Am I this predictable?

So my wife likes watching Ncis , csi and all these similar TV shows.
Anyway we were watching one called criminal minds and one of the main characters looked down at is watch and it was a close up of a sub. And as I lifted my head... My wife goes.. .. Yes I saw it

I always tell my girlfriend when I see someone wearing a Rolex.
She chooses not to "hear" any of my watch comments anymore.

My wife doesn't wait for me to stop the show, back up, and put the TV show on slow motion to see the watch a particular actor is wearing. If she's holding the remote, she does it for me . (Why does that sound obscene?)

Hahaha, if I see a sub I usually tell her, "that's the same watch as me" I never get more than a groan back though...

My wife now asks me what certain watches were, and if I don't know she'll rewind and pause for me to get a good look.

It can get worse - watching live F1 pre-race grid interviews I'll pause, rewind and zoom in when I see a driver wearing some watch I don't recognize!

My girlfriend doesn't even want to watch a movie with me anymore, I annoyed her so much with Bruce Wayne's Reverso that she's convinced we recently watched Batman: The Dark Day & Night...

Good to hear chief! All is good on my side as well. I have been keeping busy to say the least! True story, I was in another room getting my 1655 to post an open 6 on Tom's thread when I hear my wife calling me to come and see something... lo and behold she is watching the TV show BOSS and points this out! Looks like she just might be a WIS in the making!

Perfectly normal for someone who hangs here for long. Mine tolerates me, but I do it all the time.
