The wife starting conversations with me from a different rooms, sometimes from upstairs when I'm down, or from the garden when I'm in my office.
In a similar vein, when you are walking towards someone you know and they start a conversation with you when you're still 30 yards away or so. Instead of shouting, wait 20 seconds until we meet then you can just talk at normal volume.

And then you move towards her to ask her to repeat the question which she does, you answer and walk away then she says something else and accuses you of being deaf or ignoring her all the time.
Why is it so hard for wives to come to you and ask the question?
 
Just had something happen to me today which reminded me of something else.....

When you're driving down a long stretch of road minding you're own buisness and driving to the correct limit with no cars behind you but someone decides to pull out infront of you and then drives about 5-10mph below the speed limit.

Cities and people who live in them generally. I live in a nice market town, people respect each other, they mind their p's and q's, are polite, not too loud, are aware of their surroundings and how what they're doing affects others. The nice weather in the last couple of weekends has brought out day trippers who do none of these things. I sound like a right old bastard.

I know it's wrong, but it's the one occasion when I get up someone's bumper . Only for a couple of seconds, just to let them know.

Here in LA waiting at a red traffic light...it turns to green so I count in my head one, two before I move ahead.
The reason I do this is because the amount of f*ckers that run a red light.
Obviously due to the lack of patience here the car behind starts honking there horn.
I don't have a death wish....or probably that good of insurance to move forward as soon as it turns green.
Anyone from England driving here for the first time I always give this advice....it has been great advice many.
