My wife and I were driving me to work in her Volvo. We live in Arizona. It was 105 degrees outside.
She starts complaining that the air conditioning is not cold enough even though it was turned up to the max.
"Feels okay to me," I said.
She kept complaining that it was not cold enough. I offered to shut off the vents to my side of the car.
"No," she said. "Don't do that."
She kept complaining about the air conditioning not being cold enough.
"There is nothing I can do about it right now," I told her. "But you can take it to the shop and maybe they can fix the problem?"
"No," she said. "You know as well as i do that there is nothing they can do. Volvo air conditioning just does not work very well in Arizona in the Summer."
"Okay, you are right," I agreed. "So then why do you keep complaining about it if there is nothing anybody can do?"
"So you think that just because there is nothing anybody can do about the problem, then I should not complain about it?" she asked.
"Yes, exactly."
"That's ridiculous," she said. "You think that just because you are a man. You think that if you cannot solve the problem then everybody should just get used to it."
I am the reasonable one here, right?
My wife is being unreasonable, right?
