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.

Not an exact parallel but it reminds me of this:

My DH is like this about photography. I have learned not to say I like a photo or I'll get an hour of f stops/ISO ratings/ light angles.

In the unfortunate event of a divorce, would you aim for 50/50 split or just pick up every other weekend, more of a Disney relationship for inflating unicorns.

I have a lot of problems with wind gallop. 🥴

Highly recommend Wolf compressors - yes, I too have had my brain frazzled.......

Suggest he joins Dull Men's Club on Fbook - they discuss things like this (and in what order cutlery should go in the cutlery drawer, etc). They'll welcome him with open arms.

Ahh. They say you never really get over your first air compressor.

"Most car owners will have one for tyres."

I've been a car owner for 25 years and I have never heard of an air compressor. Do you mean a pump? (I haven't got one of those either.)

I would bet a shitload of money "most car owners" don't own an air compressor.

Personally I use a footpump.

there is an electric pump in Domestic Facilities Managements car but she has bad hips,

I have no idea what an air compressor is or does (beyond the obvious, inferred from the name)

I'd be if you can afford it, will use & want it then buy it but don't expect me to show any interest or enthusiasm because it means nothing to me.

I still have an air compressor even though I no longer own a car. I don't own my home anymore either and have to rent and therefore can't have a dog so I take the air compressor for walks instead and remember the good times.

I lived next door to someone with an air compressor who used it as a mechanic, it drove me absolutely bananas, to the point I was on the verge of a panic attack walking past a lilo being inflated by one on holiday as I'd had enough of the bloody sound. Please if he intends to use it alot, make sure its properly sound proofed, insulated and inside an outhouse away from people enjoying their homes/gardens or your neighbours will hate it, they are so incredibly loud. 😬

I have two air compressors.

Although TBF one is fixed in one of the cars.

‘how much do you like the air compressor’
"more than I like you at the moment as it's not mithering me and behaving like a child, will that do?"
is the only acceptable answer IMO.

😂

Just asked DP and apparently an air compressor does this:
Takes air in, compresses it down under pressure, so it can inflate something quickly

If I said it was because someone's DH was buying one, he'd want to know which make and model.

So now I'm trying to get off the subject. Cheers, kids crying

I misread at first as air fryer and was going to click yabu but having read air compressor I have reconsidered my judgement

This made me laugh. It's so true.

No I mean an air compressor. In my specific case an AA Digital Air Compressor used to ensure my cold tyres are at the correct pressure before long journeys or generally on a monthly basis like a responsible driver.

Some people have foot pumps, great if you have the time or want the exercise.

I wouldn't bet against you.

i would good money in most people not changing/inflating their own tyres & in the case of a puncture or blow out call the AA RAC, rescue service of choice

I totally get you. Bloody men and their stupid tech toys. I had exactly the same recently over some Ring video cameras.... sohhhhh dull.

'Oh and look - if I see someone on the camera - I can switch this siren on!!!' Spare me.

Fretting now that perhaps I should be buying one...

I have a compressor plumbed in in my workshop, and I must admit it's mostly because I'm a bloke and I like stuff like that.

However, when the children were small, I found that when it comes to removing vomit from all the little nooks and crannies of a car seat, nothing beats a quick squirt of very high pressure air from a suitably long and thin nozzle.

Just be sure to wear glasses.

What the hell is an air compressor? Don't blame you.
DH does this. He went through the following phases:
Wolf t shirt
Sauna pod where the persons head sticks out
Tight elasticated temu vests phase
Protein powder
Solar panels

I was the worst for not listening apparently. I didn't understand how important these things were. Maybe i'm just a bitch.

I just use my hand to switch the compressor on, was n't aware there were penis only operated ones.

I have a dust extractor plumbed into my workshop with outlets to the main machinery areas and I must admit it's mostly because I like doing woodwork.
