I get this with bread with my family. There's this one kind of bread I like and when it's a different one I just won't eat it. Unfortunately my Dad manages to misinterpret things I write on the shopping list pretty frequently. Or he just didn't remember. The last three times I wrote "Luxury Ice-Cream" (meaning not supermarket brand or diet stuff) he managed to get it wrong every time despite me explaining the differences after each mistaken purchase. I'm not really a fussy type but it's funny how when you know how you like something anything else just becomes totally unacceptable.She comes back with chips. Not bad chips. But I don't snack on chips. Or she buys bagels, but not the right kind. Or she'll buy ketchup, and it's not Heinz.

Your wife enjoys cleaning. You are a lucky man. Also it sounds like you and your wife should go into business together, a good mix of personality traits.
Oh, dear God, bread.
The concept of bread is foreign to her. I don't mean she doesn't know what it is; rather, she doesn't understand that loaves of bread are soft. When putting bread in a bag, don't also put something heavy with it. A carton of milk is not good. Of course, you shouldn't put something heavy like a large container of coffee on top of the bread, either.
When she can't get the toast out of the toaster because it's too short, she calls me.

Hehe. You are a very entertaining storyteller. 
A few quotes that came to mind as I read these posts:
A few quotes that came to mind as I read these posts:
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after, well, that's the beginning of a new argument.
