So I've been asking my wife to make an appointment to have my truck looked at (I drive to work so we switch cars when my needs work) it needs an oil change and the brakes looked at and also the tranny has felt off to me for a while. It hesitates and seems to labor a bit going uphill. This conversation has gone on a couple of times this week, last night at dinner with another couple it came up as the guy is a car nut much like me and we talked again about it. On the drive home my buddy says, "oh yeah, I just felt it a little slip or something." My wife then declares, "oh the transmission? you got a recall notice on that a couple of weeks back."  ...thanks hon lol |

Srsly though..I'm trying to figure out under which scenario telling my wife, with a straight face that my car needs an "oil change and the brakes looked at and also the tranny has felt off to me for a while. It hesitates and seems to labor a bit going uphill...can you take care of it"......would work. And Ive decided....
FVCKING NEVER. 
EVEN if she agreed to make the call, no way would she have gotten the list of problems correct. I'd end up with new tires.
Oh man...please tell me you had a stogie in your gob, a drink in your hand.... and you were watching Sports Center when you summoned her from the kitchen to instruct her regarding your mechanical maintenance requirements. Perhaps you were dressed as an Roman Emporer?

Lmao...I just read this thread to her and I'm literally in tears. She said tell your board this is her sad life she must be on crack.
In all honesty I asked her to do it because it has to be done at her convenience. The best part is Jeep told her if it's the recall problem they won't fix it. Wut?

No, the best part is, iffin they told that to you, a DUDE, instead of a harried, housewife who says "ok sorry" to mechanics, you would have straightened their arse out. Buyin eggs, wife. Check. Dry-cleaners, wife, check. Explaining your husbands interpretations of perceived mechanical imperfections to some mook with a phone in one hand an wrench in the other....not so much....

My wife has been asking for us to upgrade our garage door. She brings it up once every few months since a couple of neighbors have installed these new carriage style doors and ours is apparently just a "plain steel door with some windows."
Coincidentally she backed into the garage door a couple weeks ago. Now, we HAVE to replace the garage door.
Look, I'm not Sherlock Holmes but....
