Sometimes we do things without realizing we’re doing them. Or more often, we do irritating things without realizing the harm or frustration they’re causing other people. The old joke is that when a couple of driving in a car, the wife is constantly giving the husband directions, to the point of distraction. I know that when my husband is driving, I do this. However, he does it to me, too. It’s maddening. But sometimes it’s hard to explain to someone how frustrating it is to be bugged when they’re doing things like this. There are occasions when the best thing to do is to “show” rather than “tell.” In the joke below, the husband has the perfect idea for how to teach his wife a valuable lesson. Enjoy this hilarious joke!
A woman is cooking eggs in the kitchen when her husband comes running in
Immediately, he sees the eggs and gasps in horror.
“Be careful! CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh, my GOSH!”
The wife, startled at her husband’s violent reaction, dashes to the fridge to get some butter.
“You’re cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW!”
The wife, concerned by the status of her husband’s mental state, forgets about the butter and goes running to the eggs.
“WE NEED BUTTER! Are you CRAZY??? Where are we going to get the butter? They’re going to stick! HURRY!”
The wife runs to the fri-
“CAREFUL about the eggs! CAREFUL. You NEVER listen to me when you’re cooking! Never! Turn them quickly! Oh not that quickly, don’t you know how to cook? Are you insane? Turn the DAMN EGGS!”
At this point, the wife starts crying, since she has no idea what to do.
She gasps “What is WRONG with you? I know how to cook eggs.”
The husband simply smiles, remarks “I just wanted to show you what it feels like while I’m driving with you in the car”, and leaves.
