LOL! Boy, do I know what you mean. Do I ever. I'm still embarrassed over
that time I overheard my (now ex-) wife complaining about razor burn from
shaving her legs; so I bought one of those depilatory kits as a gift. Her
immediate and lasting response: "So, you think I'm a hairy gorilla, huh?"
Another instance: She'd always forget to turn off her curling iron, which
must've been a relic when Lucille Ball was a teenager. So I bought one that
turned itself off after a certain time. "So, you think I'm stupid, I'll
burn the house down?"
Why do we never learn?

I will admit that I misunderstood her approval for the purchase. I thought
it was the "I don't like it but you can do it and I'll live with it"
answer.
Actually it was the "I don't like it but you can do it, but if you really
do
you'll regret it for the rest of your life answer". By now I should have
known the difference.
