Sorry in advance to any girls:
Just had a shout upstairs from the bird:
"The decking is a little bit on fire"
We're having a barbecue and one of the coals has fallen out of the bottom, landed on a plastic flowerpot that she'd stashed underneath and melted through it - setting it on fire and then dripping on the decking, setting that on fire.
So. Does she put it out?
No. She walks upstairs and informs me.
I wouldn't mind if it's a one off, but lately she seems incapable of acting how any normal person would when presented with the smallest of problems.
Instead she seems to have devolved all responsibility for anything out of the usual to me.
Cheer me up. Tell me I'm not alone. What other utterly, utterly stupid things have your girlfriend/wife/supposed better half done recently?
