Lol I had a similar thing with the wife a week or so back.

She had a slow puncture, I work for a car dealer, I said I'd take the car in and get the tyre done, I did that got home and she said "oh Jane said she was surprised you couldn't change the wheel and had to take the car into work to do it, she said Rick would have done it"

FFS now her frends think I'm unable to change a wheel, I am more than capable!
Every cloud and all that.

Every morning, the same question, “What’s the weather like”. Considering 80% of the front of the house is glass, a quick peek out the window might be in order, but no asking me is easier.

This morning;

“What’s the weather like?”
“Clear and dry -7”
“Oh, not cold then”

Yesterday was -3 and she was dressed like an Inuit seal clubber.

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 got told off yesterday for being rude !

A screw in one of the brand new Michelin Pilot Soort 5’s on her car. Right on the edge as well so not repairable and of course the stupid car doesn’t have a spare.

Sunday afternoon so online to order a replacement and book fitting which won’t be until Thursday, so no car for a few days.

Me “I will have to take the wheel in on Thursday for you”

Her “isn’t it getting delivered straight to the garage”

Me “Well yes the tyre is, but I will have to take the wheel in”

Her “But it’s go a puncture, can’t you just collect the new one?”

Me “They need to fit the new one to the wheel, so I have to take the wheel to them. I will just put it in my boot”

Her “ But it’s got a puncture, and the new one will already be there. Can’t you just collect it and bin the old one?”

Apparently by then going on to explain the difference between a wheel and a tyre I was “Rudeand patronising”

I then pointed out that patronising is quite a big word for someone who doesn’t know what a wheel is, and went to the pub ??
That’s quite hard to believe. She thinks the tyre comes with a new wheel attached or something?

You may have to wait a while for a response, I suspect his stay in hospital was longer than he expected. hehe

The swelling should go down enough for him to be able to read the thread by Friday, but the doctors say that fine motor control in his hands may never return... biggrin

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

Maybe she’s a fan of F1 their tyre changes they do replace wheel and tyre very quickly. If she’s a fan of F1 and hot you can let it slide. smile

Not the Mrs, but the Mother. Just got an email from her addressed to a family group. It begins:

"Hi all f you"

I think she missed an o.

I hope she missed an o.

Watching The Met the other day, why are they only showing stuff in London?

Cue a difficult conversation trying to explain why The Met are called the Met, and how The City of London police are separate, but also the City of London is also not what she thinks it is… I gave up in the end.
