A womans guide to dealing with men.

ORIGINAL: MhadDog

  When a man is watching something on T.V.,your talking through the program and being silent during the commercials is annoying,and you shouldn't get huffy when the man asks you to be quiet.

I'm not even allowed to talk when the television is on, period. I *literally* have to *DANCE* in front of it to get his attention. Saying his name, heck, YELLING his name over and over won't work. The smoke detector has gone off and he didn't notice!!! [sm=flamethrower.gif] And when I get pissy about it he says, "But baby...this is research!" He's a Film major. Any suggestions on how to argue with that?

i'm gonna speak for my husband here:

1. I dont bake. ever. so dont ask.

2. Do not hover around me asking questions when i am on the phone. i'll tell you who it is and what they said after we've hung up.

3. do not expect me to remember every detail of every conversation. your mom/my mom called. i dont know what she wanted because it didnt involve cars.

4. If i run into my best friend/my dad/your dad dont ask what we talked about because we wont remember because it wasnt important anyway. i was only telling you i ran into them to let you know they were still alive.

5. Dont hire me out to fix your friend's/loved one's car/lawn mower/washer/dryer/light fixtures etc etc etc

6. Its just a spider... YOU smoosh it with YOUR shoe. Why should i be the one to walk around on bug guts all day?

7. You dont like my friends and i dont like your friends.

8. Women's fantasies and Men's fantasies are different. Yours bore us, ours disgust you.

9. I like working on my car for fun, like installing a brand new  motor. when it breaks unexpectedly i'm not going to be happy and that is NOT the time to start the "Honey-Do" list.

10. Dont get mad because i spent ONE of my days off working on my car. If you want company then pull up a chair in the garage.

11. My side of the bed is beside the door, always. for two reasons 1: if there is a strange noise you are going to make me go check it out anyway. 2: if we go to bed mad and there is a fire i dont know if you will wake me up in time.

12. There's your time, my time and our time.

13. Its just as easy for you to put the toilet seat down as it is for me to put it up. i dont want to pee on it at five am anymore than you want to fall in at five am.

14. I dont mind getting groceries but dont expect me to use coupons. Coupons were invented to make you spend money, not save it. we know this and we know you dont know this.

15. Yeah i'm gonna look. and dont pretend you dont. men still like the same things they liked when they were 18.

2: if we go to bed mad and there is a fire i dont know if you will wake me up in time.

LMAO!! Ok, you believe whatever you want buddy.... []

Okay, I need a man's veiw on this one...  Why is it when my hubby is on the phone, he expects me to sit back and be quiet but the second I get on the phone, here comes the non-stop talking.  He doesn't want to talk until he knows that I am busy. Another thing...  He wants help mowing the yard but does he help me inside?  NO!  Mean just make no sense to me.  Can't live with them, can't shoot them!

yeah my husband does the same thing with the phone. if he catches enough of the conversation he starts adding his thoughts on things, THEN wants me to relay the message. either i hand him the phone, or the person on the other end has moved on to a different subject. i'm left with two different people yapping in both ears....

All I can say is hahahahahaha....it all fits so perfectly to my life!

My husband is soo annoying when I get on the phone.  I too, have to play "messenger"  I cannot even have a phone convo. if he's home!  But, if I ask him who he's talking to or anything like that, he makes it a point to leave the room!

lmao! yeah mine too!! he just ignores me or holds up his hand like a traffic cop.....  guys just DON'T know how to multi task!! 

Hmmmmmm, all I can say is that I am soooo glad that I have what seems to be an atypical hubby!!
 
The one thing I'll agree with is that mens time is different than OUR time.  A minute to me means 60 seconds...a minute to them can mean just about anything.
 
Don't even get me starting on "helping" around the house.  Helping implies that it is MY job, despite working all day/week and that he is pitching in to give me some relief.  Ummmm, no.  Inside and outside, equal responsibility since we both work.  The pool I leave to him, but he enjoys that.  Cooking on the grill....HIS job, cooking inside MY job, but, cleanup is a dual responsibility.  Now when I was HOME it was a different stoy.  I didn't expect him to shoulder his share of the load because I WAS home all day.  But he is NOT helping when he dusts or sweeps the floor or starts a load of laundry.  He's doing his share.
