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.
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.
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.

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.

:evil:

One of the benefits of being married: having to stay home today, I want lunch. So open the fridge and freezer, and the options are wide. Gonna have steak for lunch. =)

Hehe. You are a very entertaining storyteller. :)

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.
