Topic: 10 Annoying Habits of a Geeky Spouse (GeekDad Wayback Machine)

[sam]

Requiring extra room in the house for geeky things - Not all geeks have exactly the same space needs, but we’ve all got more than most people. There are the comic book collections accumulated over several decades, the stacks of board games and RPGs, and the old computer equipment that might be useful someday, you never know! Some of us need just a good-size closet or two, some of us need a room, and some of us take over the entire basement. For some strange reason, the people we live with tend to get a little annoyed at this.

[Clive]

I confess to having such a room.   

[Rik]

Including the rocket propelled grenade? ':|

[Simon]

I have a whole garage full of stuff.

[Rik]

I'll bet.

[Simon]

If I cleared it out, I'd have room for a second freezer! 

[Rik]

Our loft, and the loft of the garage, are a bit that way. I think it will take months to clear if we move. Hell, I've still got some magazines for the BBC Micro up there somewhere...

[Clive]

   I had a good clear out of the attic last year and it's now manageable.  I'm tackling the garage in a few weeks time when the weather gets a bit warmer.

[Rik]

After that, can you come and do mine, Clive?

[Simon]

Our loft, and the loft of the garage, are a bit that way.

You have a loft in the garage?   

[Rik]

Pitched roof, so yes - it just doesn't have a ceiling...

[Simon]

Doesn't the stuff get wet when it rains? 

[Rik]

No, the roof stops that. 

[Clive]

After that, can you come and do mine, Clive?

We could organise a car boot sale in your drive.   

[Rik]

You certainly couldn't in the car boot...
