Today, my wife yelled at me for admitting I take my wedding ring off at work. I explained that I work in a chemistry lab and don't want to damage it. She laughed and said, "Oh please, that chemistry stuff is nonsense anyway." All while reading her horoscope. FML

Just keep the ring on, then when she gets mad at you because it's corroded, remind her whose idea it was to keep it on at work.

By his wife's logic, he would have done something like that on purpose. OP can't win. His wife is just that stupid, it seems.

I just face palmed so hard that there is now a black hole where my forehead was, faith in humanity draining.... Social darwinism.... Failing.... Smart people to the smart people boats, leave the erps to their fate, we can make any of the ugly ones beautiful with surgery and your kids beautiful with science, I will remain behind with scratch and sniffs to throw in pools for the erps. Flee, last hope of mankind.

I can see a Darwin award within her grasp. Wait till she pours liquid nitrogen over her head and then we'll see what happens.

But she doesn't believe in the properties of frozen nitrogen, and her horoscope said she would be very happy today, so obviously nothing will happen

There was a recent failblog like this, wonder if it's in response...in any case, she's clearly being unreasonable but I do wonder why you're together in the first place...I mean if you're happy that's great but you just seem like polar opposites. And not like opposites-attract opposites, like opposites-are-too-opposite-you're-gonna-end-up-killing-her opposites...

Shouldn't you be wearing latex gloves anyway when working with potentional harmful chemicals?

Latex would not be much of a defense against chemicals.

You are supposed to wear gloves in lab, be them nitrile, latex or in the case of first/second year undergrads common household marigolds. Yeah, they might not protect against the really, really dangerous stuff, but usually they're worn because a) they're better than nothing, and b) they provide adequate protection against most (if not all) of the middle ground stuff that most people would be handling in labs.

The ring might tear or puncture the gloves.

Ask her how far a car would travel in an hour if it were going 80 MPH. YouTube for those of you unaware...

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

You would go 80 miles. Mph ( miles per hour)

Theres a youtube video with this girl who is clearly high who cant grasp that fact

Buddy, technically...a gold ring(I assume a wedding ring is gold) is really hard to be damaged by almost all chemistry stuff, but it is also true that keeping a ring on your finger will make your finger in danger in a chemistry lab, and I agree your wife is a moron.

But doesnt gold react in certain solutions that function as a replacement reaction. Thus damaging the value of the gold?
