We were talking about getting a Wii, and my wife asked me if I would be willing to sell my Xbox 360. I looked at her for a minute and I must have had a dumbfounded look on my face. She then asked me, "Why do we need two gaming systems?" I had to put it in layman's terms and just let her know they aren't anything close to being the same. She still sees them as the same thing and is wondering why we would need two. I told her to let me handle the gaming purchases from now on.
Yes, MSP nailed it. Men don't understand the intricacies of owning 50 pairs of shoes. Women don't understand the point of owning 5 gaming systems. End of the debate.
My wife hates that shit, I get her with it all the time. But she just tolerated me buying a new laptop, so I really can't much at the moment.
My purchases are usually countered with a similar expendature. So.....when i want to buy something, I have to make sure I have twice the amount to cover my ass at the bank. My credit with her for the extra ten grand for her car is just about balanced out......damn!
