    I have a mean Wife

    I ordered a yeti and black mamba from Brandon when he got back from vacation. I have been waiting patiently for everything to get here. I get a notice on Monday stating everything has been shipped. After constantly checking the delivery status I see yesterday the item says delivered. On my way home from work I was talking to my wife and asking her if I got anything in the mail today, and she calmly tells me no. So I just blow it off thinking it will be here tomo. and continue to head home. I get home and after about 30 min I notice a box hidden by the wall and coffee table, and to my surprise it was my yeti and black mamba.

    Anyone else have any mean wife stories?

    Nothing new, pretty much word for word your story,,, just more than one time (married 34 years the 21st) over the years & different passions, but same story.

    When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.
    PAIN is INEVITABLE. MISERY is OPTIONAL.

    It won't take you long to learn the value of the secret Post Office Box.

    My girl isn't mean, she's quite gracious when she says "Oooo, I see you ordered me a new tarp! You're the greatest honey." What are you supposed to say to that and still get a peaceful night's sleep? I usually say, "You're welcome honey. You deserve it." Then I go in my gear room and cry.

    perfect example of a mean wife, one that steals your hammock and won't give it back

    haha, my fiance took a photo of the WBBB box that arrived yesterday, and sent it to my phone, fully knowing I wouldn't be home till after 9pm to take it out and look at it. Then she threatened to set it up in the basement and curl up with my puppy in it...

    Revenge is a dish best served cold.

    My wife threw me a suprise b-day party (not gear related) but a mean wife story all the same.

    I was heading to the shop, when the boss called and said theres an extra job to do and I have to do it....he was in on the scam too.
    So I hustle over to the job and do my thang, and head home.
    SUPRISE!!!

    EVERYBODY FROM WORK, FRIENDS, RELATIVES..Folks I aint seen in years.

    What a party, at least what I can remember, the pictures looked good at least..
    Ambulo tua ambulo.
