mrmoshe Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 For sale: nagging wife, very high maintenance * March 13, 2009 - 6:02AM A British man fed up with his wife's complaints advertised her for sale - and got a number of offers. "Nagging Wife. No Tax, No MOT. Very high maintenance - some rust," wrote Gary Bates, 38, in a small ad in Trade-It, more usually used to buy and sell cars or household goods. Bates, a self-employed builder from Gloucestershire, southwest England, snapped after his wife Donna got on his nerves while she was watching television and he decided to place the ad as a joke. "She was nagging me for doing something small, while she was watching some rubbish on TV. So I just thought I'd put an ad in to get rid of her. "I didn't think anyone would ring up but I've had at least nine or 10 people calling about her. It's gone mad. There was no one I knew - just people asking, 'Is she still available?"' The couple married only last year, and Bates said his 40-year-old wife - whom he advertised in the magazine's Free to Collect section, along with some of his fishing tackle - initially gave him "a bit of an ear-bashing". But he said: "She's seen the funny side of it now, though!" AFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
