The Plight of Man (Or at Least this Man)
So this morning I had to drop my truck off at the collision center of our local Ford dealership for some repairs. Said repairs are the result of my wife hitting a deer in my truck or a deer hitting my wife while she was driving my truck...however you choose to frame it. While this isn't 100% relevant to the story, the mostly minor accident did occur late at night after I specifically told her to "BE VERY CAREFUL and watch for deer." At any rate she and a deer collided despite my warnings.
So back to this morning. I called her and specifically told where where to pick me up. She sounded very annoyed and said she knew where she was going. I responded to the effect of "babe I know you don't have a great sense of direction. I'm just trying to be proactive and effectively communicate with you about where I am. If I don't and you cannot find me, then you'll be upset with me for assuming that you know where I am so I'm just trying to head this off now." Her response was still somewhat annoyed in tone and she admitted she had a poor sense of direction but knew where she was going and would see me in a few minutes.
Well guess what...even after I told her to exactly where to pick me up she still went to the wrong place!!!
I'm not mad about it and we joked about it quite a bit. But gosh...with these women...your really are ****ed if you do and ****ed if you don't.
She'd have been annoyed with me had I not told here where I was and she was annoyed with me for trying to tell here where I was. At least she was willing to laugh about it after the fact. And we wouldn't even have been in this position if she had heeded my warning about the suicidal deer in the first place!
That's my rant and for the record, "I love my beautiful wife!"
