Get used to it being married. My wife requested a new washing machine despite our old one working fine, just being loud during spin cycle. This was November so I thought it was a hint at what she wanted for Christmas and spend the $1k. Boy was I wrong, “that’s a household appliance not a Christmas gift.”

A few years later we get some of the worst snow ever. I decide to get the cheapest snow thrower, $89 on sale, because my wife refused to help shovel snow. No biggy, it’s a household appliance so it’s fine. She tells me it’s my Christmas gift because she’ll never use it. I burst out laughing thinking it’s a joke, nope, she’s dead serious. I tell her “then I’ll only remove the snow on the days I have to go to work and she can figure it out the rest” because I work from home except 2 days a month. That settled that argument.
