Husband: Gee, honey, you're welcome!  I mean, I'm only just out there feeding the dogs, taking the trash cans to the street, and moving all the cars, then coming in and getting ready to go to work and starting coffee and feeding the cats, and for what it's worth, I don't step on the grass and I avoid the parts where the poop has been, so I'm sorry if that drives you nuts!

Wife: ... I guess this is just our morning routine!  You acting like you do SOOOOO much and just pissing me off!
