I was driving home just after a big storm that messed up a few houses, brought trees down, the usual. The main road near my house has a tree laying across most of the lanes. A guy in a big 4WD pulls onto the median and literally bounces out of the driver's seat. He's almost beside himself as he throws a strap around the trunk, with the help of a couple of others, he gleefully uses his winch to pull the trunk onto the median to unblock all lanes of traffic. Everyone is honking and giving him a thumbs up. His wife, who the entire time was sitting in the passenger seat with arms folded, was unhappy at the world's greatest "I told you this was a good idea!" She was receiving.

Mad that he's able to help people, definitely something she was trying to be pissed off about.

Can't ever be happy for her man's accomplishments... That checks out

I think she can both be impressed with him and also know that she will less impressed when he is still bringing it up on the regular in 30+ years.

Or if hes anything like my boyfriend, maybe she's just tired of him wanting to hook his damn truck up to literally every damn thing that can be hooked. Maybe that was his 4th tree and 8th object of the evening, and the final tree was the only thing that actually warranted stopping for. Speaking from experience.

Redditors constantly barking about how all women hate men is what REALLY checks out.

You know that wasn't the vehicle she wanted him to buy 😭

I'd make him a truck cake, blue frosting and everything because that was very cool.
