Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : My wife is someone who like to think she's very observant. She will leave a hangout with friends and say something like "I think Ellen is going to leave John. She ..." and then give an example of something Ellen did to give her the idea. It's not always based on reason, but sometimes on what she calls her "intuition." So obviously sometimes she's wrong. She never remembers these times, only the ones where she got something right. 

I usually just listen and smile and nod and let her have her theories and superstitions. It's usually harmless. She keeps a little notebook of them and says some day she might write a mystery novel or something, which makes it worth it to humor her. 

We live in a pretty nice building, but it's a little older so there are some quirks. About a week ago, she told me that while she was in the elevator, she got a weird feeling and that the "lights flickered" or something like that. She said she thinks it's a good idea if we avoided using the elevator and let the super know. I said "Ok dear" basically and went about my day.

Well turns out she was right this time. How do I know? On my way up with the groceries from the garage, I got in the elevator... and got stuck. Someone had gotten in between our floor and the garage and we both got stuck in there right after the doors closed. We were stuck in there for about an hour. 

When I told my wife, she asked me why I went in the elevator after she warned me. I told her that I wasn't going to make myself walk up 3 flights of stairs with groceries if I didn't have to, and that after we told the super he didn't see fit to change the elevator to out of order. I told her I wasn't going to put my life on hold because if a "feeling" she had that something "might" happen. 

She got hurt by this and has been laying low for the past few days. I saw that she was talking about it with her friend on twitter and just had to toll my eyes because she paints me as some big villain. 

I don't think I'm some big villain or that it's wrong of me to base my life around facts and things I can prove. But am I?
