Signs you’re wife has never been poor or broke

1. Half full trash bags tied up and ready to be taken out
2. You know the last three rooms she was in bc the lights are still on
3. No matter the condiment bottle or container, there’s always 2 servings left when thrown out
4. Every bottle, jar, package goes in the trash the day of the printed expiration date
5. Why wash dishes when there are paper plates or plastic utensils?
6. When she realizes (in the parking lot) she forgot an item on ‘the list’ - No, I’ll drive an hour to come back tomorrow
7. “But the gas is 9 cents a gal cheaper at the QT across the street, honey…”
Damb, I love that woman, but this old soul is suffering in this new world. It’s a damb shame….

#1 is hilarious to me.... My wife will STUFF a trash bag before tossing it. She gets mad when I don't.

8. Potato Chips/Cookies/drinks/etc. left open on the counter once she gets her fill.
9. She buys online...it doesn't fit or work...but she never actually sends it back.
10. She dumps a pan of grease after using it just once!

My wife does most of her shopping online, but she does send
Aug 25, 2023, 6:27 AM

stuff back! In fact, her shopping method is....buy four dresses, try them on, keep the one she likes best, then send the other three back! She even got a warning once from Amazon, that she was returning too many items!

with my wife anymore: She will go through a half a dozen stores, take all day, buy next to nothing, and then, on the way home, grouse about "I should have bought this, I should have bought that..."
The concept of men shopping, going into a store, knowing in advance what we want, buying it, and then quickly exiting the store, is totally alien and abhorrent to her.

We can have a list but that is irrelevant. "I just want to look." I may deviate from the list, but it is something I see going from one list item to the other, not just going through the aisles to see what is there.

I’m a guy and I don’t do that. That’s not fun. There’s a thrill to shopping and the smell of new clothes and the thought of changing your style or adding to your wardrobe. Love it. We shop every weekend. Sometimes you have to force me to go home.

Steams up the bathroom, but rather than turn on the exhaust fan, opens the door. Fine in winter time, but man we don't need any more humidity in the house in summer!

I ain't eating or drinking anything past the expiration date either, but maybe that's just me.
Lastly, ain't nothin' wrong with paper plates and/or plastic utensils. I absolutely hate washing dishes.

Throwing away something a few days past the expiration date
Aug 25, 2023, 6:16 AM
[ in reply to OK...in fairness... ] |

is just foolish! With most foods, it's not an "expiration" date anyway, it's a "best if used by" date.
I personally don't buy much packaged foods, but they have so many preservatives in them, that even something like a loaf of bread can be used two weeks past the "use by" date. Of course, the best solution is to not eat breads and other ultra-processed "foods" like crackers, chips and cereals!

Wont eat chicken meat that touches the bone. All the half eaten pcs go on my plate to finish when she already ate all the good stuff off the outside.
That's why I divorced her hiney! Then she moved to California, probably fits in better there.

expiration date. I lost 19 lbs in about 3 hours. I was still throwing up long after I had nothing left to throw up. I told my wife to go get the g u n and s h o o t me!
If you ever get salmonella poisoning, you too will keep a close eye on expiration dates!
Your list makes me grateful my wife grew up poor like me!!

Takes bottled water with her on any trip more than one block, never drinks more than half (usually just a few sips) and leaves the bottle in the car until her next trip as if she were planning to drink the rest.
