Problems when wives are right!

Not quite in the spirit of the OP's post, and continuing the whinge about women theme...

A few years back me and the Mrs treated ourselves to a decent big american type fridge. One of its features is a small but irritatingly persistant "ping" alarm for when the fridge door is left open for more than 30 seconds, which imo is a very useful feature.

Except my missus is completely impervious to it, she is able to flatly ignore it for hours. I can be on the other side of the house, and I can hear the fuckin thing pinging away, while she's stood right next to it knocking something together with the goddamn fridge door wide open!! Just close the FUKIN DOOR!

It's the same with her hair straighteners, if she leaves them on, they gently remind her to turn them off with a quiet but persistent beep. She has the ability to completely ignore the noise and blank it out, she can actually sleep through it, but it drives me up the fekin wall!!

Is it me?

Can you pass me that please.... You are stood next to it?

My mrs can go ten miles with her seat belt off with it pinging every ten seconds and I wait to see how long before she reacts. They are sadly wired incorrectly.

I can relate to the doors left open and the seatbelt stuff. She'd tell the belt pinger to shut up because she was getting out again in a minute.
She'd tell me to stop at a shop because she just wanted to nip in for something, then leave the car door open. I said, "was that just you buying toilet roll or was it an armed robbery?"

a lot of them are like this, but mystifyingly are also unable to sleep through the sound of socks being put on or the taps running.

My mum when you ask her what's we have for tea she will say "it's not time for tea yet" so I ask again what is it that we are having when it is time. She will then reply "why does it matter"
JUST TELL ME WOMAN.

My mum also refuses to learn how to use new technology. My dad got her and new car with all new bits and bobs but she just refuses to use any of it. Steering wheel controls are stupid and get in the way apparently but dipping your head and messing with the heater and radio for ten minutes is much safer .
AND DONT GET ME STARTED ABOUT DRIVING DOWN THE MOTORWAY AT 35 mph

Mine has the tap ability. Oh darling Wife, shall we ignore the beeping fridge, the shrill noise of the stove kettle, the many beeps of the car telling you something is open and focus on the cold tap running in the main bathroom as I do my teeth?
