Good point, but now that the Holiday's are upon us, it's only polite to have some nuts on the table.

My wife is afraid of my guns, which is unfortunate, because I try to get her to run a light coat of CLP over the pieces every month or so while I am gone...but alas, I just have to clean them up every time I get back.

I let her touch my computer, but I have her own login for it so that important things can't be changed...I'm a bit of a computer geek :P Also, I don't let anyone else do my laundry, but I think that's more of a quirk than a protective habit. After all, I don't sort my clothes or anything...if they come out of the washer and are wearable, they have survived the harrowing :)

I have two vests one old and one brand new which she thinks can be man handled because its bullett resistant, which just isnt the case. I am getting her, her first gun for christmas, so I may be adding a groin protector to my kevlar lineup :eek:

I was similar in that I didnt let her do any of my wash, but that is because she would shrink everything. Eventually she learned, and she folds much better than I do, so I let her do it.

I caught my girlfriend putting a small 8" high potted Christmas tree on top of one of my £1500 Dynaudio hifi speakers yesterday. :eek: :nono:

I just calmly asked her to remove it, she countered with "but it looks nice and it's only little", to which I counted with something along the lines of "those speakers cost £1500 and nothing I REPEAT NOTHING gets put on them EVER". :cen

She still thinks I was being overly harsh, but wars have begun over less trivial matters. :roflmao

Geez I never realized how anal retentive you guys are about your stuff!

No wonder I'm here. :D I have a lot of stuff I consider "cool". My poor wife doesn't dare touch them. She has a history of breaking things. Fortunately, for me, one of her worst incidences was with a boyfriend who collected porcelain dragons. Need I say more?

So, my list:

Any "guy" stuff.

Btw, I can relate to the scene in the movie Diner where his fiance touches his record collection. I'm not as organized, but it's a very empathetic scene for a guy. Check the movie out.

After 26 years I have nothing that she hasn't touched..:roflmao Somethings not as often as needed:cry: .. :roflmao
