It’s going to be near 90 degrees tomorrow and very windy. Won’t be able to put up a tent for tailgating. There’s even talk the drone show may be cancelled for the wind and no fireworks for fire risks.

Those are real first world problems
Agreed! Hearing the people on CF complain about sunny and 88 degrees for the game all week. Tough world....

My wife is obsessive about not letting laundry build up, so she’s running it constantly. But I HATE the way she folds the clothes. And I can’t tell her because that would sound ungrateful.

One time, my wife caught me rearranging the dishes she loaded in the dishwasher, and you'd have thought she walked in on me banging her sister.

I bought a black shirt that I like to work out in. It lasted 4 wears before a rip in the seam near my armpit opened up

I can relate. Mine is very picky about everything laundry related. Her clothes separation method requires PhD level mathematics that turns 3 loads into 8, certain things can be dried one week and not the next, her closet is color and type coordinated, and I don't understand the folding methodology at all. I'm not even able to put shirts on hangars without breaking a rule, so I don't do that either.

I refuse to help her because I can't adhere to all of the asinine rules but that also means I can't complain about how it is done. I put away my own clean clothes but that's it.

She folds my sweatshirts so that the sleeves are on the top! You must pick a single sweatshirt up with both hands or it unfolds itself. It's madness.

Sometimes our two small dogs that my wife and I have chosen to have sleep in bed with us take up a bit too much room and then we have to nudge them over a bit.

The other day I told a girl that I would be at the bar in 5 minutes, Jumped in my car and noticed I didn't have gas. Had to go to the gas station first so it was gonna be around 10 minutes, Then went into the gas station and they were out of fire ball shooters that I normally have on me so I don't pay huge shot prices at the bar. So in other words, had to get gas, was late for the girl, no shooters to pre game before I went in the bar. It was horrible. Screwed up my Tuesday night. Well for a minute anyway.

I have a long weekend and am back in Iowa and might go paddle some sloughs/backwater areas to fish later.

But it's windy.

So casting a fly rod will be the WORST.

And what if my super light carbon handled fiberglass with reinforced nylon bladed paddle catches the wind and I have to correct my position!?

I went to the gas station this morning and the credit card reader was down. I drove all the way across the street to another one, so I don’t have to go inside and talk to someone. Then I noticed the price was $.01 per gallon cheaper at the first one. So I wasted $.14 and one minute of my time.

My truck, a 2022 Silverado, has an issue where all of the audio (AM/FM/Android Auto/Turn Signals/Chimes/EVERYTHING) goes out for about 2-3 seconds at start-up and then it's back just fine. It'll do this... 3 or 4 times and then it's fine.

Chevy is aware of the issue and has been working on a fix.
My Sirius in one of my cars goes out when traveling over bridges and for 1/4 mile around Valley high school. The irritation of listening to a great song then losing it is for real problems.

This isn't a "things your wife says" thread. :)(the one minute part)

My 25 lb dog has the ability to make himself weigh about 130 lbs at 3 a.m. when he's unknowingly nudged me to the edge in my sleep.
