Therefore short of standing there and tapping your feet till the 60secs run out (which is what I tend to do) there is no escape. Nice post One that I am given everytime I ask the husband to move his butt is,’…haan, give me a minute….ek min and i shall be there…’

Wife: "Do you want to take the garbage out?" Me: "No, I don't feel like it. Thanks for asking, though!" It turns out, Rule #0 is "Never say no". I had a lot of time to think about this as I was taking the garbage out. Yeah, I used to think No was an acceptable answer too.

Wife: “Do you want to take the garbage out?”
