At my previous residence, the wife had the all of the house to do with as she pleases, except for my man cave. I called it "The Museum". She could look, but don't touch.

Put some of her favorite shoes "Up" for her. She'll get the picture.

Mine puts stuff "UP" too. Even shat that ain't "OUT".

I'll never understand and she don't understand why it pissed me off.


Illusion

This is where a basement comes in handy. Mine doesn't even venture in my "shop" which is a glorified crawl space with slab.

She doesnt wear any

I could have asked mine where my range finder is and her natural response is "what range finder?" My response is:

Sounds like the scene from Pulp Fiction with Bruce Willis and the watch.

Simple solution guys.


Simply pick up here purse shoes and other items and put them somewhere that makes no sense. When she starts looking for her stuff, she will probably find yours first. Once she returns your stuff you can retrieve hers and give it back to her.

Was It this website where the guy had a theead about hiding his wife's shoes everytime he found them laying out? It seems like he had been doing it for a month or two, and she hadn't even noticed that he had hid 15 or so pairs.

Probably josh101 his wife has more shoes than five women could wear in their life's.

OK I haver a simple solution to the problem- put your own damn stuff up. I learned as a kid that if I left stuff out, I was going to lose it to mostly brothers and sister, their friends who came over or random strangers off the street.
If I lose it it is my fault and then I have to punish my self by buying s new thing a magiggy. Its not often that I lose expensive things, but pocket knives, hammers and screw drivers are top of the list.
I also learned not to leave stuff in pants pockets thinking you will put those pants back on, No, if its worn once it is liable to go in the washing machine, which is hard on things like pocket watches and bill folds.
My dad used to say that you should move every 5 years of so just so you can find stuff you put up.
He also had a sign on the tool room,"If you use anything in this room, put it the hell back where you found it." Not that that worked but it made him feel better.
I love my wife and after 44 years we have worked out most of the kinks so life runs fairly smoothly. One key is to not let little things derail the whole show. And if something is over a year old don't bring it back up. And always kiss her good night every night you are beside her.

I'm telling on you.

Yeah it really is minus the rape

I'll take my wife's makeup and put it in places that she'll find it but the places make no sense whatsoever. All I hear is "babe why is my lip stick in the silverware drawer"? And I'm like "oh it was sitting out and I put it up"!!
Haven't had anything of mine come up missing in years!!!

That alone makes it hard to stay mad at her.

I'm calling BS.

Did she get what was coming to her?

Just means she has to wash her pants twice

Oh yeah it got rough last night

My three kids must assume the statute of limitations expires around age 25. They have confessed to a string of petty thefts involving my tools, knives, camo, you name it. Payback has been fun. Seems like every time I help one of them move, I find more of my stuff. So I steal it back without saying a word. They are too afraid to ask about it because it would require confessing to taking it in the first place.
