Nickel, yeah I've done that.
Later after she calms down, I can explain (again) what she said and what it means in the real world.

I disagree... the worst words a guy can hear... you ask her a question and the answer is:
"If you want..."
Translation: Regardless of what you do next, you're screwed...

It's me trying to do that communication thing I always hear about. (her) Nothing. Translation: I am thinking of something which pisses me off. I am angry and when angry I generally do the opposite of what I should do, which is get it off my chest. It may not even involve you but you are the nearest target so put on your armor. (me) Why are you upset? Translation: Back to the first question I asked, I'm a bumbling fool etc but I'm really trying to do something. Since there's no roadmap for this, I am feeling my way in the dark. I am now pretty sure I will regret this soon, too. (her) I'm NOT upset. Translation: Yes I AM upset and pissed off. Since you cannot read my mind to divine what's bugging me, this pisses me off even more and it means I'm not going to tell you. You better figure this out fast, Buster. (me) Okay, I'll be out in the garage. Translation: I've asked twice, she's given me the same answer both times. From previous experience, this is gonna turn into a full blown fight and I am not up to this. So I'm gonna go hide in my 'hurricane room' with a cold one until this blows over. Plus, the valve cover looked like it was leaking a little. Then she's really pissed. Translation: Then she's really pissed.
