Mmm, almost passive aggressive, that. I get similar, but more often direct abuse about all the little jobs I keep putting off!
My wife thinks I'm a beast - one time while I was in the hospital the yard needed mowing. Especially the little front yard - for vanity purposes.
So she gassed up the mower and mowed probably 75% of the entire yard.
"That was so hard! No wonder you're tired after mowing!"
One day I showed her the bar near the handle of the mower -
"pull that.""!!!"
"Yeah- it's self-propelled. All you have to do is follow it and not fall asleep!"Stig
