Wife, to husband:”I don’t know why you always pull through to the parking space on the other side. It’s twice as hard to back out and if someone comes up behind you, you’re blocked in”

Partner and I had a conversation about a similar discussion he had with his girlfriend. At least Partner was sharp enough to spot the signs of impending dumbassery and not get married to her.

Thanks for the Lent post, BTW
No sweat. It was meant as a standalone but i dont know how to just publish as an essay.
