Got any trivial wife/partner disagreement issues?

I'm always battling the wife over my underpants. I like my oldest ones best as they are comfy and worn-in, the Mrs wants to chuck them as the are rather holey. My argument is that nobody sees the holes, another plus is that I'm not likely to be having an affair wearing them!

She’s right, what if you got run over.

How to load the dishwasher

I avoid all 3 of the above scenarios

I let her load the dishwasher however she pleases. 

I don’t explain how the thermostat works I just set it and tell her not to worry her pretty little head. 

And I wear her underwear, then she doesn’t complain about me putting holes in mine.

I've got a favourite tea / coffee mug that i've had for years. Its got a picture of a 50s Ford Popular on it which was my parents first car. Problem is the ceramic is a bit crazed so it gets stained brown easily but the tea /coffee seems to taste better in it. Whenever Mrs R makes me a cup of tea she brings out a newish mug hiding the Ford Popular one at the back of the cupboard. I find it and get it out and she hides it again. The thing is, nothing is said, it just goes on and on and on.

Not just my Mrs then.  It's the same with the climate control in cars.

But we’ll all know why when we read that you shot her.

We all have these battles, but it's good to vent about them 

I too started a thread about it...

That’s way above my pay grade

She won't perform the common courtesy of leaving the toilet seat up after use.

I have on several occasions in winter had to explain the link between her leaving the back door open, the principles of heat transfer, the amount of gas and electricity we use and the fucking bills I have to pay.

She's like a garden worm, has absolutely no clue what is going on outside of Facebook and Emmerdale. What's the point? Honestly.

Missus munckee refuses to make coffee or fetch wine from the kitchen pointing out that I’m the bitch.  

When I complain about it she points out that she does all the laundry and housework and that could stop if I want to make a thing about it. 

For reasons I don’t understand she also controls the sex rations.

It appears that you have a 'Popular' mug in your house.

When Mrs9000 moans that I’ve left the seat up I take the trouble to explain that gravity is on her side.

Before you got married did you never think "Annelida" that's an unusual name...?

The only correct way to leave a toilet is with the lid down, you grubby bastards.

We usually argue over who's phone should connect to the in car stereo, it usually automatically connects to hers over mine so we end up listening to her terrible choice in music

My Mrs keeps stealing some of my cereal. That’s fine, but I do wish she’d roll the plastic bag down and close the top to stop it getting stale. 

Every. Bloody. Time.

It’s definitely a wife thing. 

Me “Would you like chips with your dinner?”
Mrs B “No thanks”
Me “You sure?” 

Mrs B “absolutely”
When dinner is ready: “Oooh chips! Can I pinch some?”  

We were in the States once and one restaurant had a “my girlfriend’s not hungry” option where you could order extra fries and sides.
