How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Men Equals Frustrating?

in Everyday on 11/13/10

They don’t apologise unless they are prompted. I’m not even sure that counts.

Flowers that used to come for no reason at all, those are only for anniversaries now. Don’t dudes know you score major points for flowers for no reason? Once you have been married for more then 10 years, you guys need all the points you can get.

They simply cannot replace the toilet paper roll. It’s against the man code or something.

They must always ask “Is the dishwasher clean?” Huh? Look in it! Is there crap stuck to the plates? Then it is dirty.

Furthermore…if that garbage pail is overflowing and stinks like rotting eggs…be a hero, take it out. Remember the points?

For years they have tried to convince us that golf games take all day. Seriously, I’m not that blonde and der I have played golf before. I know how long that stupid game takes!

It is preferable for stinky underwear to go in the laundry basket. Just sayin.

If your going to swipe you wife’s deodorant, at least pick your man hairs off it before you put it back. Oh yes! I said it!

They snore. Loudly.

Burping, farting, scratching? Seriously? Not so attractive. It would be best if you did that stuff down in your man cave where we can’t see it. Preserve the illusion of man hotness we have in our heads.

Sigh. Good thing they can fix stuff and are seriously cute.

      Oh god, my husband always asks if the dishes are clean in the dishwasher too. Drives me insane. Also, when he opens the fridge to find something & says it’s not there. He has not yet gotten the concept of LOOKING BEHIND THINGS! Gah!

      I knew there was a reason I am still happily single….

      The next generation have my sympathy, I work with males aged between 15-32 and none of them have any idea on how to keep us happy… They dont grasp the concept of gifts for no reason, flowers, do dishes, taking out the rubbish, carrying bags or boxes, and they all find burping, farting and public scratching a requirement of their manhood…..
      Heaven help their future wives!

      I’m with Shortmama; except that in lieu of flowers, he snakes the drain without complaint~ BIG POINTS. We’re only on year 9 of our marriage though so I’m not sure I fit the qualifications to comment. PS- I fart and burp too :X

      That’s why god invented True Blood, so we can get lost in fantasy and forget about the sloppies we live with 😉

      LOL! My DH is not good at fixing things. I just keep him around to laugh at!

      The deodorant cracked me up!

      the 2 things that drive me batty are leaving just 1 paper towel on the paper towel roll so I have to be the one to change it, and when he opens a dishwasher full of clean dishes, takes out the coffee pot and closes it back up. PUT THE REST AWAY!

    12. shortmama says

      November 13, 2010 at 5:04 pm

      I must have picked a winner because mine is big on apologizing, still brings me random flowers, unloads the dishwasher himself and takes out trash, doesnt play golf, underwear in basket, never stolen my deodorant!!

      The burping farting and scratching…his only flaws LOL

      Oh and here’s another one: stay in the man cave! We don’t want you to come out JUST when you want food or sex!
      Loved this!
