How Do You Guys Keep Your Wife From Seeing All The Packages Arriving
- Thread starter Rawroots
- Start date
I'm lucky in that most of the boxes are roughly the same size as guitar boxes, so she thinks I'm just getting another guitar! Then I open and show her and she goes "Whew, not another guitar!" The hard part is when she asks "How much was it" and I have to quickly point outside and say "Look at the duck!" Fortunately she really enjoys shooting them and she works part time and goes to an office and I'm home all the time so rarely do I get in trouble. But guns and guitars are like shoes to us... she could buy a new pair every day and I wouldn't have any idea until the credit card bill came due! Now I have not yet bought an Alpha Wolf or Skout, so things could change!

My wife does not ask and does not want to know. Maybe it is because I can barely get to the door to get the package without tripping over another new pair of her shoes.

Wow, I somehow had missed this thread.
Just finished reading all seven pages of it.
Spectacular!
You guys made me laugh so many times (Thank you!!) — I finally had to explain to my wife why.
And then she said: "Don't you get any ideas!"
Because she knows what an airgun nut I am...!
But she need not to worry.We talk about major purchases. Or I sell stuff to buy other stuff.

I'd like to repost the photo from some time ago in this thread, I think it's outrageously hilarious:

my wife always insists on buying my “next” gun. i always opt for her paying for half. i think i make it easy on her because my preferences aren’t on the highly expensive end.. but the option to go big is always there.
i shoot off her back then i nut on it.

Sounds like you married a gamer for sure. A+. I suppose if the order were reversed a cleanup before shooting (the air rifle just to be clear) would be an absolute.

No need for me to hide them, she knows at this point how often I mostly trade, and if I don't it's usually the money being used from selling gear.

It's quite simple..
I just had the UPS driver dress up as the guy from Pubishers Clearing House. She thinks I won a free airgun a month for life.

For airgun stuff...she instigated. I was told in no uncertain terms to reduce/eliminate the squirrel population here. Boxes arrive and she's excited.
Other "collections", not so much.
I don't hide. I just subscribe to the tenet: "it is better to ask forgiveness than to seek permission" That's worked for 38yrs, so far.
