you savages dip your potato chips? that's for corn chips
good potato chips not only don't need any dip, they're better without it
Agreed.
And the only good chips are:
If they're not made by old Pennsylvania Dutch ladies, they just aren't the same.
Who wants to break it to him
I've been to the plant in PA. Literally...there are little old Pennsylvania Dutch ladies who work there. It's mandatory.
It's the same theory behind good pierogies or halupkies. The older and more hunched over the old Pennsylvania Dutch, Ukrainian, Polish, and/or Russian lady is making them, the better they taste.
NO. I asked a question, give me any answer other than this. Let's not be walking, talking stereotypes of married people, please! The answer may very well be that you don't care, but I've found that 99% of the time you actually care a lot about what we eat even when you say you don't and then you make sure I regret having made a decision based on your lack of input. Save us both the trouble, and either tell me what you would honestly be happy eating, or honestly don't care when I do decide.

So, there is a plant with a BFOQ that you have to be old and Penn Dutch?
That might be the strangest thing I've ever heard.

Have you been to Pennsylvania? It's like Deliverance, only with better food and more Amish people.

Look, I get where you're coming from on this one. But the problem isn't that she doesn't care, but likely it's more that she's feeling choice exhaustion. This happens to Usagi frequently. She's probably just expressing it poorly, but what she doesn't care about is the act of making the choice. That doesn't mean she doesn't care what you choose for dinner. Yes, it can be frustrating when Usagi wants me to make a decision on what to do for dinner and then she shoots down my choices until I find someone she wants, but I also understand that the real problem is mental fatigue and that she just doesn't have the energy left to deal with making relatively unimportant choices like that after a day of everyone at work asking her to make decisions that are actually important and difficult.
I don't presume to know what's going on with your wife and her typical day when this happens, but that's what it sounds like.

I know I've had the feeling before that I'm hungry and I don't know what I want, but most things I think of I don't feel like having. It's frustrating.

I think it's a common enough thing with most couples, married or not, that it happens regardless of the day he/she had. I mean I know what you're saying, but if what she wants is for me to make decisions for her to veto until I make one she likes, then that's what she should say. "I don't care" implies something totally different. At this point I'm aware enough to know that she really does care, but I already have enough labyrinthine minds to navigate. I just want to be spoken plainly to.
And it's not like a Seinfeld thing where we have to break up now because "she's an I-don't-carer!" She's working on being more transparent and I'm working on not wearying of decrypting her words from what she says into what she means.

I get that when I'm grocery shopping and it feels like I've already eaten every combination of all foods that I like and I'm just so bored with food.
One time I ate a bread with salt on it. I would kill each every single one of you to that bread again. Our tears would be gathered up and boiled for more salt.
Well, when someone's mentally exhausted it can also be difficult to find the precise wording to clearly communicate to you, "I'm mentally exhausted and I don't want to make a choice myself, but I do care what you choose for dinner and I'll now answer your questions about what I mean by that."
When you're mentally exhausted, it's easier to just say "you choose, please"
It's not like women have exclusive claim to communicating poorly at times.

FAO prospective boyfriends: I actually don't care what we eat. As long as you're paying.
@Weaver Well now everybody knows how annoying I am and how fast you are at correcting yourself!
It's win/win.
Also Tube I did not know that but a quick Google and yep, the man limits mundane decision-making like what to eat for breakfast. I always learn something new around here.
Usually in SE++ it has to do with butts in some way.
I was having a really great dream that got annoying fast. Started off as being newly married to a lady that looked like a ScarJo/Christini Hendricks blend, and it's all sexy and we've just moved into a nice coastal villa. Then we somehow adopt a ghost child so now not only do we have to take care of a kid, he's also a ghost. Then she starts making me break into nearby homes to check for signs of vampires and oh no the mayor is getting suspicious and won't stop snooping around the house.
If my wife tells me to choose and she doesn't care, then she doesn't get to shoot down whatever I choose. She can try, but I'll just ignore her.
Then when we get there she forgets that she ever objected to my decision because deep down she really doesn't care and will eat whatever is put in front of her.

I love Reeses and the dark chocolate ones are the best.

Oh that's for sure. My problem is usually just not feeling like talking at all. So I'm worse in a lot of ways.
Some Einstein type shit.

People who dislike good movies can be pretty annoying. Gotta love them Canadian werewolf movies, eh?
The second one is pretty good too. The third isn't really, but I like that they just went 'fuck it, they've gone back in time!'
I'd watch that movie.
You couldn't feed it solid food so it doesn't poop. You don't have to buy it clothing or worry about it falling out of the crib.
Sounds pretty awesome to me.

You might be satan.
