Whenever I’m picking the Mrs up from anywhere public I wait until she’s seen my car and is just a few feet away before beeping, flashing my lights and waving wildly to ‘attract her attention’ (and usually the attention of everyone else in the vicinity).

She loves it.

My TV used to ask me to “higher the tele” (as in turn the volume up) and I would walk over and lift it up several inches.

Side note: I’ve still not heard anyone else use that phrase, is it a normal thing that other people say?

Extremely cruel imo

He gets his revenge with stout farts, so he’s in no position to complain.

Is this stout the drink, or stout = sturdy? Prefer the latter, but either is good tbf.

I would imagine that one would automatically provide the other.

We’ve reached the pinnacle. Not just of this thread, but of everything. Close down the internet now, please.

I thought of a few.

When he says ‘you’re wrong’ I pretend to be angry and say ‘I’m not Ron’ and then just get more angry and spell my name out when he repeats it.

If he says ‘can’t’ or ‘you can’t’ I do the whole mock shock thing and say ‘there’s no need to call me that!’

When holding hands I’ll either make my hand really limp or use my thumb to tickle his palm.

I do similar to this but make my hand completely rigid - I call it Action Man Hand.

Also, if she moves to hold hands while we’re walking I’ll take her by the wrist and lead her along while holding it at shoulder height :+1:

I work with two Hannahs. If I mention one of them in conversation to Mrs Fox, she always asks ‘which one?’. This has great potential.

For example, earlier on, during some Halloween chat:
‘Oh, Hannah has gone to that scare fest thing at Alton Towers tonight’

‘Which one?’

‘There’s only one Alton Towers, isn’t there?’

On a similar note we know two Niamhs in our family, one is a friend of the TV and one is at school with our ten year old. I make out that I am permanently baffled by this.

TV : I’m out to the pub tonight with Niamh

Me : not sure that’s a good idea, won’t it be a bit late for her? What do her parents think?

Took this up a notch whilst on holiday.

I started to remove all towels from the hotel bathroom. This meant he had to call through to me and I got to take in the towels, wrap him up and go “dry the baby, dry the baby” and coo a lot.

Managed to do it 4 days in a row.

Me: Ooh i’ve got such bad period pains today.
Him: Me too!!

He has done this every month, for the entire duration of our relationship.

Any time I’m cooking dinner:

TV: "How close is dinner?"
Me: Looks at oven “Maybe 50 centimetres or so?”

Every time something like ‘child psychologist’ or ‘paediatric oncologist’ comes up (news articles, medical programs, her job in a hospital): “Not sure I’d trust a child to do that job to be honest…”
