My step daughter just got a speeding ticket driving my car. I’ve got to show these youths how to drive responsibly!

I get a lot of shit for listening to audioboooks/podcasts on the speaker when I'm doing dishes, so I wear earbuds while doing chores around the house. Then Mrs. B gets pissed at me because I can't hear her talking to me and have to ask her to stop and start over once I take the earbuds out.

Is there a scenario where I am not the asshole? I'll do all the fucking chores in the world, I just want to listen to shit while I do it.

Do your earbuds have some sort of hear-through feature where you can hear her talking just fine while you listen?

Yeah, but it's awful.

i think the only option here is to double down and replace the earbuds with really large over-the-ear headphones just to drive the point home

You're probably right.

By the way, that post was about my wife's irrational hatred of having to wave at me before speaking, not my hatred of not being allowed to listen to stuff while I do chores. My hatred is totally rational.

I like to do chores with the buds in too, and run into the same issues. Thinking about getting this hat to wear:

I think you were just venting here, and fair enough. However, if you are actually asking... Maybe communicate what's going on with your wife. Tell her, "hey, I'm gonna put earbuds in to do some chores. If you need anything, I may not be able to hear you of you call out, so come find me."

Communication is key. *The more you know gif*

You think that wasn't step one? You think I'd come to RM if rational conversations could fix this shit?

Leave this board in shame, ep.

Fluoride treatments. Obviously a good idea, but then you walk around the rest of the day with crap on your teeth and keep licking it and feel self conscious even though you can’t see it.
