    My Wife Is Spoiled!

    Since she now works out of the house and parks in a dust bowl for a parking lot. About every night when she gets home, I go into ballistic dust removal mode.

    Start with the CA duster to remove most everything, PB S&W to remove the rest, then QD for the fresh waxed look. Then Stoners for the outside windows, pull the front mat, wipe off the bits and pieces and I`m done!!

    Here is where she is spoiled!!

    She leaves the next AM and calls me on the cell to say that I miss a couple of spots on the outside of the car, or I can see smudges on the windows (I`m thinking I got your smudges right here )

    I guess this is the life and times of a compulsive detailer and the crap we put up with at times.

    Thanks for listening

    I bet if you stopped completely (VERY DIFFICULT TO DO) for just one week, then she would never EVER complain about a stray smudge or "missed spot" ever again. It`s called tough love, she will benefit from it. :rolling

    She would win I can`t stand to see that car dusty, drives me up the wall!!!

    However for April Fools Day. I drove to where she works, moved the car to the other side of the parking lot. She thought that someone had stolen the car, when she called me on the cell I let her in on the joke

    Question

    Just a couple of questions.

    1. Do you think maybe she is jerking your chain a little?

    2. Do you get to sleep in the garage often?

    You know where that comes from? I can spend 6 hours cleaning a car to what looks like perfection. Pull it inot the sun for a finally and the ONLY things she can point out is where I missed something.

    NO not its a great job but you missed?

    After sweatting for hours I know I`ve missed something because of the lighting I work under, but look at the big picture for gods sakes!!

    :dunno about all this.
    My wife is also spoiled, but so am I. I have gotten quite used to a clean house, clean clothes, regular meals, food in the cupboard when I do need to fix something myself. While I do help with the regular houskeeping chores, I would be less than honest if I didn`t admit that she does by far the most of it. I do help, though.

    Now for the vehicles. I wash, wax, vacuum, buy gas. change oil, all the things that I think are man resposiblities. For her part she doesn`t leave any debris in the car or van after she has driven them. She keeps me informed of any new sounds or behaviour when she has driven either one. (Changes in the way your vehicle sounds and runs are not usually a good thing.)

    The real effort she makes is in parking. Chances are that you could pick out our vehicles in the parking lot just by looking for the one waaaay out in the lot, on the end or next to the curb.
    The GTP is 4 years old this July and I don`t think it has a parking lot ding on it yet. Friends joke that we just as well have walked, we park so far away from where we were going.

    I don`t really know what the point of this is supposed to be other than it is a two way street in our house. Works for me.

    I`m making fun of myself more than anything. I to share in all the house duties. I also do all the shopping for food and am the only cook in the house, 15 years in the food industry helps.

    I guess when you look at 90% of the cars on the road, you know the ones that look like they have not seen water other than rain in years. That`s what I compare this with. Even if a did nothing to ths car for a month it still would be cleaner than most on the road!!

    Oh yeah, I don`t do cook. Reheat in the microwave, sandwiches, or salads and I`m done. If it weren`t for peanut butter I would have starved to death in my single years.
