So sorry, I concede.
Women are crazy, and men are rational.
I’ll return to the kitchen now.
See, you are not supposed to concede. You are supposed to start screaming loudly while calling every guy here an immature kid who never listens. Then, if things are really interesting, you are supposed to throw some household items around…or hell, do like Left Eye from TLC and burn down our houses by accident because you threw all of our clothes in the bathtub and set them on fire.
Houston, right?
Hell, I’ll meet you at the gym.
Wear boxing gloves…and bring mud.
wait wait wait!!
so me and Christine get to mud wrestle and the winner gets Professor X cooking in just an apron???

Here’s the quick background of this story. I have a 14 month old baby who I share custody of with his mother. We have our differences but for the most we get along. Although as far as I’m concerned she is a control freak with self esteem issues. Hence some of the reasons we are no longer a couple .Its not the best of relationships but it could be worse.
We’ll periodically check in with each other just to see how our son’s day was. So this morning she calls and we have our usually 3 minute conversation about how he slept the night before,how did he eat etc etc. She called back 20 minutes later and I answered
“Yeeesssss?” in very light ,half-jokingly manner
Her: Pardon me? in very stern pissed off manner
Me: Uh I said “yeeeesssss” . Do you have a problem with that.
Her : Paraphrasing Yes I have a problem .You have no manners squak squak squak
Me: Well I’ve done that a thousand other times and know a thousand other people that do the same thing and nobody else takes issue with it. So maybe it says more about you then anyone else. If thats the sort of thing that sets you off then you have issues.
Her: I don’t want to talk to you now.
Me : Fine .Have a nice day.
Does anyone else here occasionally answer the phone that way or am I out of my mind? I asked a couple of people at work and they all agreed with me. I’m not looking for everyone to agree with me but maybe shed some light on the situation.

I rarely answer the phone that way. When I do, it is because for example my mom calls me way too often or for something that is really not urgent and I am a bit tired of talking to her. I answer the exact same manner as you.
Your situation is the same. Even if you answered “YESSSSS” light and half-jokingly, deep inside you are a bit tired of her calling so often… correct?
She’s not stupid and she recognizes this. So yeah I guess I can understand why she would be offended. It sure doesn’t look like you are happy to talk to her.
when i was around 8-9 years old, my neighbor and i would play in his backyard. well, he had an older sister and she would invite her friend over just to hang out. one night, we moved the curtain of her room just a bit to the side so we can see inside and we caught them trying out different outfits! haha no joke. i was the happiest kid on the neighborhood.

Dude, that’s just average pissed-off-woman attitude. It NEVER means that the object being fought over actually matters. It is ALWAYS some issue that you aren’t even aware of that they are getting pissed off at because you aren’t reading their minds and psychically discovering that the whole reason she called was because you left your socks on the floor in the living room 5 years ago and she had to pick them up.[/quote]
She’s your ex-wife for a reason. Why are you so surprised that your greeting pissed her off? And why did you have to ask your friends and people here that question? I hope your “She’s mad” detector gets fixed for your future relationship, if you’re looking for one.
Excelllent! The chantarelles should be up soon.
I love they way they moisten up in a brisk saute, then burst with flavor from a gentle nibble and roll of the tounge.
