So tell us about your wife/girlfriend's uncanny radar

Sign in to disble this ad
It seems that most guys old ladys seem to have some type of uncanny radar. My wife has the ability to sense when I am about to make a right turn into traffic, merge into a busy highway, avoid truck veering into my lane and decides that is the best time to call me. More often than not, if I'm that situation and my phone rings, I see my wife's number on the caller ID.

So how about you guys?

My girlfriend can tell instinctively when I've been drinking rum, even without getting close to me.

My girlfriend can tell when I'm mad or upset just by talking to me on the phone.

My gf has the uncanny ability to know when I'm about to say something extremely silly. As soon as my lips barely part to speak, she points at me and starts laughing. Actually, come to think of it, she does that all the time even when I'm just sitting there. *sigh*

Also, on the same line as Jive, it seems that she wants to 'talk' the moment I become really engrossed in something.

My wife seems to be able to sense when I am;
a) not going to put that cup in the dishwasher
b) going forget to feed the animals before we go to bed
c) going to choose to watch "Mythbusters" and do a crossword puzzle over mow the lawn on a cool Sunday morning

Uncanny...

BTW - re: the word uncanny; is there such a thing as 'canny'? I'd love to know so I can understand the un part better.

My wife does that too, except she goes outside and starts the getaway car. She's been around me long enough to know when I'm going to say something to incite a riot.

There's some truth in that. I put it down to having two parents who were in the Royal Navy. I'm also the only person I know who eats whole limes (peeled, obviously) and enjoys them. Coincidence? I think not!

(Mind you, I'm also the only person I know who always buys limes in threes so that he can juggle them while waiting at the checkout... perhaps I'm just odd)

I've always thought that Mrs. SupaStar deserves her own parade and a key to the city for the bravery that she has shown in the line of duty.

Some have a terrible sense of direction-as in North, South, East, and West. Though the women folk get picked on about this waaaay more than men.

You guys allow your women to carry cell phones? Pfft!

Just kidding. But really, my gf doesnt have a cell, so I avoid the unneccesary phone calls. If she really needs to get ahold of me she walks to the pay phone, like they still have those anywhere.

She also happens to never get mad at anything... well anything except me getting mad at her. Fair enough.

And she's great with directions.

Though she is a horrible klutz, and often ends up covered in bruises. I tell her, people are gonna think I beat you. And she just says, well stop beating me then.
