It has been well documented that men frequently say the exactly wrong things to their women about certain things, and that lands s in the doghouse very often. But allow me to give the other side of the coin, and describe a situation where the WOMAN completely ****ed up and said the exact wrong things to her man about something.



A while back I found a framed autographed photo of Walter Payton in my parents house that had apparently been in a box over their for years while helping my mother get rid of some old **** they had.

She told me I should take it, seeing as she has no need for it. I don't think I really need to explain how awesome that is. Anyway, I bring this fantastic piece of sports memorabilia home and clean it up real nice and start looking for a place to put it up.

Well, the wife asked what I was doing and I told her, brimming over with boyish excitement.

Then she managed to say something so terrible, so wrong, that our relationship almost couldn't handle the strain:

"I don't want that useless piece of crap hanging on the wall! No way!"

:shock:

I was completely floored.

"But it's an autographed picture of Walter," I said, confused. I held it towards her to drive the point home.

"I don't care. It's ugly and I don't want to look at it."

At that point, I simply could not believe my ears. This woman... this monster... was calling my boyhood hero an "ugly, useless piece of crap"?

"Honey, I don't think you understand... this is an autographed picture of Walter Payton. You know, Walter. See, there's his signature," I said, pointing at the signature as though this could help.

"So?"

Needless to say, we got into a big argument after that, but in the end, Walter got his spot on the wall. :mrgreen:

I just thought it would be nice to show that it's not only guys who can screw up by saying the wrong things.
 
I have solved the "sports memorabilia" problem with my wife.

I am a huge college football fan, and an even bigger UW-Badgers fan. I have alot of Badgers gear. A shirt signed by Barry Alvarez, a football autographed by the '99 coaching staff, a football signed by current head coach Bret Bielema, two basketballs signed by current Basketball HC Bo Ryan(I'm going to give one to my best friend). My entire golf bag/head covers is all Badgers, I've got the UW plate on my car, etc... the list goes on.

So, in our apartment, the spare bedroom(which is the study as well) is the "Badger" room. None of my stuff is on display, out in her part of the house, but this room is the throne towards all things Badgers. She dare not come in and think of decorating it any differently. Once I get my degree, and she finishes up her Masters, and we buy a nice house, there will be a room with a large HD TV, and comfy chairs that will be outiftted and painted in UW red. There is simply no disputing this future endeavor and she knows it. Its all I will ever have of home.

My husband had his "boys room" in the little 2 room apartment attached to our garage, but we promised our son he could have that space when he turned 18 so Gary lost one of his favorite hangout. He has his stuff in the spare room now but it's just not the same.

I think he dreams of our kiddo moving out the way some people dream of hitting the lotto. The day his dreams come true and he gets his space back
 
My wife just said that she would cream her pants for an autographed picture of Walter.

Go Bears! :mrgreen:

How'd you feel after that comment? :rofl

I've got 15 acres north of where I live currently which we are going to build our house on once we have the money to. I told my wife that we are going to build a room specifically for me and me alone. The rest of the house she can have and do what she wants with. But THAT room is off limits. I'm thankful she realizes that and accepts it. There are plenty of women that would tell their man to go stick it where the sun don't shine.

Women need to realize that the home is mans territory just as much as it is womans territory and we need something of ourselves in there also. And just an ashtray won't cut it if ya know what I mean.

Good luck with that. All I asked for was the bottom drawer of the fridge for beer, and now its full of soda, water and gatorade for the kids.

Yeah, I agree.

Gary actually had his room decorated nice.....for a guy. I'm not fond of stuffed dead animals, antlers, guns and bows....etc. but for a guy? Yeah, it was a pretty cool room.

I prefer to call it "Man Room."

I had a buddy that had a small room that had over time turned into such a place. He had several game systems in there, including an Atari, and a deck of poronographic playing cards. He also had a chair that I dubbed "the bj chair" since it perfectly positioned one for, um, well.

Then I opened my stupid, giddy, man-room-overdosed mouth and called it the Man Room within earshot of his wife.

I'm still waiting for the Men's Club to reinstate my testicles. Dammit.
 
You guys can't be scaring me like that. The things I love, if someone dares to make them look worthless I will blow up their house, even if it means blowing up mine.

I don't think marriage and I will work out.
Haha

Sometimes spousal abuse is legitimate. Any cop who considers himself a Bears fan would've taken your side.

Woman with bruised eye, "I told him not to hang his stupid picture up and he back-handed me!"

Cop, "What picture?"

Tucker hands cop autographed picture of Sweetness.

Cop, "Holy ****! Is this real!? It is! Awesome man!"

Tucker's wife, "But! But what about me!? He hit me!"

Cop, "Oh, ummm, where did you say he hit you again?"

Tucker's wife points to massive bruise on eye, "RIGHT...HERE!"

Cop, "Mmmmmm, I can't really see anything. Are you sure you're not just drunk or PMS'ing?"


Think about it...
