Please Sir, it's not my fault!
I love my missus to bits (or in bits would be more appropriate at the moment!). However, two things bug the hell out of me:
1. Please
My missus cannot say "please" to me - for anything. More annoying, however, is not that the word doesn't exist in her vocab, it does, but just that it doesn't exist so far as I am concerned! I must tell her at least once a week that if she only said "please" to me that task would be done much more willingly. Last night we had a fight about this, she told me she was my wife and so didn't need to say "please". We didn't talk for the remainder of the night (despite my mother's advice that you should never sleep on an argument).
2. It's not my fault
The second thing that bugs the hell out of me with my missus is that she can never accept that something may be her fault. The rest of the planet Earth would need to be blamed for something before my missus would accept she may have something to be responsible for. I don't know why she cannot just accept her fate and face the music. But oh no, no way that's going to happen. Today she was caught speeding. Not her fault. Why? Because she was not speeding. How does she know she was not speeding? Because she didn't think she was driving fast. What was the speed limit in that area you may ask (as I did)? No idea - but she wasn't speeding. When I told her that was bollocks she changed tact and decided that the it was BMW's fault. How, you may wonder, did BMW get the blame. Simple, if we have speed limits, why does BMW build a car that can break those speed limits!!
That said, I would love to have seen the look on the cops face when he asked her for her driving licence (which, she tells me, he did), which went as follows:
HER: "Haven't got it"
COP: "Where is it?"
HER: "At the police station"
COP:"And why is your driving licence at the police station?"
HER: "Taken last month by another cop and I haven't gone to collect it yet. You can phone to check if you want to"
Poor cop decided it would be easy to take the B200 and get rid of this one. If only I had the same out option
