Geeks , swot , dorks , and widget - obsessed folks can be tough to sleep with because we ’re prone to ill-chosen , silly , or stupefied demeanour . Occasionally we get lucky though and find a precious stone — like Gizmodo commenterDing - Dang‘s married woman — who’ll put up with all that .
Ding - Dang ’s storyfeels like something that could happen to any of us and I can almost feel the guilt and ignominy that he must ’ve experienced in the moment that he was catch in a compromise post . But I have to say that he is one lucky man for ingest a married woman who , despite not understanding his behavior exclusively , tolerates it :
Last night after my married woman went up the stairs to go to bed , I resolve to take aside our one - year - old plasm boob tube .
I had read that by turning emf Regulation pot down , it would make my pitch-black levels well . The person who write the summit on AVSForum said , “ I believe there is a safety risk involved with doing this as it involves move out the rear cover song , endanger high voltages and risking burning . ” After reading that , I knew I had to do it .
I pulled the TV off of its pedestal and propped it up against the couch . My hand shake as I removed 30 - plus screws from the back of the TV . I pulled the back cover off . At that minute , my married woman sauntered down the stairs to see random tools on the storey , various screws and bolt , and her husband in his boxers working on her TV which was now in pieces straw about the floor .
I felt like I got caught cheating on her . She sound out not a word . turn around and went back upstairs . She just give me a feel that cleaning lady give you when they pull in it ’s partly their fault for wed a weirdo . I tried to say something but no word of honor came . That ’s God ’s way of say , “ Shut - up , male child . When have your Word ever help you in a situation ? ”
When she result , I did what I needed to do and exit the TV back up . It worked perfectly . My married woman has n’t even bothered to give thanks me for deoxidize our black levels by 20 % , which is barely visible to even the most discerning centre . One really need a spectrometer to see the real remainder . Still . A ‘ thank you ’ would be prissy .
I will never cheat again .
