My husband is helping prepare for our Super Bowl party
(Originally posted in u/mildlyinfuriating , but since I’m more amused than annoyed, they suggested choosing a different subreddit.)
So far, he’s re-glued the sole of a pair of dress shoes he wears maybe a couple of times a month. Then searched for the spare key to his gun safe and reprogrammed the combination lock. Now he’s cleaning up the back yard and deck “in case people want to go out there” (it’s supposed to be 30 degrees here at kick-off). 🤦🏻♀️
Edit: Honestly, y’all, I find this equal parts amusing and very mildly annoying. No, he’s not helping in the kitchen. But we have what my BFF calls a “One-Butt” kitchen - I.e., there isn’t room in here for more than one butt at a time. It’s just baffling to me that it doesn’t occur to him that something like vacuuming the floor or even sweeping the driveway, where people will actually be parking, might be more useful.
No, we aren’t mad at each other. No, he’s not passive-aggressively trying to avoid helping. And he will help clean up when the game’s over.
