....by getting annoyed that she was watching me type as I posted in a thread here on TB. I get annoyed when she does that. It's almost like reading over your shoulder.
Am I a bad guy or does anyone else get annoyed at this stuff? I'm not hiding anything or looking at anything I'm not supposed to. It's just TB. I just get annoyed at her when she does that stuff.
Am I alone in this or am I normal?

Then I'll get a sentence in on a post here, or returning a short e-mail to a friend or family, and she is up, practically leaning over my lap (I'm sitting in a chair with a laptop...in my lap (how appropriate). "Who you writing to? What are you writing?" Drives me nuts. I get sarcastic. She says thats mean.

That happened 21 months ago when my son was born. Now we have a 2 month old daughter too. I love my family but hate it when they read while I type.

My wife was doing something similar today, not reading but I was on the computer trying to balance our checking account and trying to think about how much I had to deposit into checking and she kept asking me questions when I would deduct something on the calculator........... -$50 (drum lesson)... then she would say"whats that for.... I though you already pulled that from checking?..... when is your lesson?
by the time she was done asking questions I forgot what the hell I was trying to figure out and had to start over |

but I may just be alone in this

Maybe she was talking to you and you were not paying attention because you was busy watching new Valenti's creation ...so she was curios and wanted to see what can be more important than her... |

|  | THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER! | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: USA; Mitchellville, Maryland | | Serious mad, or teeth sucking noise mad for two seconds then she's cool mad? Either way I would've deleted whatever I was typing and typed in all caps "HAVING FUN SNOOPING, HUN  ?" then look back at her for a reaction  . I figure she would either smile n' laugh or she'd just walk away. both of which are good because they get her off your shoulder.
This reminds me of back when I used to take my gameboy to summer camp (yea, I was that kid ) other kids would just sit there, breathing over my shoulder and watching me play and if I told them to back off a bit they'd get angry at me. Usually, I'd move or physically get them to get off of my shoulder but I can see how neither would work as well with a wife  .

Make her sit down and show her all the things that give you GAS. When she says you already have too much gear, show her the Bowlus profile.
Then... show her some sweet bass porn.  If she's not into it, show her the Bass Face thread.
She doesn't need to worry. She has to know that TB is mostly a bunch of dudes. Just don't get caught scoping out the Bass Babes thread.
Peace,
Joe

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Yuma, Az | | | I just start showing her pictures of JT's Conklin collection, and yammering about whatever the thread's about when my wife walks in the room. Sometimes I don't wait until she asks; if I'm getting ready to buy something I start showing her threads on it, dragging her over to look at pictures, etc, until she's used to the idea, and lets me buy it so that I'll just shut up about it.
I haven't had her stare over my shoulder in years. She knows it only encourages my geekery.
She also respects that I like to finish what I'm typing before talking about anything; would that my horde of chitlins (four now) would do the same. I sometimes have three kids trying to simultaneously crawl in my lap while I'm typing.
