Fun with Eric - Water Spots

In every marriage there are quirks. For example - Eric doesn't like it when I hang things on door handles and I don't like it when he doesn't recycle bottles and cans and I find them laying the trash. Most of the time I would say it's best to be respectful and try NOT to do the things that drive your partner up a wall..........

....but sometimes life can be so BORING. And other times pay-backs can be a bitch.

As it turns out sqeegee'ing the shower doors is something Eric is very passionate about. And it's no secret that NOT waking up before my alarm goes off is something that I'm very passionate about.

Eric wakes up and showers BEFORE my alarm goes off.....

Eric: *Clean but standing in the shower to drip dry* Are you going to get in the shower?

Me: *sleepy* yes

Eric: Are you suuuuuuuuuuuure?

Me: *sleepily annoyed* YES!

Eric: *drying off* Get up! You're going to be late!

Me: *sleepily annoyed*

Eric: *getting dressed* Get in the shower!

Me: *sleepily pissed off* I WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILL!

Eric: *walking out the door* Don't forget to take a shower!

Me: ERIC! *Eric quietly leaves* WHY DO YOU KEEP TELLING ME TO GET IN THE DAMN SHOWER!

ERIC?

ERIC?

ERIC!!!!!!!!!

10 Minutes later, on my own time, I get up to get in the shower. I still can't shake the feeling of being harassed while I was trying to enjoy those last 30 minutes of sleep so I give Eric a little ringy-ding-ding on the celly......

Eric: Hello?

Me: Why did you want me to get in the shower so bad?

Eric: Because you need to shower.

Me: That's my business. What's the real reason? Do I smell bad? Why?

Eric: Because I don't want the water spots to dry on the door! And ....................

Me: Are you aware of how rediculous you sound right now?

Eric: Yes, but if I'd known you were going to take so long to get in the shower I would have just cleaned them myself. If you don't clean the doors, the water stains are just harder to get off and.......

Me: I'm going to stand here and watch these water spots dry on the shower doors just to show you how the world is not going to come to an end if there are water spots on the doors.

Eric: CLEAN THE DOORS!

Me: No. I'm not going to clean these doors.

Eric: I'm serious. CLEAN THE DOORS!

Me: *smiling*
