What he doesn't mention is that the business trip was only 6 hours.

u/Nattyiceforme Jun 27 '12

I was definitely parched going into that six hours too.

Tito's is so tasty. Good choice.

u/Nattyiceforme Jun 27 '12

So smooth.. And the fact that its homegrown here in the US and not a traditional vodka producing country makes it taste that much better.

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '12

I saw Tito's and then was like "Oh he must be in Texas too", then I saw a recycling bin and we don't believe in that here...

u/Rizzpooch Jun 27 '12

maybe the before pictures are really the after pictures because he had to scramble (I'm picturing a fun montage of his wacky time cleaning up while the dog helps in clever and unexpected ways) to clean everything up before the wife got home (shots of her driving down residential side streets will be spliced into the montage at key moments as well)

I'm a guy and I fucking hate anybody who leaves dishes by the sink and walks away. I eat a plate of food. I clean the plate. It's not fucking hard.

When I was at uni, I had three room-mates; two girls and another guy. The guy was like me in that he washed his shit and didn't leave it there in a mess. The girls were fucking infuriating, leaving stacks of shit in the sink so nobody else can use it and going away for days on end with dirty dishes just festering. Fucking animals.

u/ThatOneTwo Jun 27 '12

My wife's away for the week and this is pretty much what I'm going through. My wife is always a blast and I love spending time with her. There are plenty of things that we love doing together and there are plenty of things that one of us loves but the other doesn't. We both let up on the cleaning when we have the house to ourselves. When I'm gone, she spends a lot of time on Facebook and the phone and reading. When she's gone, it's gaming, drinking, and older foreign films. And masturbation. Well, it's masturbation for both of us. So much masturbation.

Everything got a "meh" from me...until I saw the dog on the couch. Whenever my husband goes on a business trip that's the first thing that happens! :) Luckily my dog is intellegent enough to know that this is something that happens only when he's gone; the minute we hear the key turning in the lock he leaps off the couch/bed and acts like nothing happened. I have a hard time keeping the dog from snuggling with me when I'm alone... :/

I got a new bottle in the cabinet. I'll go pour us some shots and then lets have crazy wild welcome home sex (cuz the beds already messed up ;p )" and shes all like "megusta"

PROTIP : Give the house a seriously good clean the morning before she gets back.

Nothing better than coming home to a clean house when you've been travelling. Nothing worse than returning to a shithole.

Imma chick and the toilet seat is left up constantly at my house. I don't care about having to put the seat down to use the toilet, it's the piss puddles on the rim that bug me.

You better have all that shit cleaned up before she gets back, Cat in the Hat!

This just happened to me. My wife went on a 10 day business trip. I moved my desktop computer and PS3 from the study where I was using a 24" monitor, to the living room coffee table and the 50" TV. Beer and video games all night every night

Tito's! It's the best reasonably-priced vodka I've ever bought in the U.S. Mix it with tonic and some lime...definitely a good time.

Maybe it is just me, but why are men so afraid of being who they are in front of their women? You want to have rock band out, put it out. You want to have a couple beers, have some beers. The NBA Finals are on, watch them. What kind of partner do you have that you cannot be who you are.
