What do you do when your wife/GF is away?

Lots and lots of videogames.

Movies she doesn't like, really loud. Preferably anything with John Wayne.

Loud things in the garage at odd hours, air tools, etc. Cleaning triumph carbs, listening to Zeppelin, and drinking bourbon at 1am on a Tuesday.

I cook things she doesn't like, or I get take-out that she doesn't like, etc.



Kind of nice, actually, although I wouldn't want to do it for any length of time. Just a couple days.

I iron my shirts.

This has been a running joke with my girlfriend for a long time, as I'm always showing her posts here that I find funny, and she is at least a respecter and tolerator of Styleforum now. She laughs about it now and of course doesn't really care, but she used to flip out when she would see me ironing a week's worth of shirts and get on me for wasting the time and not just taking them to the laundry.

It's always a joke for us that I can go to a strip club anytime I want, but I have to sneak the ironing in when she's gone.

I love this thread.

Personally, I walk around in my birthday suit and if I do get dressed it is nothing more than basketball shorts. Go through my DVR and netflix streaming that she isn't interested in and just have personal time. I usually do a thorough clean for when she comes home so that it's all nice and tidy.

I really liked the statement about partner in crime, it's nice to go to your little hideout between committing some crimes so that you can plot for your next one.

start wanking, keep wanking, listen for noises of anyone coming, then keep wanking.

Sleep, wake, wank.

When she gets back...stop wanking.

Does she know how much money you're saving every month by avoiding the cleaners? A good cleaners charges about $5/shirt and thats 30/shirts a month so ~ $150/mo. You can of course go to the one that puts your shirts in a huge press and permanently embeds the stains in them for $1/shirt, but you can see where that would also end up being expensive.

I always think that I'm going to hang out with the boys more and do weird things, but I end up doing the same things I always do except maybe I'll go to a music store and buy like a digital device for my guitar or something she'd have .0% interest in.

Appreciation binge followed by my regular routine. I too get pretty restless after about day 2.3
