’m on my phone listening to whatever program is on in the background. We have 3 spotlights on in the corner and one on near the tele. Wife is leaving the house to take the dog for a walk and decides, without asking, to turn off all the lights bar the one by the tele before leaving the house, without asking if I need them on or not….

Apparently I’m the rude one for calling her out on it..

Different species sometimes….
