Just one quick bitch ...

[Calandale]

Can't concentrate. Tried to get some
work done, but just couldn't keep going.

[Calandale]

Damn microwave blows my wireless connection
away, about 20 sec after it's done. It's like there's
an EMP or something. Piss me off.

[DirtDawg]

I think my wife has an EMP weapon in her brain. Once she has been on a terror, electronic things she has had contact with begin to limp and certain functions no longer work, properly. I have passed this off as coincidence and imagination for years, but no more. I know, now.

[Litigious]

I have something similar. All technical stuff I touch go crappy.

PI has something similar, stuff used to just stop working for no reason, no terror needed.  The awesome magnetic power of a feisty woman perhaps? 

[DirtDawg]

I think that's what it is. She also is unable to carry a credit card, because the magnetic strip info becomes corrupt and won't work more than a few times. Feisty would describe her fairly well.

I have a friend who's like that. His specialty is making perfectly good computers stop working.

She should carry her credit cards in a mu-metal wallet.

What do you mean by 'a terror'?

I am somewhat familiar with mu-metal, but I take a certain impish pleasure in being married to a woman who can not abuse credit cards. It's just one more stereotype that can not possibly apply to me and my life.

I sort of collect those.

Going on a terror is like throwing a fit.
I meant that when she gets mad, stuff breaks, but not from being thrown. It is enough force just being near her to cause havoc. There seems to be a background or undercurrent amplitude of flux that is always present and damages some things due to prolonged exposure also, but I fear the terror of her concentrations of high density Gaussian influence on delicate, hi-tech electronic appliances.

Neat. When I get mad, people break.
And I'm not talking about me doing
anything physical.

He is very lucky to know you, then, isn't he?

I'm sure the feeling's mutual.

He always comes to me when he's experiencing computer problems. Often, in other words. His view is that a computer should be maintenance-free, which is reasonable, I guess, but since he's not willing to run a reasonable OS, it's not a practical requirement.
