I love sarcasm. Other people, not so much. Therefore, I try to keep my doses as small as possible when I'm around others. Hubby, in particular, while having a dry humor of his own, tends to think that I'm nagging when using sarcasm.
But sometimes, I just can't help it.
Case in point: I am in the kitchen loading this dishwasher and spy the vacuum with its cord strewn all through the den. Hubby has used the vacuum because he vacuumed the bedroom. I should be grateful he vacuumed the bedroom, right? I am. But I just can't stop myself from saying..."What exactly is your aversion to wrapping the cord around the vacuum properly?"
Another example: Hubby will hit snooze on his alarm a bazillion times. Again and again and again...I can't stand it. How do you people keep doing that? The sound is so irritating to me that I have to get up the first time the alarm goes off so I don't hear it again. After one too many times of hearing his alarm a few days ago, I threaten to kick his nipples off if he lets it go one more time.
I'm really trying not to complain or be too sarcastic. Back in May (I think), I did a complaint free week and it was wonderful! We did get along better, absolutely. It requires more patience than I have on a full time basis but perhaps it's time to try again. Who's with me. Anyone...anyone?

(That was a thick chocolatey, tarry, syrupy covered sarcastic answer!!)
My husband feels the same way about my sarcasm!! Maybe I really should do a complaint free week....
Nah!!
don't sign me up. i couldn't do it. i love sarcasm and rub people the wrong way constantly. at age 38, i've finally come to embrace it! sarcasm is used by intelligent people! my husband also lets the alarm go off 5000 times in the morning. kicking nipples off? hilarious! i threaten to smack him in his sleep. you are so funny ... keep it coming!
actually i try all the time not to complain although i am sacarstic too, mostly i try make fun of myself when i just cant contain my wit any more. i do believe you are allowed to complain to others though..ie tell your friend what you think of your hubbys lazy cord ways and not him. then everyone is happy lol
Ha! Thanks everyone. Actually, hubby is rather sarcastic himself. If I am, though, I'm b*tchy. Go figure. :-)
sure can we start in the next week..my hubby is gone till the 8th of Aug and I think with him gone I could actually succeed with this! LOL I love your blog!
That's cheating! LOL I think I could be complaint free if my guy was away for a while, too. :-)
I thought this was hysterical! And so me!!! Thx for the look in the mirror!
