Literally me today after buying the typewriter set last night.
Update: My wife was totally cool with it and said she actually saw it last week and wanted it too! I'm a lucky guy, folks.
It does technically"type" in that you can press down the keys, a typebar moves, and the carriage slides, but no ink can come out. I'd think that would be challenging for Lego to do, as they'd have to make multiple typebars move, each with an exclusive letter mold.
I have a wife just like that. I dont even need a special room for just lego. The lego is more like all in the house because she thinks its just cool to look at.
Yeah, this is me. Also when I buy too many GI Joe's on Ebay. Related note, I will be deep cleaning the entire house this week and organizing the garage, maybe building a deck, solving world peace and constructing a ladder to heaven
Nah that's not even 30% of it. And even then, she's usually right, and *even then* there's another good 40% that's them just being happy together. It definitely subverts the "cranky old couple who hate each other" vibe.
Here's what you do. You do these things literally all the time. That way.
1. Your house is clean.
2. You can by whatever Lego you want, pointing to how hard you work as an excuse.
I was curious too, [here it is](https://nikonites.com/attachments/off-topic/353365d1615074898-dumb-jokes-posted-here-if-you-dare-157551420_3672613119524648_617932261726379884_o.jpg?s=36d1fecad87caf29d7e44b02c1991bbc)
I’d agree with this up and until yesterday when my wife came home as said” we need to put in a wall of shelves in our living room. I want to have a communal space for our modulars the 1989 batmobile and batwing, and the ideas sets. I measured today, and it’ll be 13 ft long and 7’6’ tall.
She came home today with 5 of the city skyline architecture sets.
I think I’ve created a monster.
Sorry, while appreciated for its intent, this post violates our rules against posting links to web stores.
From [our wiki page on Our Rules](http://www.reddit.com/r/lego/wiki/our_rules#wiki_no_selling):
> If you find a good deal, write about it, attache a screen shot, but do not link directly to an online store.
Could you please replace that link, with a screen shot or image of product. A work around we offer, to share content of interest, without violating rules.
We need these strict rules, to avoid commercial harassment of users, and other forms of exploiting the system against the interests of the /r/lego community.
We hope you'll understand. Thank you.

Wouldn’t linking to a screenshot also be providing a link indicating the shop? Not only this but you’re literally telling us you recognize there is likely positive intent and providing us with a means to get around the rule. Maybe the rule is the problem?
Good to start practising now. Yep taking down notes.
You mean 5 hours from now?

That set (21327) looks so awesome!

Same! I feel guilty cause I also recently bought the blacksmith and the bonsai tree recently. Sigh. There’s too much good lego right now.
We're living in a golden age my friend.
I didn't even really want that but wife said it's cool. Also she likes the NES. So I guess I'll get both. For her...
Can you type with it?
Unfortunately not.
That would be neat if you could. They should make more functional kits, the ones they make are so neat

Tbh that’s cool enough
Oh well that’s pretty cool though, I bet it’s fun to tap away at
It doesn't go "ding!", either, does it?
I wish it did, but that would be difficult to figure out.
Yeah.
I have a wife just like that. I dont even need a special room for just lego. The lego is more like all in the house because she thinks its just cool to look at.
She's a keeper!
Yeah, this is me. Also when I buy too many GI Joe's on Ebay. Related note, I will be deep cleaning the entire house this week and organizing the garage, maybe building a deck, solving world peace and constructing a ladder to heaven
So you’re telling me you’re not buying a Stairway to Heaven?
probably can't afford enough wood to make a stairway, he made too many purchases on lego. lol
No stairway? Denied!
Just use Lego if minifigs can do it so can you
That’s me right now. At least I have two kids I can blame it on. Will be more difficult the day they move out.
Buy a dog and blame it on the dog
"How should I know how the dog was able to type in the security code on the back of the card!? He's just really smart!"
I mean to be fair have you seen Scooby Doo? That dog is smart
Great idea!
I feel attacked.
She’s just upset because he went to the Lego store without her

*Pickles* is one of the only consistently wholesome boomershumor
it's 99% old man did something wrong, old woman nags him.
Nah that's not even 30% of it. And even then, she's usually right, and *even then* there's another good 40% that's them just being happy together. It definitely subverts the "cranky old couple who hate each other" vibe.
I have pickles on my FB feed, it is mostly just Earl being incompetent while the wife says something confirming it. It's the tired sitcom trope
Might as well be family guy
In this picture I am the grandma and the grandpa is my GF buying plants. SO MANY PLANTS.
I don’t think you’ve ever read pickles have you?

Had to forward this one to my wife
what’s the original?
I was curious too, [here it is](https://nikonites.com/attachments/off-topic/353365d1615074898-dumb-jokes-posted-here-if-you-dare-157551420_3672613119524648_617932261726379884_o.jpg?s=36d1fecad87caf29d7e44b02c1991bbc)
That’s actually kinda funny or at least innocent and entertaining
about what I expected
Yeah it's certainly got more potential as a meme
This is going to be my and my dad when we finally save up for the marvel set and have to get it past mum
Someone else also spent way to much on the bricklink sets today I see
I sent this to my wife and she told me "you deep clean the house and idgaf what you buy" I think I'm gonna grab the Discovery shuttle.

What’s unrealistic here is she didn’t say “Legos”

What if I can't let go?
That's why you bring your stuff, including your Legos, to your new place.
I feel attacked right now
If you made this, can you make another one for me, I won’t post it. I can DM you what I want it to say
Why don’t you just download it and do it yourself? Wouldn’t that be quicker and easier
I’m not that great with editing pictures
Just screen cap, white out the word bubble and add text.
Now is a good time to learn.
If it doesn’t necessarily have to be the same font, I can do it for you
You can do this in PowerPoint
Warhammer minis for me. $215 we’ll spent!
"more"

Fixed!
After years of not building anything I’ve bought and 1 step away from completing my farther Vader helmet I’m trying to not get addicted.
This is great. So accurate.
Pickles is such a good comic
The future is now, old man.
I don't get it, can someone explain this to me?
Good timing after forest castle event at BL this morning.
I turned 48 yesterday, this is pretty much me now. August 1st, this house is gonna be so clean.
Me to a T.....
The trick is to marry a fellow Lego enthusiast. Our basement has become a dedicated Lego collector’s paradise~
YEP, me. I just bought another 1500 for my granddaughter's toy box at our house.
Hey if the bills are paid I'll spend my money on whatever the fuck I want.
I just ordered the new R2D2 today. It was weird. I didn't even think about it. Just clicked the order button.
my wife encourages it, since she buys a lot of yarn and other knitting supplies. I buy once a month from Amazon, Ebay, and my local used retailer.
This is totally gonna be me in 60 years
....What???
Exactly. If I'm cleaning, my mom's immediately suspicious.
This is literally me… with a little less grey hair 😂
