NEVER believe a road closed sign, & have to drive down there 'just in case'?

 

Think its acceptable to rev their van loudly on the drive right outside the bedroom window at 6am in the morning to clear the screen, rather than s"Ooops, word censored!"e it like anyone else would?

 

Honestly, don't know why I keep him sometimes

[The Dogmother]

I know exactly what you mean.

[chick wiggle]

 

They do it because we let them!

[ClaireG]

Glad it's not just mine

[Space Chick]

They will also NEVER believe you when you are confident with directions.

 

I know Cardiff really well, and told OH to take a turning yesterday, he said "The sign says to go straight on for City Centre", yes, but we weren't going to the City Centre.

 

He then got stroppy when he realised that by carrying on he's added about 15 mins to our journey, apparently that was my fault, despite the fact I told him to turn

 

Good job he's a gorgeous person and I love him

[fluffyknickers]

Why do they come in from work, go straight to the fridge, open it and stand in front of it looking as if something wonderful is going to jump out at them. Close the door and walkabout a bit then go back to the fridge as if something miraculously will have appeared.

 

Grrrr

[The Dogmother]

My ex used to do that, as if looking for divine inspiration. When he did do anything in the kitchen, I always knew exactly what he'd made as veery cupboard was still open, crockery and cutlery still out and dirty dishes/jars/tins left on the side.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

... fail to notice items that they have taken out to use but then left lying about . There is a coolbag, a tent and a couple of huge rucksacks/bags lying where they were dumped. He's been back 2 weeks .

But I do that as well!!

...........................always leave the newspaper open on the table when they have finished reading it,not neatly folded up.

This one is particularly true here, his stuff apparently can be left everywhere and isn't mess or clutter. If I happen to leave one thing of mine out however, he tells me all about how I want to keep the place tidy and look at the mess I have made. Excuse me, hello, big piles of your stuff.......!!!

[dippy bird]

... watch you work your self stupid in the garden (in my case 8 hours today!) ,then they rake up a tiny pile of leaves, walk off,come back with a beer and say that they have deserved it????

[bettyhen]

Leave the toilet seat up

 

Leave the top off the toothpaste

 

Leave crumbs all over the kitchen instead of using a plate

 

Wash their car really well, but never mine

 

I could go on................

 

But that would be nagging!!!!!!!

[majorbloodnock]

Why do women.......

 

 

 

.....

 

 

 

 

 

......

 

 

 

 

...generalise.

 

One husband's faults aren't necessarily inbuilt male design defects any more than being born without some meat and two veg will predict what a wife's imperfections and strengths will be.

 

In our house, both of us can read a road map, but only one is particularly good at it.

In our house, only one of us has stripped a car engine down, had the head reground and reassembled the whole shebang again.

In our house, only one of us gets bored halfway through cooking a meal.

In our house, only one of us dislikes romantic presents.

 

My wife.

 

My experience is that stereotypes often only apply because those applying are selective viewers, and that for every example that proves the point, you can frequently find another example (a quietly ignored example, at that) to counter the argument. Pah. Women!

 

[Chook n Boo Mum]

But you love us really Major

'course he does - where would he be without the wife to boot up the computer for him each morning?

[majorbloodnock]

 

Don't worry; the winking smiley was definitely there for a reason. I'm quite old enough now to know when a skirmish in the battle of the sexes is just a bit of sparring and when the bugler has sounded the attack.

 

Mind you, I don't half enjoy blowing up peoples' misconceptions....

[Cinnamon]

- thats what they are there for,surely?

[Guest]

I'm just more than a little perturbed by these descriptions. My husband doesn't do any of those things, but I do many of them!

 

I don't leave the toilet seat up though. (nor does he)

How very dare you .

 

(I was wondering when a bloke would come and join this thread .)

No-one

 

 

But no-one

 

leaves the loo seat up in my house!

 

This is my house and The Boy is under no illusions when he visits

 

Oh, and I....

 

Can service my own car

Chainsaw logs with the best of them

Know my gears from my cylinder head

Despatch and dress a dozen chooks

 

..... and still turn up at a party looking glam!

 

Meanwhile, The Boy will be slumped in front of the telly having had a hard day mowing the lawn!

[chick wiggle]

YAY Go Claret Girl Power on steroids!

[chickenanne]

Mine is scared of rats, scared of wasps, and thinks mice are "creepy".

I am scared of flying (but have been in a plane crash- really) BUT... I'm the one who's a wimp. Obviously.

 

And WHY does he never take the plug out the kitchen sink when he's done the washing up?

[bigmommasally]

Same here Ginette

 

The only things that I can moan about is that he doesn't rinse the washing up bowl up very well after washing up every night and when he does the ironing, he does all his own, everyones jeans, sheets, tea towels but doesn't do my tops Honestly how rude is that!
