I was laughing hysterically but now I'm in pain from laughing and tears are streaming down. Yes, it was funny, but even funnier was my husbands reponse .... he just looked at me like he was waiting for the punch line, finally saying "well?".

He admitted he'd have done the same!

You don't have to be married to an engineer for that! Mine is an electrician and I still get it. I was building some tables one day Very simple. three sides and a top. Everything squared up just fine. He comes home and tells me I'm doing it all wrong.
Three years later, who's is still standing??? mine. his fell apart. I love it when a plan comes together. :-D

My time

So funny but so true.

I asked my engineer husband to make a wooden board to cover my board.(I want it removable.) I actually borrowed one to copy. I asked,,,,"Just copy this one. Don't improve on it. Don't change it, just copy it."
Well, he finally did...couldn't use plywood, he made it out of OAK that he found at the Restore shop--pretty heavy but he did listen this time and I've got my board.
I do have a deck outside that 20 elephants can dance on at the same time...anybody want to party? It is so over-designed! I feel your pain!

Unfortunately my construction engineer husband just got laid of yesterday..Looking for work---and in Michigan, that is not an easy task.

Oh no you sound upset don't be actually i must be honest i love having DH around because i know he would do a better job with what ever project i ask him and make it safe for me i do value his help and opinion we are too impatience when we want something done. :) Have a good day :) :)

I'd say that overthinking is probably pretty independent of level of education actually. And I don't like the use of "over-educated" as an insult!

I work with engineers everyday. They over engineer everything on paper and then it never works in real life anyhow and then I have to fix it. You have my sympathy.
