Example 1: Apples. So many apples are disappointingly terrible - mushy, soft, flavorless, blech. One particular stand at the farmers market sells the best apples in the world. I try to buy some of these delicious apples every week, but I walk to the market and can't lug 20 pounds of apples home. DH goes to the grocery store and buys mealy Granny Smiths and Red Deliciouses, which would be fine if he ate them. But he doesn't eat them because they're bad. He eats all of the delicious farmers market apples instead. He brings several farmers market apples to work for his snack, he munches them on his commute, he ignores the bad apples, and then there are no good ones left.

Example 2: Beer. We like a beer from time to time. Now that I am past a certain age I don't want cheap, tasteless beer like Coors and Bud Light, so when I go to the store I buy beer that I like. When DH goes to the store, he buys whichever beer is cheapest. The problem is that he drinks all the good beer first and leaves the crappy beer behind. And when I want a beer, what's left? Coors.

Example 3: Salad dressing. I make a very good vinaigrette. Even kids eat salads with my vinaigrette! I don't love creamy dressings like ranch or Caesar, but that's OK because my vinaigrette is there in the fridge. Oh wait, no, it's not in the fridge! DH finished it today, even though he only managed to be home for 10 minutes and there was at least a cupful left yesterday. Maybe my vinaigrette is so good he drinks it straight.

When I say something like, "Please leave some of the good apples for me," he scoffs and says "I EAT AN APPLE A DAY." -- "I know you eat an apple a day, but can you save a couple of the good ones for me?" -- "HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO TELL APPLES APART? I EAT AN APPLE A DAY." -- "But you bought these Granny Smiths ... don't you want them?" - "I EAT AN APPLE A DAY. I GRAB AN APPLE. I EAT IT." -- "Can you save me one good apple?" -- "IT'S AN APPLE. GOD, YOU'RE OVERREACTING. CAN'T I EAT A GOOD APPLE? I DON'T DESERVE GOOD APPLES?"

I kind of hate him. [/quote]
