Ladies, have you ever had a person that you care about but he has this annoying habit that grinds your nerves?
Since you're an open and honest human being, you want to talk to him about it, but the one time you alluded to it before, he got all huffy about it. Now, you don't want to bring it up because you're thinking it'll turn into this whole, big thing. So, since he’s a great person, you just ignore it even though you really wish he'd stop doing it. Well, it just may be possible that you're doing something very similar to some of the men in your life. Too harsh? Okay, maybe not YOU, but your loud friend, you know -- the one that doesn't have a lot of tact? She may be doing some of these things and by reading this article, you may be able to help her with things like...

If you have the ability, commuting to/from work on your bicycle is a great way to do this.
(I moved further out of town (30 miles from work) so I can't do it anymore. But for awhile I was commuting 17 miles each way, 3x / week. Kept the weight off, too.)
My friend’s wife gives him the silent treatment when he does something that really annoys her. So of course he likes that and gets her pissed off on purpose usually on Fridays so she will get upset and shut up and go shopping or just get out of the house and go with her friends on the weekends. He said she’s starting to figure it out and it doesn’t always work.

Ditto. I have one corner.
Never knew it takes every cooking item in the kitchen to make a sandwich. Did you?
“#6. Randomly move items from where men expect to find them. Women have the innate ability to move items into a man’s blind spot. They can move it a foot... “
Absolutely that. I have literally missed things I was looking for because my wife replaced it a foot from its official spot.
“Everybody brings joy into a room.
Some when they enter.
Others when they leave.”
That is a good lesson to remember
SHE: “It’s right there in the kitchen.” (The kitchen has 5 large appliances and 50 shelves within 22 cupboards.)
HE: “Where in the kitchen?”
SHE (leaving her chair): “Why can’t men ever find anything themselves?”
HE (under his breath): “Mission accomplished.”
C.S. Lewis said the problems between men and woman can be boiled down to the fact women do not have nouns in their vocabulary.
Wife (When you are in another room: Dear can you do this?
Husband: Do what?
Wife: This!
The quote is from That Hideous Strength, and ties the the comments above together nicely:
"The cardinal difficulty," said MacPhee, " in collaboration between the sexes is that women speak a language without nouns. If two men are doing a bit of work one will say to the other, ' Put this bowl inside the bigger bowl which you'll find on the top shelf of the green cupboard.' The female for this is, ' Put that in the other one in there.' There is consequently a phatic hiatus."
I found out the hard way you can do everything. Certainly everything important.
God forgives. Women do not.
"Women.., can't live with 'em.., the end.
Almost all of them do that. Build a back entrance to the den or man cave and sneak in. Sit in the truck for awhile. Putter in the yard, she will never come out there especially if you do anything that looks like work.
Are you still getting sex? Don’t complain so much.
There is no articles about # Things Men do that secretly annoy Women
1) The # is too high to be counted
2) There are no secrets, the Women will tell Men about them in due time
In retirement I have become somewhat of a Felix Unger. I put things up where they belong. Drives the wife batshi# crazy, he,he,he.
“Keep quiet as if the words were never said and let those words evaporate into the celestial ether—where they belong.”
Forgiveness is one of the basic behaviors of Christianity.
Same? Here but she gets the master br. I’m just happy I don’t have to go outside when it is cold.
Nope, you’re not the only one; I married well too.
She tries to do 2/3 of the work in the family, especially things that she’s good at or that will make me happy. I try to do 2/3 of the work in the family, especially things that I’m good at or that will make her happy.
She is not perfect, but neither am I, and she is pretty close. She tells me more about her day than I want to hear, but I get to enjoy her voice and just looking at her while she does, plus she is much more relaxed once she has talked it all out. I know she is just talking, not asking for solutions, so I don’t have any desire to make suggestions unless there is a specific question.
I put the toilet seat down, just in case she doesn’t look, since I think it’s polite and not getting stuck in the toilet at 3:00 am matters to her (and I don’t want either of us to deal with her falling it at 3:00 am either), and I don’t care where the seat starts. As far as I know, she doesn’t expect me to read her mind. If she was ever expecting that, by now she has learned that I don’t even know I should try.
Is be willing to take that chance.
Wow, how about people either talk to the person who is annoying them and work it out or keep their whining to themselves?
