Stupid Fights With Your Partner
How NOT to argue with your “Surprise Tater Tot in the Fries Bag”

100% not inspired by real-life arguments with my wife.
Act One
“Boo Mama, have you seen my fleece vest? You know, the one I wear daily to look like a hedge fund manager on holiday in Switzerland. We’re late for the work event you don’t want to attend, where people tell me I’m important.” ¹
[He wonders why she has not offered assistance after fifteen minutes of frantic searching for the apparel in question. He gives up in frustration and storms outside to the minivan.]
“Why aren’t you helping, Sweet Cheeks?”
“You didn’t ask for my help, Irish Stud Muffin,” she responds.
What should he say next?
“Butter Bosoms, was it not obvious I needed help? Do I have to program you line by line like a 1960s computer?”
[Incorrect, please try again]
My one-and-only Splenda Lips, after fifteen years of marriage, don’t you know it’s your job to read my mind and then do the stuff I never asked?
[Error]
Junk-in-the-Trunk, your sister would have found my vest by now — because she went to MIT and works at NASA.
[Worse than the first one]
Mon Petit Chou Chou, would you do me the honor of donning the epic quest of hunting for thine lost vestiges of Patagucci?
[Try saying it without sarcasm or an actor on Game of Thrones]
Everlasting Love Nugget, will you please help me find my missing fleece?
[Winner, Winner, Make your d*nm dinner]
