3. Your biggest mistake here is thinking you can actually understand the female brain -- were that to happen -- good lord... tears would become very ineffective 
Next time, thank your lovely wife for fetching you a Pepsi... and like my momma used to say, if you don't like what you've been given... get up and get it your danged self.. Personally I think it's a ploy on her part to stop fetching for you... if she does it wrong often enough, you'll eventually start doing it yourself...  |
I think the first part of your post was dead on!!
Here is an actual example. Though minor, it's the most recent one that comes to mind. Not a big deal, but it's something that also happens on a bigger scale..................she asks me if I want a snack. I say sure, and ask if there is any leftover taco meat from the night before. She says there is. I say that some of that with shredded chihuaha (sp?) cheese over it sounds really good with some tortilla chips. Ten minutes later she brings me a bowl........it's basically a bowl of melted cheese with peppers and onions and corn and a tiny bit of ground beef in it. I'm like "umm, what happened to the taco meat with cheese?" She says "Oh, I thought I'd just add a ton more cheese and some veggies and salsa in it and give it to you like that".
Except the huge amount of cheese made it all greasy, and I didn't want peppers and onions and corn in it.
Stupid, I know, but it's like she went to MORE work to give me something I didn't want then what it would've taken to give me what I wanted. And it's not like I demanded she go get me a snack or anything, cause if I'd known it was going to be something different I would've just gotten it myself, she offered. I thought I was specific in what I wanted once the offer was made?
For the record, we've had the conversation eleventy billion times that I will always ask for exactly what I want, and will assume that she is doing the same.
