Scrapes inflicted, points lost.

Yes I did it. I backed my wife's '06 Outback into my '94 SVX. A driveway crash. Ouch. The damage to the vehicles was far smaller that the loss of the accumulated "marital points".

I hate it when that happens.

Re: Scrapes inflicted, points lost.

Sorry to hear about the accident, but I didn't really get the link between a small material mistake and "marital points".

Re: Scrapes inflicted, points lost.

Wife feels warm due to the weather. Husband install air conditioner. Husband gets points. Wife wants room painted. Husband paints. Husband gets more points. Husband scrapes wife car. Points go to 0. Start all over.

The Honeydew Rule:

When honey do something that wife likes, no matter how often, the cumulative amount of points acquired

is completely negated in a single instance, when honey do something wife does not like.
