You must really not enjoy getting sex...
You are an amazing turd.
When I was injured last year and was off from running for about 3 weeks I was doing a spin class 2 to 3 days a week.
The instructor was cool. She was playing music from the Chilli peppers, NIN, Prodigy, AFI, New Order etc.
No slow wimpy crap.
Well the instructor left to go to another gym.
They replaced her with this older lady, very fit, but her choice of music was country and Christian rock.
Geezus....this was a 24 Hour fitness not Bible land gym in the south.
She wanted to shove her music tastes and religion down our throats.
That class emptied our pretty fast.
First off, this dude's marriage with this woman must be pretty f'd up if one simple (granted not really funny) joke breaks up the entire relationship.
if his wife is pushed to cheat on him because he swapped a cd, all in his good (yet again, not very funny) humor, then the marriage must be in complete shambles and these two should never be together.
you people on this board must be in some terrible relationships. my advice to everyone on this board is to stay single.
i find it hilarious that ya'll think that his marriage is ruined and he has trust issues with his wife because of this.
i'm sure the original poster is a ginormous troll, but still, get a life everyone...
Two questions here. 1). Should you have switched her CD? 2). Did she overreact?
Answer to #1): No, you shouldn't have done that. Another poster suggested that you are probably controlling. I'd say that is a strong possibility. Your wife doesn't want your input on music for her spin class, and you respond by forcing it on her and her class. Maybe you have good music ideas, but if she doesn't want to use them for HER class, then you shouldn't force her to.
Answer to #2): Yes, she probably overreacted. If she was "super, super pissed" as you say, that's a little bit dramatic. It was just music. She could have easily laughed it off and made a joke out of it. The class probably would have laughed about it to and had a good spin session regardless. However, if you have a pattern of controlling, manipulative behavior, then perhaps this was just the straw that broke the camels back. Hence, your wife went off on you cause she's sick of your bullshit.
While what you did was wrong, I do like your idea of themes.
Movie themes
Television themes
Songs from the 80s, 70s, 90s
One Hit Wonders
Etc.
I wouldn't have sprung it on her with no choice-maybe add it to her bag and ask her to give it a listen and try it if she'd like.
On the other hand, it probably wouldn't hurt her to lighten up a bit and accept your input.
Better put your pillow on the couch though.
IF you aren't a troll please let us know what happens (or doesn't happen) next.
Johnny Cash "Hell"? This from a musician who plays what? Radar Love?
The idea of this is funny, but the actual doing of this -- not so much. What if you had replicated her CD, but every so often inserted something really off-kilter. A measure or two of Johnny Cash into a disco song, a little "My Way" by Sid Vicious into a cool down tune, something from weirdest guitar solos into a pop hit. That might actually be funny, not that you'll ever be allowed anywhere near her workout bag again.
This whole thing does bring up a good point... What do you do just as a joke to mess with your wife.
Come on guys, any jokes you play on your spouse? Fess up!
Can someone explain what the f*** a spin class is?
Just a group ride to nowhere, while listening to someone else's music. It sucks.
Just another example of blind patriarchal oppression, man asserting ownership over womynical property (worst part is, it sorta is, in this case...).
Would I mess w/spouse's income, professional self-image, business planning? Nope.
My wife goes to an early morning Y spin a couple times a week. She bitches if the instructor has funky music or it's a fill-in with weird music. So if your wife has a following and all of a sudden she's forced to play music that's totally out of the norm for her, the participants will be pissed. It's one thing if she can laugh it off and start another CD, but if that's all there is, you've just started several peoples day on the wrong foot. Plus as another poster mentioned, the instructors do develop their ride by what the music is, so if she is caught off-guard by you joke she hasn't the foggiest what's about to play. If you're a morning runner would you find it funny if she tied your laces in knots and you were only able to get in a couple miles because of her joke? Not considerate or funny.
You don't embarrass your wife in front of other people,end of story.

I'm assuming you've never been to a gym (because pretty much every gym has them and it's hard not to notice them when you are there). It's just a class where people ride stationary bikes for an hour. The bikes are typically better than the normal exercise bikes in the cardio section of the gym. Often there's some music, a projector showing a hill or something, and a teacher that pushes everyone and tells the class when to ride hard/turn the resistance up. I've never actually done one, but they seem kinda cool and if I'm ever injured I'll probably go.

Oh and dude, you could have googled this and found out in about one second...
This was totally funny. It's a FREAKIN SPIN CLASS...
Is letsrun really this full of humorless, feminized, pantload, weenies???
If your day is so meaning less that an unexpected playlist at your damn spin class could ruin it, or you're so incompetent that finding your shoelaces tied in knots deprives you of your morning run, you should probably consider removing your self from the gene pool... permanently.
What a bunch of sad-sacks!
Edie-
A lot of people who work out at ungodly moring hours do so because their lifes are hectic and getting in their workout at that time may be the only option. So what if it's only a spin class or a morning run. It's something they wanted to do and because someone else tampered with things they shouldn't have, now they don't get to do what they want to do. Maybe that was going to be the last spin or run before a long work trip or some other sabatical, who knows what it might have meant for someone else. In your life maybe it's no big deal, but maybe in theirs it is. I have a buddy who's favorite saying is: don't mess with me or mine. If it's not yours don't mess with it because you don't know how the rightful owner feels about the item or situation.
