Do YOU talk about work when you get home?

[Lush]

It's definitely NOT a woman thing.

It's to do with how people hold conversations. I tend to be a summariser of things like days at work, conversations I've had with other people, trips, holidays etc. Some people recount events as though they're actually happening in front of them - "I said....", "Then he said...," "Then I did...." etc

I always feel like I'm boring people when I do that.

No, i certainly don't. I leave office, go home and forget about it until the following day.

So you get a blow by blow account then?

Under certain circumstances I'm a very good listener...

Women just want to talk, if they have been to the shops, they tell you all about it, If they have been on a bus you get to know the deets, therefore, inevitably, if they have been at work they want to tell you all about it - even though it is crushingly dull to blokes listening about trivial problems experienced by people you don't know...thats why they watch so much soap and celebrity jungle/dancing/horseriding b*llocks on the TV.

Solutions to this include.

Go to Pub on way home. Beer will make you more mellow and happy to listen to her twaddle.

Get a second Sky box and sit glued to all the Hitler related documentaries in another room.

Become Gay.

Divorce.

Not really sure what the wife blathers blathers on about in the evenings. Since we married I've make a point of wearing headphones from the minute I enter the house til I leave the following morning.

We hardly ever row any more.

 

[king Wombat]

defintely a female thing. me and all my male friends agree and actually all their partners agree although they fluffy it up with crap like 'we like to let you know what we've been doing all day'.

 

[Gully]

No, not at all, mind you I would be a little concerned if I did as I currently live on my own. Perhaps I should get a pet, was thinking of getting a cat, then I could bore it with tales of derring doo from work.

No, I have not changed sex. She ws a gorgeous girl who allowed me to take pics of her at the London motorshow this year

I never talk about work, my wife knows I go to Uni each day, but has no idea what I teach or anything to do with the days leering.

 

[Beach Hut]

We talk quite a lot at present about my job as I find it irritating to say the least.

Every day she says "have a good day at the office" - I reply "I won't", very much Reggie Perrin
