That look you get when you tell the wife you will be getting a package... (1 Viewer)

We all know that look - here's the one I get...

I'd love to get @pltrgyst 's take on this

 

[pltrgyst]

Why on Earth would you ever do that?

As a disgraced comedian once said, "Go get me a stick so I can beat you to death."

The trick is to have packages arrive so frequently that they get used to it. Not that I would know...


p.s. If she starts rolling the eyes, run.

Exactly!...and why does she need to see anything arrive....send them to third party address and keep most of them locked up in a Seville Classics UltraHD tool chest.

If you have an office...

Deliver to work

 

[BPTDirector]

The look would be much worse if the delivery person looked like Courage's UPS delivery photo.
Of course if my delivery person looked like that the deliveries would be much more frequent as well.

I posted this several months back, but I believe it belongs here too.

I don't get eye rolls anymore, now I just get snarky text messages when my mailbox gets stuffed with multiple MFRB full of chips.

Jennifer sounds AWESOME!

My strategy is making my wife's share of the poker winnings roughly the same as the cost of chips. She gets a couple of hundred bucks a month, in cash from the Poker Gods and never said a word about too many chips.

She did get a little cranky when I took up the kitchen counter for some photo shoots - but that is a different discussion

View attachment 39944 We all know that look - here's the one I get...

I could live with just a look.
It's never just a look.

 

[BPTDirector]

This was preparing her for my Stardust Poker Group buy quarters that should get here sometime in the next few days or so.

That said, there have been numerous deliveries in the last 10 or 11 years and she is still with me...

 

[detroitdad]

My chip purchases all come out of my winning's. I don't ever get the look. Of course I haven't been "winning" since the Florida meet up so the packages that come to the house have decreased

 

[SixSpeedFury]

How about the look you get when you tell the wife you will be getting THE package?.......No? Carry on.......

Oh, I like this idea.

Does she have to pony up when you run bad?

This is why I got a PO box. My wife is English and swears like a sailor.

Ha. I'm not much of a betting man, but I'd lay a considerable sum of money (or chips) that my wife has a bigger potty mouth than yours

 

[phaze12]

my wife was looking over my shoulder when i was reading this thread and said "atleast i am not the only one".



i think that means i have some leeway. thanks guys!

 

[Rhodeman77]

I have everything I buy shipped to my work. But my wife caught onto that years ago. She doesn't give me any grief as long as I am using poker money and not "household" money.

She also enjoys the Amazon gift cards I have sent to her email when I have a winning night, so she usually ends up with about $100 a month.

 

[bentax1978]

Now I feel guilty.

Not only did I not buy my wife any Amazon gift cards with my poker winnings, I've been using her frequent flyer miles to travel to all the PCF meetups this year.

 

[Rhodeman77]

The Amazon gift cards are a small thank you for letting me sleep in a little after getting home at 4am while she gets up with our daughters (ages 3 & 2).

Also I am still paying her back for the 3 Vegas trips in the last 9 months that she didn't get to go on.

Over all I have it pretty damn good at home!

Tell? Wife? Package? What is this nonsense you speak of?

Poker chips are the anti-socks - they just appear, no one knows how.

 

[pokerplayingpisces]

"Really? More poker chips?"

If I had a buck for every time I heard that, well I'd have a lot more money to buy even more chips!

 

[stocky]

The only time my wife had an issue was when we were leaving for lunch and I saw the delivery van drive past. So I did a u-turn and followed him to my house

 

[Dwight87]

You can always bring up why she has so many black shoes, or purses, or insert whateva she buys in quantity here as a way to understand the need for more chips!

That wouldn't have worked with me.

...and I bet the photo in the original post is the look anyone gets if they give Marsha shit about chips showing up.

note: she is holding the phone camera with one hand and a baseball bat with the other.

 

[Mr. Cheese]

If you have an office...

Deliver to work

99% of my packages are delivered to my work so I can be there to scoop them up right away. I hate the idea of leaving one of my babies alone and defenseless on the steps out in the cold.

Something like that -- my ooshka ooshka look.

 

[RainmanTrail]

I must be lucky. My wife sends me pictures when a package arrives while I'm at work. Plus tells me which of my chips are prettier than the other ones and even helps me clean the dirty ones sometimes!
