Because I wasn’t enthusiastic enough about an air compressor.

[Brownieghoul]

My husband is interested in buying an air compressor. He has spoken about it atleast 8 times in 24 hours, I agreed he should get it.

Since then I’ve been shown photos of the compressor, and I said it looks good. When I sat down for the evening he asked me ‘how much do you like the air compressor’ and I responded as much as I can like an air compressor.

He then mentioned it again and I didn’t answer quick enough as I was reading something and now he’s decided to spend our only child free night in a mood calling me horrible because I don’t care too much for the air compressor.

Op I would go out and leave him to it m.....he sounds like a right child. Many people would struggle to get excited over an air compressor

Oh, it's awful when they expect you to get enthusiastic about something completely boring, and your repeated polite interest just doesn't cut it.

When I sat down for the evening he asked me ‘how much do you like the air compressor’

What was he expecting? "To the moon and back"? 😃

Suggest you look at ones irl. Then shove it up his arse and switch it on.. Or ltb and don't look back..

I'd seriously reconsider your relationship

Sounds about as interesting as listening to DS talk about Pokémon

I genuinely don’t know what an air compressor is! 🤔

This made me laugh. Thanks 😊

Time for you to get extremely interested in the intricacies of Victorian dressmaking and throw a fit when his eyes glaze over...

What is it? Do I need one?!

You could introduce him to the hydraulic press channel on youtube. It sounds as though it would be right up his alley.

I am currently very excited by my new power washer. Dh has patiently listened to me and pretended he's pleased too.

Which is frustrating as what I really wanted was him to finish clearing behind the shed out so I could jet wash it, and I was hoping I could bore him into doing this.

Although I have to note, that once having bought it from Amazon, I got an email from them, demonstrating their amazing powers of knowledge into their shoppers' minds.
"Based on your previous purchases we have the following recommendations for you... <insert lots of different power washers>"
Now I don't know about you, but however enthusiastic I am about it, I don't think many people would require more than one, certainly within a week of buying one anyway.
So I would have thought that currently almost anything would be more likely for me to buy than a second power washer.

order it,send him the tracking link.dance like nobodys wtching

I'd be worried he'd go Javier Bardem on you

He is a full time paint sprayer with an industrial airline system and ovens. I have no idea what he intends to do with the home compressor 🤣

I can't stop laughing.

I live in the US. The story reminds me of one of my friend who had an issue with her husband over a remote car starter. We live in the part of the country that can be 20 below Fahrenheit. So having a way to warm up a car without having to brave the cold is convenient. He spent the entire day going over various models. He got very annoyed at her refusing to list the pros and cons of each for him. He got very insulted when she told him the only pro/con that mattered is if when you push the button it worked.

you could say your borrowing it to do an art project ?

DH is like this. He has a mysterious MN hobby that he does alone. He buys stuff for said hobby which I have to hear about for hours, then observe said purchase doing its thing, then hear about how he’s not sure about it so might sell it. And repeat.

Depends what one tbf but most car owners will have one for tyres.

If you have a hugely annoying ass of a husband that you'd like to inflate, yes you need one.

Op, I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing at this. I'm on your side though. I couldn't get excited about an air compressor. I don't even know what they are for. I think you have done well showing as much enthusiasm as you have.

I also don't know what it is

Everybody in my family has some specialist subject on which we feel obliged to bore the world almost constantly. When we all get going at once, it's a sight to behold.

You have my sympathies.

You describing your lack of interest in an air compressor is still more interesting than the actual air compressor itself

I hate air compressors. My dad used to restore classic cars and used them for spraying the paint.
One day he'd left it on and at OH God O'clock it switched on to power down or some.
Scared the shit out of me as my bedroom was over the garage.
Didn't help that I was still recovering from watching Event Horizon a few days earlier.
I thought Sam Neil and the demons from the space ship were after me. I was 25.
My Dad slept through the whole terror inducing incident.
Once I realised what the hell it was I switched all the lights on on the way to the internal garage door and yanked the fuckers plug out.
Then I kicked it and swore at it.
