toilets, towels, & cats *ping*
(aka another battle of the sexes thread)
Ya'll have toliets "and" towels ?.......I have to get a better job.
I am now officially admitting some of my possibly annoying habits:
1. squeezing toothpaste in the middle
2. no soap dish
3. refusing to cook steak
4. leaving dirty clothes on the bathroom floor
5. I walk around bare foot
6. I listen to NPR
7. I like Oprah
,,, I vote you off Long Island.
In a pinch, I'll just water the neighbor's annoying foo-foo flower beds lining the properties.
No seat, no lid and no need to flush.
I've learned to sit down instead of standing. Easier to do the crossword puzzle sitting instead of standing. And women say they got it rough.
LOL...."Didn't Wash Hands"......My husband had an Administrative Assistant who sat right outside the mens room in his office.....she would ask guys "How come you didn't wash your hands?" when they left......(She could hear everything from the mens room.) HILARIOUS ..... she did it to ANY guy, didn't matter.....and she was NOT an OLD lady, she was in her 20's....(AND, a GREAT Admin also.
All but 6 & 7 are forgivable.
6 or 7 are grounds for a divorce.
not a single mention of f*rts.....hmmm.....
LOL!!!
I pee on stilts.
Our cat too... He knows if he claws the carpet, one of us will ~move~ and put him out. He'll do it and stare right at us. Nothing else works as well ;~D
Who cares? Toothepaste is cheep.
2. no soap dish
Soap is even cheeper.
3. refusing to cook steak
Guy's job - anything on the grill.
4. leaving dirty clothes on the bathroom floor
Well, somebody will pick them up, when we run out of towels.
5. I walk around bare foot
You will love WVA. I do.
6. I listen to NPR
Oops. Get thee behind me...
(So do I. With a jaundiced ear.)
7. I like Oprah
Ok, thats it. Your off my list.
LOL/
:D
With men, it is leaving the toilet seat down causing them to have to raise it and get their hands dirty.
Some husbands do their manicures with teeth exclusively and never use any manicure tools whatsoever. (If the shoe fits, wear it, guys!)
Some husbands seem selectively very hard of hearing. They may not be able to hear it thunder or wifey holler, "The house is on fire!" However, just let wifey be clear across the house with the attic fan running on high and emit the teeniest, tiniest little fart and hubby yells at the top of his lungs, "Please quit farting so loud! It is hurting my eardrums!" Of course, he is deaf when it comes to some of his flatulent, deafening explosions!
Shower strikes. When he is on one of these, the only part of him that gets bathed is from his neck up. The spray deodorant is suddenly classified as a "shower" (to cover the underarm odor) and Shower to Shower powder is thought to be really a shower as well.
Underwear on the floor. The leg holes are taken off in such a way as to look like two big eyes just staring at me as if to say, "When are you going to pick us up?" This is without fail.
Actually, it is much more work to raise the seat for men, as the little lady has gravity to assist in her menial task that just takes a mere flip of a finger.
Early in our marriage my wife suggested leaving BOTH covers down so both of us would have to make an effort. I agreed, although I am sure there have been times when I've fallen short. We're still married, although I'm loosing count of the years flying by.
FWIW, wet towels have never been an issue in my home.
I want you to know... I have never considered ~wanting~ to ask this of a man... and the idea kindof creeps me out.
