So apparently

When the wife gets home from having been out of town for a couple of days and sends a picture of the SUV loaded with crap from IKEA and says "I have been unloading all these goodies." The appropriate response is not, "I have something for you to unload."

Who knew?

 

[DFSNOLE]

I guess she expected you to handle it yourself as usual.

 

[dmm5157]

Haha, gotta work on that game sir.

 

[OrlandNole]

No worries. You don't have time for funny business, anyway. You're going to spend the weekend assembling furniture.

IKEA?! Was Winn-Dixie out of milk crates?

After almost a decade, I don't question it. I just smile, say yes ma'am, and then come post on here.

Your mis-step was not prefacing your response with "take that sheet back to Ikea and when you get back............I have something for you to unload"

 

[West Duval Nole]

Please show us the pic of your wife and her unloading stuff, so we can assess if that response was appropriate.

People just don't understand the rules.

 

[goldmom]

See, I'm one of those women who EXPECTED my husband to say that. I always replied that after you put this stuff together we'd get busy.

He was a world class wild man. Good memories. This thread makes me laugh.

 

[billanole]

World class wild man. Awesome.

The appropriate wife response....."bring it on"

But he was talking about unloading the dishwasher.

Ziiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnng!

 

[VirginiaNole]

I laughed out load....well played. Your follow up should be "rewards are expected" for your effort to assemble said furniture.

LOL. Jacksonville is getting an IKEA and quite frankly I'm glad my wife doesn't like Euro contemporary stuff.

If I had a way of accessing a picture account at work, I would. @dmm5157 and @smhnole and a few others have met my wife. I'll let them speak to whether or not it was appropriate.

If what part was appropriate? @vevois23 asking his wife to unload something else? Yeah, I think that was an appropriate response on his part.

She's petite, so maybe a better response was, "After I help you unload that, I've got something you can unload".
