It’s World Hearing Day today!
All wise men say happy wife, happy life, but surely, there are instances in which you feign ignorance and pretend not to have heard what your wife has said.
What are those occasions? And how do you get away scot-free? Share your pro tips.
It’s easier for me. My wife speaks Japanese; I switch off my cognitive capabilities; she lets it go because it’s too cumbersome translating her thoughts into English for me 🤣
I have a hard time paying attention to anything so i space out all of the time. It annoys my wife, but she knows it's not intentional.
How do you keep focussed on the roads?
Well, it keeps me from dying, so that helps. But I actually do space out a little bit.
That's a dangerous game you're playing.
I eat trouble for breakfast
It sure sounds like it.
Never. No need to fake it. I really am deaf.
Do you wear a hearing aid then? Or lip-read?
Neither. I'm just losing my hearing a bit. It sometimes cones in handy!
When she farts.
Good to know she isn’t infallible
Yes, the language barriere is always a good excuse ;)
I just told her (when I don't want to "hear" what she said/ask) I was so concentrated on other things.
Honestly...the best way to get away scot-free is to HEAR what she want, and you obey her (in my case this is the 100% "winning chance")
Also good to read between the lines and give her what she wants before she asks for it xP
