Maximum Cookie Saturation Interval.

In My Humble Opinion
1

Everyone’s spouse/friend/SO has at least one behavior that drives the other batshit. For me it is the way Thom eats cookies and milk. He dips his cookies for entirely too long in what seems to be on a quest to determine each cookie’s Maximum Saturation Interval.

Now the MSI is the amount of time in which a cookie can be submerged before it disintegrates.

Why should this bother me you ask? Because Thom really doesn’t like to drink milk, he just likes to dunk the cookie. I like milk, I drink it and since I have a glass there anyway and he doesn’t intend to actually drink it, he thinks it is OK to abuse my glass of milk.

Now I wouldn’t mind it either if he was a better judge of cookie saturation but he is not. Only one cookie out of five actually immerges intact. (not that I’m keeping track) The others collect in a sort of thin gruel at the bottom of MY glass. I do not like to drink gruel. :stamps foot:

Last night I sat down to enjoy my pecan sandies and milk and here comes Thom with his cookie out. Knowing that pecan sandies have an extremely short MSI, I paniced and just covered the top of my glass with my hand and wailed “No More!” After much heated debate and bargaining I allowed that I would let him use my milk if I was allowed to dip it for him.

Now the simple solutions would be for him to get his own glass. He is resistant because like I said he doesn’t intend to drink the rest of the glass when he is finished with the cookies. It’s the little things that make you crazy.

So what does the love of your life do that drives you insane?

You’re not reading this, are you, darling? Please?

He’s started putting the cans to be recycled on top of the chest freezer, therefore making it impossible to access said freezer. I am trying to break this habit. I’ll report back on my sucess/lack of after our honeymoon.

I can tell you what I do that drives him crazy. I leave books in the bed. I’m trying not to do it at his place, because he says that there’s nothing like falling into bed at the end of a tiring day and AAAUGH!!! &^%#%$^!! landing on War And Peace. I think he’s just fussy and silly. It doesn’t bother me, why should it bother him? :smiley:

I also create a huge mess when I cook, and don’t remember to put the lids back on jars. We’re working on that, too. I’ll post again if I can remember anything else.

Mermaid, your story is great.
