It's a man thing

STOGEY · 09-19-2004

My significant other and I had a discussion about "it's a man thing". In other words something that only we men can do or have a knack at. So this is basically for women only, but everyone can join in too, but I'd like to know is what is it that you women think that we men can do to I guess drive you women insane.

1. For example my significant other says that I don't f-----g listen.

1a. She says that even after I ask her how was her day, and an hour, l'll
ask her what did she do today.

2. Or if we are going somewhere, I never ask for directions.

1. Asking if we locked the door.. then double checking it anyway.
2. Coming home from work and wanting to talk

Making a sporting event/competition out of the most menial things--shooting trash into garbage cans, for example. But THEN they'll drop their clothes next to or on top of the hamper... that would be the time to score that goal, fellas!

While I'm gathering our child and purse and heading out the door he says, "Oh I need a minute, Just gotta take a quick shower(or the bathroom)" After ten years, it still irks me, I swear he loves to be late

Stogey, you are going to be sorry you ever started this thread.

She who must be obeyed gets very annoyed when we go somewhere on the weekend and I have to check engine oil. She thinks I wait until she is ready just to annoy her.

This happened yesterday so is fresh on my mind....Not going to the doctor when it's obvious to the rest of the world you need one. Then whining about the fact the cut you didn't get stiched isn't healing or whatever else the ailment is isn't getting better.

Sitting on the sofa with the remote clicking away channel after channel after channel..... rather than picking up the TV Guide and looking up what is on at the time. By the time he settles on a program, it's 10 minutes into it and we don't know what the heck is going on. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Keith did that to me once about 10 years ago.

Keith used to play ultimate frisbee when we lived in Rochester, NY... one of the leagues he played on was a traveling league. One weekend, we travel 8+ hours to a tournament in Providence, RI... which was cool because my sister lives right outside Providence. So it's the 1st game of the tournament... my sister and 1 yr old niece and I are sitting on the sidelines... in the 1st 5 minutes of the game Keith dives to catch a frisbee and lands right on his shoulder... the crack was so loud we could here it on the sidelines... my sister, who's a nurse, turns to me and says "That's not good... he broke something." Of course, Keith try's to keep playing but... he's in too much pain so has to sit out the rest of the tournament... though he refuses to leave until the tournament is over. My sister insists he should go to the ER to have his shoulder looked at... but Noooo... he refuses!!! Damn man... kept me up all night because he couldn't sleep due to the pain. So in the morning... we have to find an emergency walk-in clinic that's open on a Sunday. Ends up he broke his collar bone.

I think that women should just get over it and realize that the tv clicker is ours. And as far as getting a cut goes, there's nothing that a little hydrogen peroxide can't heal. And stitches are for sissies.

I can't believe we haven't gotten bashed with the toilet seat yet !!!

Not being able to find things that are clearly right in front of him. I have made peace (and the appropriate adjustments) with living on "Rob Time".

Yep... and i'll tell you, finding a replacement seat that suits wifey's butt just like the original did is impossible

Never again will I shop for a toilet seat, that's something best left to chickkind !!!

we give them a washer & dryer, stove, kitchen sink, & running water to do laundry & dishes & now they want comtrol of the T.V. too, go figure

Anything that doesn't require 10 stitches is a scratch, get over it
