Fucking pay attention when I talk to you!

[Not Heidi]

I'm in the middle of telling my wife about the Angels' new clubhouse rule this season, when she interrupts me by getting up and saying "I've got something in my teeth." No "excuse me, sorry," no "hold that thought, tell me when I get back."

She comes back and says "did I tell you what so & so said to me yesterday?" Well, no, asshole, and why would I ? Why would I listen when you'll just blow me off in the middle of my telling you something that's important to me? What's more, it's only baseball. Who gives a rat's ass what the Angels are doing in the clubhouse? Who cares what the hoped-for consequences will be.

It's only baseball, probably the most important thing in my life besides my family and the survival of this country and her citizens.

All things considered, it's small thing about which I'm having this internal snarly discussion.

But be a decent human being. At least pretend you're listening to me, and excuse yourself from the discussion with a quick "excuse me" or something like it. Then exercise this muscle: "Ok, what were you saying?"

Or am I the bitch?

3. So what is the new rule in the Angels clubhouse this season?

Inquiring minds want to know.

7. The rule

is that players may not use their cellphones in the clubhouse. A player can be fined up to $500 per infraction.

"Angels manager Ron Washington has laid out this new policy in hopes of getting his team to bond and focus more on baseball. 'It is not punishment; I just want some focus,' Washington said of the new rule. . . .'"

Veterans Mike Trout and Kyle Hendricks will enforce the rule.

4. WTF did I just read?

5. Diabetes?

I would get your blood sugar levels checked. Flying into hysterical rages such as you describe is a possible warning sign of diabetes.

8. My goodness.

Thank you for inquiring after my health. It's fine.

6. The wife came in the living room the other day and told me I was immature and needed to grow up.

I told her to shut up and get out of my fort.
An old story I may have stole from here on DU.

9. kind of seems like both of you are in a taking the other for granted moment

it happens. let it go or tell her how you felt when she did that. I would leave the subject line of your OP out of the conversation

10. Was it really important for you to talk to her that way

Why not just tell her in a calm, soft voice of what she did and why it bothered you. The way you put it tells me you shutoff any communications with her about the Angels club house rules.
