Cinnamon Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 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.

There is a coolbag, a tent and a couple of huge rucksacks/bags lying where they were dumped. He's been back 2 weeks . 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.......!!!

bettyhen Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 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................

majorbloodnock Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 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.

majorbloodnock Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 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.

Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 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!

chickenanne Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 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?

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