Don't ask a woman with PMT that is complaining about the DIY noise you are making "Why are you shouting when you have already said that loud noises give you a headache? Surely you are just making things worse for yourself?".

Before anyone whines about the lack of "OT" in the subject, Adam will be having to so it's on topic.
I was mansplaining away to my lovely wife about the garage door, of all things. In exasperation, she said "I'm not as stupid as I look, you know."
I'm sure there's a correct response to that, but my sense of humour got the better of me, and I just politely agreed.
Explaining *what* about it? Presumably you know her well enough to know whether she would or would not know about whatever aspect of garage doors you were going on about?
- When the door is closed don't drive into the garage.
- When the door is closed don't drive out of the garage.

Boss: "I don't think I can be any clearer"
Employee: "I don't think you can either"
- When the garage door is open the pedal in the middle needs to be pressed to stop the car.
- When reversing out, the steering wheel needs to be straight until the front bumper has exited from the garage door frame.
3.Sat Navs or makeup mirrors are not useful aids for making a clean exit.
For some reason she's not talking to me today.
If anyone wants to borrow my H&S poster for using soldering irons ....

I can't work for you - I'd fail Point 1. Even if I hadn't burnt myself...

I would be unable to look at the poster for long as my blood pressure would rise (H+S). This is due to the spurious aprostrophe in point 2.
And yes, I know I mis-typed 'apostrophe'!
Never try and use the coil of plain aluminium wire in place of solder. The smell of burning finger pads is difficult to remove.
Then you're lucky the poster is the right way up, in the past I have placed such info on doors upside down as I knew students are more likely to read upside down notices. Try it sometime watch people as they try to read such a notice that they wouldn't even 'notice' if it were the right way up.

Still peaceful?
No. It has all kicked off again.
She has asked me to move my van (my van not the works van) off her lawn.
It's only "parked" there because she forgot to use the handbrake or leave it in gear the last time she drove it.
How inept.
What's she like with gas hobs?

Well remembered. One of the last ones tried to blow him and his council house up. Pity that she failed.
