Question IS YOUR WIFE JEALOUS OF YOUR SCOOBY

My wife locked the door on me tonight,It was a nice day yesterday so i give the scoob the weekly polish and hoover along with the daily in and out of the door routine using every excuse in the book "daft " i know but i,ll tell her anything to go out in the car , I went out tonight in it to go visit a pal in hospital but beforehand i gave it a buffing off on the drive which took about four hours ,Any way, On the way back it started to rain and the spray of the traffic always dry,s mucky"Especially as it,s red" So i pulled out the hosepipe only to hear her shout,You and that ******* car,you think more of that car than you do of me,Which is total bull****!!!I,d say it,s about 50/50 So i proceeded to hose of the scoob and And she shoved her head out of the door and said,Don,t forget your polish,In a sarcastic Manner,So i decide i would just chamois it instead just to keep the peace!!. When i finished i tried to open the front door and she just smirked out of the window and said You spend all f,ing day in it ,Just f,ing sleep in it,So i thought,**** you.I,ll go for a drive,And after about 45 mins i returned,She unlocked the door straight after i left ,or so she said but now she,s not speaking, Oh i love peace and quiet as she as now hit the bath and will go to bed to leave me on s,net,..
Does anyone else get this much grief or am i being too selfish
I don,t think so

Not at all mate, welcome to 'the brotherhood of the misunderstood men'. Some women will never understand that to some people their cars are life and death, to others like us they are much more important!

I make my hubby loads of tea's and coffees while he cleans and polishes our baby
I sit on our doorstep chat to him and point out the bits he's missed...oh and fill up the warm buckets of water and shampoo and fetch all the products for him.

It's a labour of love on both our parts and i don't resent a thing, I'm sure I'm not alone ladies.....

I was outside the house a couple of weeks ago giving my baby the weekly detail and I got a text on my phone and when I opened the text it was from the missus asking why I never pay that much attention to her. Firstly what a waste of 10p and secondly she will never understand.
I love her. But the scoob only talks back in a good way........

Try spending 4 hours rubbing her down and she will soon send you out to do the car!!!

she likes you polishing the car as she can keep an eye on you.

Could be worse, you could be down the pub/betting shop

top tip - ban her from watching Eastenders all week and only let her see the omnibus. Gives you a couple of hours stress free.

you are clearly doing it wrong if your Mrs doesnt like you rubbing her down, send her round to me, you will never hear another complaint from here again whilst your rubbing the car down, or just simply rubbing one out lol

Only reason my wife complains about me cleaning the car is because she'd rather be out driving it.

If I read this right, you spent hours cleaning your car during the day, then 4 hours buffing it before going out, then it rained so you cleaned it again when you got home.

I'd buy her some nice chocolates to apologise if I were you.

My wife TELLS me to get out the house and 'play' with my cars as I 'irritate' her if I am in the house as I cannot sit still!!!

Still, she brings me a piece and a drink outside and usually sits and watches and chats for a while.

She also loves the looks we get when it is nice and shiny and for this reason often encourages me to get it polished!!!

Finally, she likes to wave from the bedroom when I am out polishing in an attempt to pul me away from my work - it is a difficult dimema sometimes - finish polishing the car or get my Nat King Cole!!!

Both me and my fella have got Scoobys so no jealousy there. He's my own personal carwasher, and every Saturday morning he's there cleaning them both for hours on end!
