    I will be talking on the phone with my wife and she will scream like a mass murderer walked around the corner. When I ask frantically what is wrong, she says in a shrill voice "a spider just ran across the floor!"

      Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

        My wife's parents are terrible at relating information. They will happily lead off every story with something traumatic/tragic/outlandish, which then quickly devolves into the mundane. Classic example when I once stopped by to pick up something for my wife. Her brother was serving in Baghdad at the time and after a couple of minutes of small talk, the conversation went like this:

        In-laws: So did you hear Tom got shot?

        Me: WHAT!?

        In-laws: At. He got shot at.

        Me: Wow. Okay.

        In-laws: Yeah, the transport he was in got shot at.

        Me: Um...

        In-laws: It was actually the last transport in the convoy he was in that got shot at.

        Me: Okay, that is a completely different story than what you led off with.
        Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

        None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

        I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.
