My wife used to complain about the stuff I was carrying...right up until she needed something.

Wife: "I'm cold, let me get that jacket out of your pack."

chaosmagnet: "No."

W: "Why not?!?"

c: "Get your own jacket."

W: "It's back at camp!"

c: "I guess you should have brought one."


I ended up letting her have the jacket, but after a few similar events she stopped making fun of me.
