DonS 3,319 Posted 19 hours ago I'm sure we've all been accused of "Mansplaining" by the wife What's an example of a time where you had to bite your tongue when your wife asks you an incredibly stupid question? Last night I'm watching SEA/TOR ALCS Game 1. She joins me and asks if all the M's players are switch hitters. I casually reply that nope, while some are switch hitters most are only left handed or right handed. She then asked why are they wearing a patch that says "Switch" then? She was referring to the "Nintendo Switch 2" sponsorship patch that is on their unis. I think I deserve an award for not laughing and simply explained what it was. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife would have to be willing to listen to something I said in order for me to be guilty of mansplaining. There's no point in explaining anything to someone that already knows everything.

thegeneral 3,490 Posted 1 hour ago I had a 5 minute explanation of the fair catch just this last weekend with Misses General during the IU Oregon game. She just said that doesn’t make sense and lost interest. Glad she didn’t ask about the NFL kickoff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lickin_starfish 1,994 Posted 30 minutes ago Sometimes, my wife gets uppity and makes a comment that I don't cook my own meals. I tell her that while I CAN cook, I don't prefer to do it. I then remind her that she literally has no idea how to do any of the things I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,853 Posted 7 minutes ago My wife is the one that over-explains simple concepts. In fact, she gets mad at me because I give her the speed it up sign when she's explaining some situation and is like, "Then I said... Then she said... Then I said..." After a few minutes of that, I usually say, "I get the gist. I don't need the play-by-play account," and she freaks the F out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
