Apparently driving the MF 35 across the wife's manicured front yard is frowned upon where i live. Also busted getting stabilizer bars out of my van, wanting them for awhile.
 
Yup.
Got busted too a couple years ago on lift arms. Had shoulder surgery and was in a sling when the new lift arms arrived. Well, I was sitting around staring at the walls when she left for the store. Doc"s orders to do nothing and hers (she"s a nurse...).
After about 15 min of staring at the new lift arms and the tractor, I figured out a way using some blocks and my foot to replace the lift arms. Was almost finished when she pulled into the drive. Got noisy real quick...
 
I got drunk one time and parked my truck. In my wife's flower bed. Dogs sure got tired of me sleeping with them. Women just don't understand.
 
A friend of mine drove across our front lawn one time then came in the barn where I was. Psyco exwife came running in the barn screaming at him and shoved a loaded 12 guage double barrel against the back of his head. I yelled at her and told her to put that thing down,it's loaded. I thought Harley was going to pass out.
 
And here I thought I was the only one. I made the mistake of building a house closer to the barn rather than in the other end of the field. So the back lawn gets used at times for a shortcut for silage wagons and a planter road rather than going out on the main road. She just can't be convinced that the grass comes back and the ruts disappear. The cows never catch it when they get out. Just me when I get out--
 
A number of years ago, two of my wife's brothers and I were pouring a sidewalk from the front of our garage along the side to a walk-in door at the rear. It included a pad to park a grill.

None of us were inclined to wheelbarrow the concrete, so we just told the driver to back the readi-mix truck alongside the forms for the sidewalk. It was in the fall, and I thought the ground was pretty solid. It did make maybe 1" deep tracks that disappeared by the next spring.

My wife came home from work about the time the truck was pulling out and pitched a fit over a readi-mix truck on HER lawn. One of her brothers told her that HE'D told the driver to back on the lawn, said it wasn't his lawn and he didn't give a s**t.

After both of my wife's brothers' wives showed up and I picked up the tab for dinner for all six of us, things got back to semi-normal, but my wife still swears she can find the tracks on the lawn when she mows.
 
lol lift arms? i got caught by my ex sneaking a whole tractor home one time,tried convincing her that tractor was always here and i was just moving it,.... new wife likes tractors...
 
You guys just don't have your spouses properly trained! Mine could care less if I drive on the lawn.

Back about 1890 a young couple got married and after the reception got on the wagon and headed home with 2 horses pulling the wagon.

They go a little way and one horse stumbles and the groom says "that's once". His bride looks at him funny but says nothing. Little ways later the horse stumbles again, the groom says "that's twice". Again the bride wonders whats going but says nothing. A little bit later the horse stumbles a 3rd time, the groom grabs a pistol from under the seat, says "that's 3" and shoots the horse. His bride starts yelling at him about shooting the horse and as he's putting the pistol back under the seat he looks at her and says "thats once".

Yeah, I'd like to know too!
At least I can buy tractors and equipment without having to 'sneak' it home, if they meet one of two conditions: 1)I'm going to resell for a profit or 2)they're a replacement for something that I already have, and will improve safety (like a cab tractor replacing an open one - less chance of skin cancer!) or cut costs.
 
Man, that lawn, all acre and a half of it, is her pet project. Says it's her R&R.

Coupla times I've thought I'd be a good guy and mow it for her, and I wound up getting chewed out for doing it wrong.

So--she mows it.
 
It used to take my wife 15 minutes to make my sandwich in the morning. I complained about it, and now it only takes me about 5 minutes to make.
 
You ought to see my lawn after the roofing crew backed their dumptruck up to the house to collect removed shingles and debris. Gonna let frost heave it back up, and if that doesn't work, guess I'll have to do a bunch of filling in the spring.....
 
I had a flat front on my 966 a few years ago away at another farm. I drove it into a neighbors place and he had me drive it to his shop. We pulled the whole tire and wheel and he gave me a ride to town, got the tire fixed and returned. Mounted it and drove out the driveway, never left the gravel. Stopped in there 6 months later and caught hell from the Missus for throwing "dirt" on her lawn.LOL. I guess some mud flew off the rears.
 
Replaced the riding mower and wife asked for one with power steering so she could mow too. Seven years later she has not mowed yet.
 
My wife has got to be half nuts or just plain stupid. There is no way in blazes I would put up with the kind of crap I"ve given her over the last 35 years.

Old Man was sitten in Church Sunday morning. Suddenly the doors burst open and the building was filled with fire and brimstone.
Fire spring from Satans finger and the preacher flies up and sticks to the ceiling, he wave his arm and the organist goes up in flames.
The congregation is screaming and running for the doors.
Old man just sets their with his head bowed.
Satan stand in front of him and screams,"Old Man! Don"t you know me? Ain"t you sceered?




Old Man says "I ain"t skeered, BEEN MARRIED TO YOUR SISTER FOR 60 YEARS!"
 

I mow the lawn. Last week I drove across some of it to take leaves to put on garden. Haven't heard any complaints yet. She did her share of raking leaves, too.

KEH
 
Unter die schuen- or something like that. Under the (femine article) shoe/slipper--- under her shoes- being stepped on by female.
 
I mow our lawn with a 100 hp tractor and discbine or the 50 hp and bushhog in the summer... She hasn't complained about that yet!
 
A few years ago we got a new JD mower with a 54 in deck. I can mow the yard in a hour and fifteen minutes. Well she was mowing and it was taking her 4 hrs. I walked out there and said. If you would move your right tire off the cut grass and use all your deck and start backing up, instead of circling it wouldn"t take you so long. She got off and hasn"t been back on. lol Vic
 
Yard work for me involves the bush-hog and roundup for hard to reach places. This will be the first season since the new house is finished (on a different part of the farm) but the plan won't change. I purposefully carved a small place out of the edge of the woods for the house for 2 reasons- small yard=lesser aggravation and I couldn't see the wisdom in putting it on land that could be otherwise productive for crops or livestock. I do have a nice view here and the woods around us are beautiful. No argument from my wife either.
 
Husband and wife on honeymoon night,he throws her his trousers,"put them on" he says ,she does as she is told" They are too big for me, I couldn't wear them trousers" she said. "Well remember that " he said "I will wear the trousers at our house" So she throws him her knickers "try them on" she says. Our man gets them up to his knees but no further. "I can't get into these" he said "And just you remember that" she replied.....
LOL...Sam
 
I'm the one that doesn't like tire tracks on the yard. Biggest reason is visitors see them and drive on the yard too, like its no big deal.
 
Wife mows the lawn most of the time. I'm an engineer and a bit too organized--thought the idea was to keep the mower cutting as much as possible. She doesn't do it that way---she just drives around until it's all cut. I can't stand to watch her, but I'm sure not going to stop her to point out her mistakes. I just find something that needs doing in the barn until she's done.
 
Your mistake was that you didn't point and yell "MOUSE!!!" first to keep her occupied. That still works for me. They scream and run into the house never looking back. Try it next time.

ya, there's just a certain way they gotta have it. An old widow named Mary came to me once, really needed lawn mowed. So I mowed it with my mower, for free. She complained that the cut grass didn't lay right! No more mowing for contrary Mary.
 
My wife says that I should help her with house
cleaning...I said, Ok..you help cut grass, and
blow snow..she just growls and walks away!
