Husband bashing!

“Having nothing better to do, my wife and some lady friends were indulging in some husband-bashing – in my presence!” writes a Craigie regular.

“My wife related how she wanted to paper and paint the lounge, while I wanted to watch the World Cup. We did both: I sat in the middle of a dust-sheetcovered lounge with even the telly under wraps, while my wife decorated.

“The arrangement worked very well until I had the temerity to say: ‘You have missed that bit up there.’

“As if that were not bad enough, I said later: ‘Are we not getting any tea tonight?’

“One lady went one better. Her husband is a computer fanatic and was sitting in the window with his headphones on, absorbed in his hobby, while his wife pruned a tree in the garden from the top of a ladder.

“Suddenly, the ladder went from under her and she was left dangling from a branch she had grabbed as she fell. She shouted to her husband whom she could see clearly, but he was oblivious. Try as she might, she could not attract his attention.

“At last, the next-door neighbour heard the commotion, saw her plight and started to run to help her, but, just then, she gave up on any chance of help and climbed gingerly down hand over hand.

“The neighbour thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen, but her husband was not so amused when an irate wife came seeking vengeance!”
