OT; Cross threading & my OCD

CAPCNC · Dec 5, 2014

Im getting ready for work this morning and find this!

So I go in the bedroom turn on the light and say to my lil honey WTF is this!?!? :mad5:

She looks and says "what?? big deal" :rolleyes5:

I said are you out of your mind!?!? "Not good!" :willy_nilly:

She says "whatever"
Calmly I told her "Im going to work now. If this continues to happen I can not guarantee the safety of you and the kids anymore." :stirthepot:

She rolls over and says "turn off the fuckin light." :toetap:

Buy your own tube and hide it. Then superglue the lid on hers. :hitsthefan:

I have my own tooth paste tube for similar reasons + the girlfriend always squeeze the frigging thing in the middle and it drives me nuts as you get to the end of the tube to keep chasing it up to the nozzel end!!#

Kinda funny when your single how you forget all the potentially aggravating quirks of living with anouther human.

My wife does not do this.

Jackpot! :cheers:

Also we use different toothpastes.

My wife cannot screw the lid on the milkjugs, soda bottles, toothpaste, anything.....by my 5 year old daughter knows to do it correctly, even turning it the right way. Glad she got some of the good genes from me.

What's the problem? Cross threading is nature's lock tight.

rke[pler · Dec 5, 2014

It take talent to cross thread a multi-start thread.

Our my old boss who would say when we didn't have the right 10mm screw to just grab a 3/8 and 'just strip it in'
Drove me nuts

Lucky bastard, my little lady doesn't even attempt to put the cap back on.

Dude, you need some help.

Conrad Hoffman · Dec 5, 2014

Damn, now you'll have to take the cap to the shop and Helicoil it.

Spyderedge · Dec 5, 2014

Your a machinist if you pick up the thread before screwing the cap on...

-I qualify my social circle by the dividing line: Top Squeezers/Bottom Squeezers.

Middle tube squeezers will not go down with out a fight. I mistakenly purchased this thinking it would solve the still obvious problem.
She has thumbs for f*&k sake a primate could screw on the top let alone flip a flap closed!
Just for arguments sake I asked my buddy Merlin (One eyed cat I rescued from a paper bag thrown in dumpster) to put the screw cap on; it took a bit but he did it!

I rescued a cat from a dumpster once, Mr. B was his name.

If that is all you have to worry about count your blessings. Pretty sure the judge isn't going to give you the house in the upcoming divorce. For her sake I hope it's quick and painless.
