My wife usually buys our biker patches from time to time and she sews them on for me. I don't usually know anything about it until they are already sewn on and I am putting my jacket or vest on before I head out on my motorcycle. Now most of the time, she plays nice and buys cool embroidered patches which look great. That is why I don't mind her doing this.
However the last patch she put on my jacket was the Does Not Golf Well With Others Patch. She thought this was hilarious but I was not too impressed because I was actually out with the guys having a beer and discussing a golf trip when it was pointed out to me. She had sewn it on to the back of my jacket and I hadn't even realized.
It was all because we had gone out to play golf together one day and had a little bit of a tiff on the course! I can't even remember how it started but there was this guy on the course at the same time as us. In fact he was just behind us all the way round. I had taken my shot and my wife was so slow that I started walking off ahead of her when I felt a golf ball just skim my head and head into the bushes just in front of me.
I wasn't in the best of moods at the time and rounded to see this guy standing there with a club in his hand and trying not to laugh. Well to be honest, this was like a red rag to a bull and I just lost it. I was calling him all the names under the sun and didn't even let him get a word in. My wife was on the ground laughing and couldn't even manage to string a sentence together. So with me raging like a bull, I dragged her off the course and we headed home with me still ranting like a bear.
The poor guy was left standing there, club in hand and it was only when my wife managed to stop laughing about an hour later that she confessed that it was her who had hit the ball. She had thrown her club to the ground as soon as she had seen where the ball was heading so when I turned around it looked as though that guy had been the guilty one! Well I felt like an ass I have to say. Thankfully I didn't know the man but I still felt bad about giving him grief. My wife still thinks its hilarious and that is why she bought that patch for me.
I'm not normally a raving lunatic but something clicked in me that day and I just lost it. Well I decided to get my own back on my wife and ordered a patch for her myself. I even managed to get the sewing kit out and didn't do too bad of a job if I do say so myself. So I can't wait to see her face next time she heads out with her friends and sees the Crazy Bitch Patch that I have put on her jacket. I laugh my head off every time I think about it.
