My wife swears she doesn't do it on purpose, but I swear she sets booby-traps for me all over the house. At random intervals, I open a cupboard and have a bunch of cups fall out at me, or if I open the freezer, any number of small items that she perched on the top could fall into my hands. She wants me to believe that she's just a terrible housekeeper and doesn't know how to put things away properly, but I'm wise to her.

Anyway, she really outdid herself just now. The whole house is asleep except me and my son who was watching TV in the kitchen. I went in to make a snack, and when I opened the cupboard, of course a large, heavy ceramic mug flew out at me. It knocked into several plastic cups on the lower shelf and brought them down with it. They all hit the counter and sent various items flying, and the mug chipped. It was her mug, so I wonder if she really set this particular booby-trap on purpose.

So anyway, my son behind me says "what's that black thing on the stove?" I look at it and it appears to be a cell phone I've never seen before. It has a black lanyard that somehow became wrapped around the oven door latch. I picked up this odd device to examine it, and the lanyard came loose, causing my wife's new "pedometer with safety alarm" emit an ear-piercing screech. If only a video camera could have been there to catch me and my son desperately trying to fumble the little lanyard pin back into its' hole as the alarm screamed with the intensity of a thousand nuclear blasts. :thumbup:
 
Ahhh the booby traps. Gotta love 'em. My favorite is the pot and pan cupboard.
 
My daughters set booby traps for me all the time. Ff course, I usually know that they are up to something because they can't contain their laughter when they're setting it up. They like the pillow on top of the door trick the best. They also like to set up toys in the closet to come crashing down on me. While it is fun sometimes they go overboard. A few months I got hit in the head with huge tin of dominoes they placed on a partially opened french door in the playroom. I had no clue it was there and I saw stars. I was pretty mad. A new rule it that only soft things can go on the the tops of doors.
 
My dogs set traps for me. We buy them those pig-hooves, and they leave the chunks in strategic places so that I step on them in the dark if I have to get up and take a leak.
Also, the very-dark-brown labby will lay by my bed, invisible. I've stepped on him several times.

I have bunnies that stay in my house. They are litter trained and pretty much run free when we are home. We cage them when we leave. One of them is jet black and will sit by my bed, I've almost squashed her a couple times.

And the best part is.... if you squash the bunny, you can always make some hossenfeffer (or however you spell that)!;) :D
 
Dixie cup of water over the door was always a crowd pleaser- Just a *little bit* wet.
Big industrial rubber band/Bungee cord on opposite side doorknob is a hoot- Just enough slack to pull open & then the door gets taken away from you.
Short Sheeting. Oldie but Goodie.
Garlic Salt on the Toothbrush. Classic.
This doesn't work so well on modern cars, but I used to Love Love Love to get into my mother's old wagon & turn EVERYTHING on- wipers, radio, heater- Big fun. Only got clobbered a couple of times- Worth It.
 
Sounds like an innocent question. But the Mrs. has turned her half of the dresser into an improv game of jenga. Let's see. Infuzium, Frizz-eze, perfume, some other tubes and bottles I assume are lotions and some kind of facial scrub, Q-tips, head scarves, glasses case, comb, you gotta be f__king kidding me, a paperback novel, a lighter & smokes, lipstick, bottled water, half a can of Coke, oh for God's sake, a ball point pen & poetry notebook, both the remotes, more head scarves and a couple of those overgrown hair thingies- not the clippies, dammit Babe, lip gloss, a little box with hair rubber bands- not the clippies, f__k!, there goes a bottle of hair stuff, f__k! f__k! f__k!, Ah-HA!, I found the hair clippies. I feel like I found the Holy Grail or the Road to El Dorado.

P.S.- I just about killed myself tripping over the dogs. Two Bostons and one Shar-Pei/Lab mix in a dark hallway. You do the math. And then there are the cats. I don't want to step on Timmorn because I don't want to hurt him. I don't want to step on Guinevere (AKA Evil)because I don't want her to hurt me.
 
did somebody say boobies?

I always figured the most obvious booby-trap women spring is the "I do".

Sugar and Spice, Obey ..., etc.;all propaganda. It's "honey do this, honey do that, don't do that,...

That is the trap.

NOTE: Whether you enjoy the "pain" at times is immaterial, you're caught.
 
Aside from many women not having anything other than a casual relationship with the effects of gravity, there could be a serious side to this. Rather than just messing with you or her excuses made in jest, she may be having a depth perception problem. Watch and see whether she has problems getting things pushed fully onto shelves. She made just need glasses. or newer glasses.

But be kind as to how you suggest an eye exam. She might start setting booby traps.

Hey Guys...

LOL...

Ahh What fun...

I often set them on my wife...

Big plastic spider (Quarter sized) on fishing line taped to a cubbord door, so it swings down in her face when the door is opened...

If I catch mice in traps,, I'll put them in the Crapper and put the kid down as a Little Good morning gesture for her..

I put a Rubber Rat in the bath tub one time for her..Still can't find that one.. LOL

HeHe...

Great Fun...

Unfortunately or fortunately,,depending on how you look at it,, she doesn't have enough of an imagination to do it to me..

wait until they get up in the night for the toilet and hide outside the bathroom door with the lights off. When they open it again half asleep jump at them and scream

works a treat :D
