What Bad Things Has Your Wife DONE?

I once met a buyer in a very weird way thanks to my wife. I had a craigslist sale that I was going to meet a half mile from home in a half hour. I was in the hot tub when the guy called, no problem, I can be there in 30 minutes, see ya then. Guy shows up early, calls again, my wife invites him to come on over and hes there in like 2 minutes, she's letting him in the front door while I am walking in my flip flops and only my flip flops to get dressed so I can go to the meet. We met alright, you betcha.
I got dressed, sale went through, guy was amused but kind and I chewed on the wife a little for inviting a stranger to the house and for not warning me (he was here so fast!)

fast forward a year and the guy gets a job where I work, we are introduced to each other by his boss and we both say "we've met". His Boss (an old friend of mine) says: "you know this guy?" "yeah, hell he's seen me naked".

my wife is still not allowed to laugh at this story.

Now that is funny!

well now last nite she was in a pretty bad wreck. ugh do things get better?

i was hoping this thread was actually something else...maybe i read it as "what naughty things has your wife done?"

That is a whole different topic and probably not one for an open forum!

That thread is here.

Visiting Yellowstone, my wife unzipped the flap of my backpack (which I was wearing) to get the camera out. I heard her gasp, and then the sound of something heavy hitting the wooden walkway. I knew it was my 70-200 f/4L IS, and I immediately felt sick to my stomach.

I was right, but saw no external damage. After attaching it to the body and taking several test shots, I found there was no internal damage either.

Tough lens, happy ending, and now we're a little more careful.

I'm sure your new wife won't make the same mistake...

I'm sure it would be less expensive to replace my current equipment with a 1DsMkIII, the best Gitzo, every L-series they make.... and three back-ups of each item, rather than replace the wife.

I do wish she'd drop my 40D so I'd have a good reason to replace it with a 7D or 5DMkII.

luckily it didn't land in the dirt or a geo-feature. Only bison and parkrangers are allowed to contact the ground over the edge of the walkway.
