Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

I blame my cat for a lot of the pen problems. She plays soccer with the caps until they disappear into what ever happened to that thing land.

Probably under all of the appliances.

My part is that I don’t like the balance when the cap is put on the back of the pen, so I leave it off.

I’m really more of a mechanical pencil guy but those things are impossible to keep loaded and intact.

As a male, it seems my chromosomes align properly with this theory

When I first read this my thought was that whilst you didn’t specifics say it, she was 1. Leaving the pen on the side and 2. Leaving it clicked or lidless
This made me feel slightly nauseous and start to sweat a little. I don’t do well with mess in the house !!
I think that the only solution here is to replace any pens you have with grey lean pencils. You could keep a black emergency pen for use when you need to sign a legal document. This you could issue to your wife and have it returned immediately after use.

I am happy to say that my wife puts all the pens back in the pen draw after use and all lids are replaced or pens clicked off.

That’s impressive. My wife doesn’t close things. I’ll walk into the kitchen and find fo four cabinet doors and a drawer open. The other day I grabbed the allergy pill bottle and it fell and spilled. The cap was in my hand.

I have the problem of using my giant hands to grab things by the lid/top portion. Sometimes it backfires on me.

I confess that I think you’re using this opportunity to “humble brag”… :laughing:

I must be weird, I can go a week or two without needing to use a pen. I’ve never wondered more if I’m a woman or not.

2 weeks? How do you scratch your scrotum?

Edit: Ahhh shit, now I can’t get this out of my head… Backfired big time.

If I was honest my wife is far better at being generally tidy than I am. But there are still times she leaves stuff out. It usually ends up being a competition as to who can ignore it the longest so that the other person puts it away. She wins this more than I do.

My ex-wife has this thing with scissors. She somehow loses them. For many years in a row, I bought her exactly two pairs of scissors for her stocking at Christmas, and have continued the tradition even after we got divorced. Still, if you went and opened her kitchen drawers, odds are you would struggle to find scissors anywhere.

Somewhere in her house is a secret place where there must be two dozen scissors hiding just out of view.

My is the only one who really cleans, but she’s also the one making the messes. If I spill coffee grounds on the counter then I immediately clean them up. She, on the other hand, ignores the mess until the weekend. She then complains about how the house is a mess because she’s failed to clean up as she goes.

It turns into the same game for us because I hate the mess but I hate that she does that, too. I try to save it for her but don’t always succeed.

Still have the same haircut?

Think that was my first post to you about your shoulders thread.

Hahaha, pretty much. Proportions might have changed a bit, but it’s still shorter on the sides and longer on top. I like myself that way. And I’m totally not self conscious about my shoulder “shape” anymore.

Maybe that’s partly because they actually grew since? :thinking:

At times I can’t decide if certain post are just poor troll jobs. Or if some posters might actually be that fucking clueless!

My apologies :smirk:

I can only assume you are actually referring to yet another post in the Beginner’s forum. A 12 year-old asking about gear, or a hardgainer who claims to eat 14k calories per day.

I love how they always have a story about how some time last week they had a whole pizza for dinner. Cool story bro, not proving the point you think it is.
