Poll question: Should I be a good wife and move the car?
Sniffa asked me to move the car to the street before he comes home in an hour with his work van. It's still kinda hot out there, and I'm realllly lazy

What say you?

3. Well, I am the "yes" girl.
Don't get mad but I used to always move cars for MrG. I would also run out and start it up and brush it off in cold, snowy weather. Because he worked so hard so that I could stay at home I figured it was the least I could do. :hug:

12. I have the solution for you...
Go get in the car, go to the mall, go to Victorias Secret, get something sexy, then when you get back home, leave the car in the street, and go inside, then put on the VS purchase and wait for him to come home. See what happens... I am sure he will not complain one bit...

19. Well,
if my wife actually did something I asked her to do I would think something funny was going on. (unless somehow I asked her to go get herself some new shoes).

And tell him, "But you didn't say WHERE" in a Marilyn Monroe voice.

26. He may have asked you to do it, but did you say you would do it?
If you said so, then yes; if you made no promises then he's on his own...

31. Then I think a significant chunk of the 'consideration' should be in the form of
"what's in it for me?"

Good luck with this weighty decision, and remember: not to choose is also to choose.
