[SO] Can you unload the dishwasher?
[Me] Of course.

*5 hours later*

[SO] Why is the dishwasher still not done ?
[Me] Why would it be ?
[SO] I asked you to unload it ....
[Me] No, you asked if I CAN do it, and I am able to do it, you didn't ask me to actually do it.
[SO thinking] God, why did I marry a fucking programmer.....

    @thmnmlst Yes it's a real story, but I added a funny ending just so it's rantable. I usually just answer "Yes I can". Then followed by something like "I can, you know that, you should actually ask me to do it". Always meant as a joke, with a smile and everybody I do this with laughs when I do it.

    @thecritic I've been hearing that joke my whole life. The pedantic "yes I can, but don't you mean will I?" bullshit is the only joke that really really got old for me. It was like the official pastime of my hometown.

    @iam13islucky I don't do it all the time, just occasionally but I think this never gets old. I always crack up myself.

    @Memeamphetamine It'd even be fun with Stackoverflow in a weird sense and a lot of imagination, but SO = "Significant Other", i.e. girl- or boyfriend/wife/husband

    This isn't even something a programmer would notably do. I applaud @iam13islucky answer

    Programmer: Okay.
