Title: Men Looking For Things
Post by: joan on March 17, 2009, 06:55:17 AM
What is it with men,when they go to get something say from the fridge or the  kitchen cubaord and the thing they are looking for is not in front of thier eyes and is not on the normal shelf they assume we havent got it.Having a good luck to see if its behind something doesn,t seem to enter their heads.Thats to simple unless its alcholic of course.

When my husband swears its not where I told him it was, the standard reply from me is "If I have to get up from here and it is there I will hit you on the head with it"  Its no wonder he's daft.:D

Why do you think it needed putting away in the first place? It was where it was because we knew where to find it.

Bloody women, put things "away" in ridiculous places. Sit down to watch TV and where is the remote? On top of the telly, so you have to get up anyway. Leave our things alone wimmin!

And they don't make it any easier when you ask where they put something. "Where is it" - "In the cupboard in the kitchen" - [narrows it down to only looking in 12 cupboards] - "Which cupboard in the kitchen?" - "the one near the cooker" [narrows it down to only looking in 6 cupboards].

Women eh, they complain about the time us men take up, but they hide all our wordly goods then drip feed us clues on how to find them :(

Question in a Primary School Quiz "Where would you find a lanyard".

Little Johnie, aged 8, answered "Where you left it".

Priceless:D

When we were first married, Mrs H was for ever complaining that I couldn't find a certain something.

I always thought that was a bit harsh, because I didn't know what I was looking for ;)

That's because we help by putting it safely away in the first place :D

"Hey Dad, where is the Ukraine?".

"Ask your mother, she puts everything away in this house".
Title: Men Looking For Things
Post by: Highlander on March 18, 2009, 13:02:07 PM
Why is it that when Mrs H loses something it's always my fault. Without fail, she asks indignantly " What have you done with such and such" OR "Where have you put such and such"

I am always tempted to retort "How the hell could I have done anything with "it" or put "it" somewhere when I didn't know where it was in the first place, you stupid woman"

But I know my station in life.:(

i think the problem is that men are famous for being systematic & orderly when ever they put things away, this is because we poor men have so little room at our disposal we have to utilise every square centimetre of space we can. lt is a well known fact that our beloveds have 3/4 of all available space in the house for their use & control.  Because we are so confined we have to be tidy, or if none of our space is available we may have to encroach on our beloveds excessive area.  With this in mind, even you ladies can understand that if our beer, or other essentials are not where they normally are, we simply have none so we must re-plenish, we would not assume that it has been moved.  We just cannot get our orderly brains round the fact that ladies are prone to be a bit haphazard in some respects.

What is so technical about the lid of the laundry basket?   Washing is not an ornament to adorn the floor and top of the basket.

I don't mind him saving receipts, but don't pile them on the kitchen work surface.

Why does a 5 minute DIY job take 8 months to be started and the tools stay out for a further 3 months after.

Lynn aswell as taking 8 months to start a job what about when you are asked to hold the screws or nails and pass them.Then when the screw goes in cockeyed and has to be taken out and put in again its your fault,how can the way you pass a screw or nail make it go in the wrong way :o

LOL, you're on your own there Joan.  I don't have that problem.  You have my sympathy.  X   ;)

We're only being considerate Rindaloo. If we leave it on top, you don't even have to take te lid off

Would you prefer we left them in our trousers on top of the laundry basket so you ncould wash them

Because if we left it to you ladies, you would cahnge your mind 14 times before you even started

I used to do that (and get royally b*****ked for it too). However, when I refitted the bathroom I put in a "soft close" toilet seat that gradually lets itself down once you give it a push. I'm still most amused every time I use it and even after a year I still put the seat down.

Lol BlackAdder    I WANT ONE.  We only have one male in the family, so how come all three loo seats are usually to be found left up ? - ah, we do have a male cat, perhaps thats the answer !!
