Plug Outlets

Imagine sleeping soundly in bed only to be awakened by your husband banging about. You ask if something is wrong and he grumbles. You go quiet knowing no fun will be had when he is in a "mood." Plug outlets. What? Apparently for the last 10 years of our sharing a life together Matt has been fuming inside over my choice of which outlet to plug my hair appliances to. Top or bottom.

Have you ever considered which one to plug your hair dryer into? I have not. I did not realize there was some sort of method to doing it right. I assumed that if you plug it in and it turns on all is well with the world. Not so much for Matt. It kills him that I unplug his electric razor to plug in my dryer. He thinks I should simply put mine on the bottom and then replug his in on top. Ok. Weird weird land of man brain here. Apparently all this time it has upset him that I am not SHARING the outlet with his things.

Let me pause and say that we do not get ready at the same time. It never occured to me that I need to SHARE the outlets with someone who is not needing them at the time. In all things that make sense this does not to me. He thinks my logic is broken and that I should be walking into walls because I don't think before I plug. How freaking retarded is this argument? Have you EVER in your life had an argument over something so silly and mundane? He is not in the bathroom why oh why would he care about this?

I could rant and rave for hours I believe over this one because he woke me up to lay into me on this and then I just laid in bed fuming over all the reasons his reasoning are so very flawed. The number one reason is that you are wasting electricity leaving appliances not being used plugged in. You should always unplug once you are done and put away. So the whole thing is me being a good citizen of Planet Earth. Ha ha! So from now on I will make sure that I always do put away all the appliances as a courtesy to him for forgetting and I will forgive him his lack of logic in that one.

SIDE NOTE: It irks me that he leaves things plugged in. That is why I unplug it and put it away. Drives me batty that he leaves his shaving stuff out on the counter every day. The shaving cream can always leaves a rust ring on the counter top and who do you suppose cleans that off? Hmm??? Ok, unlike him I deal with these slight irritations and move on with my life. I do not and have never let them sit and fester under my skin for an entire decade. Again how pointless is that and all the energy wasted on it? I correct what irritates me and move on with my day. If I did not I would probably erupt at 2 am over something stupid like him leaving the phone charger plugged in all the time with nothing charging on the kitchen counter top... grrr. Relax, release, relate. Another day another dummy.
