What do you get in trouble for ?

Re: What do you get in trouble for ?
A sample from two days ago:
Mrs P: Get the carrots from the fridge.
Me: Did you buy some carrots? (I had taken the last of the carrots a couple of days earlier)
Mrs P: I just need the carrots
Me: There are none, unless you bought some
Mrs P: Yes there are, they're in the fridge, and I need them.
Me: I used them a couple of days ago unless you bought some
Mrs P: Well I didn't know that.
Me: That's why I asked if you had bought some. [Things start to go off the rails. Pulaski exits .... stage left. ]

Asking the wife how much petrol is left in the car after she has used it for a few days. She never ever looks.

I get in the shit for buying records and record players, I've got 7 stereos with turntables at the moment, and as she points out, 2 ears. She makes sense I suppose

Oh I'd never let her know of course, every room in the house does need 2 record players. One with a solid state amp, and one with a valve amp. To think otherwise is madness

I get moaned at for trying it on. Then I get moaned at for not trying it on. I can't figure it out.

I'm apparently passive-aggressive and extremely sarcastic.
I'm refraining from making ANY comment.

My wife goes loopy over my Home Theatre computer and it's array of harddrives, amps, remote controls and speakers. Gets even worse when Kodi plays up.
Sometimes women just don't have any appreciation of ones technological prowess and the time and effort that goes into creating these magnificent manifestations of world wide current media hardware slap bang in ones lounge room....
I've half an idea that it's something to do with the remote controls.

Best bet is to be away for a week or two, and arrange for her to screw it up in some way so she can't watch X. Then you can get qudos for fixing it - unless you are blamed once again for "it being too complex".
