WTF?
I don't have this problem now but when I was married, my then wife had an irritating habit (several really but this one was the worst).
If a situation arose that necessitated waiting for information she wouldn't shut up about it. For instance, her car went wrong. I booked it into a garage (warranty claim) for the next day.
As soon as I got home she started.
"What do you think is wrong"?
"I have no idea, that's why the garage is doing the work"
"What will they do to the car"?
"I don't know, that's why the garage is doing the work, utilising their specific knowledge of the marque".
"How long will they take"?
"I don't know, that's why you've got a courtesy car all day".
"What do you think is wrong"?
FOR FUCK'S SAKE WOMAN, I'VE ANSWERED EVERY INANE FUCKING QUESTION YOU'VE ASKED WITH "I DON'T KNOW" GET THE HINT!!!!!!
And while I'm at it, how do women think men get information? I mean, I've been sitting in front of you all the time so why ask the same question? I had no idea 5 minutes ago, I've not seen another human being or used any communication device in those 5 minutes so where do you think I've got the information from, fucking telepathy?

Agreed...
...and if you actually do have an answer you will be challenged on it. Aaaarggghhh!

Women, can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em. (Unless you are a member of the Royal Family or OJ Simpson.)

When the ring goes on the finger
You are supposed to assume telepathic powers. However, any answer given using said powers will be incorrect, and she will immediately phone a relative/friend who are guaranteed to know better than you.

Can't live with 'em, and their bones don't even make good soup.

Referrals to others..........
once you've answered their question. WTF!? I once had my ex-wife ask her father if I was "doing the right thing" when I serviced the brakes on her car.
Her father is a carpenter. He has never driven. He has never owned a car. He gets service personnel to replace knobs (the push-on types) on cookers and washing machines so he's the OBVIOUS choice to ask about my knowledge and skills.
On the other hand I'm only a qualified engineer with eleven years international experience in building, testing and rectifying gas turbine prime movers for warships and power stations. I have built five kit cars and been a backup mechanic for a semi-pro racing team. I was a registered firearms dealer for some years, working on some really expensive and complicated weaponry (servicing telescopic sights in a home-built clean room glovebox with a dry nitrogen atmosphere anyone?). But, better to ask daddy than me, because daddy knows best.
I do miss her, the new rifle should cure that.
