That literally happened to me this morning. Twice. Two women getting on the same bus, at different stops both had to rummage around inside their TARDIS bags for their bus pass, added minutes onto the journey FFS!

TO be fair it is difficult to find a bus pass amongst a years worth of receipts which are essential to keep hold of

Just a minor irritation, but why do women assume that you will hear what they say even though you are in a different room?

To speak in a low voice, with head down while doing something - the sound is never going to travel .. First you get the hearer's attention, right?

" No, I am not deaf ...you have to speak so as to be heard"

Most of the time. I also find myself counting to 10 quite a lot too.

She also doesn't know how to put a teabag in the bin. She just leaves them on the draining board next to the sink staining it brown. Next week I am going to conduct an experiment. I'm going to take a photo with a post it note next to the pile denoting how many days it will build up for before I either tell her to throw them away or give in and end up doing it myself.

On a similar note, I was so fed up with my 16 year old leaving full cups of tea, that I made a Facebook album of his 'Unloved Cuppas'. It is quite an attractive album the and he is starting to mend his ways.

My wife does that too so I tried making her cups just a quarter full instead. Not a good idea; I've had earache ever since.....!

My wife has a habit of wanting to rewind for a minute or two during virtually every TV programme we watch, either because she hasn't understood something or was too busy doing her makeup/fiddling with the washing etc. to concentrate on the programme.

Drives me nuts especially when she wants me to explain everything she hasn't understood to date.

I do try to say that she's been watching the same programme as me and often things are not self explanatory until later on but does it stop her.....!?

For all the blokes on here moaning about the shortcomings of their betrothed, I can only imagine their better halves shag like porn stars - else why did you marry them?

They only do that before they get married! All single men must remember that before popping the question.....!

as a member of the fairer sex, i have read and chuckled through the postings...
i cannot vouch for, nor condone womanly oddities, but rest assured, somewhere in a parallel universe, on a internet forum (or prob mumsnet) there is a reciprocated thread..

On the subject of TV programmes....

Mrs H simply LOVES all those fly-on-the-wall programs about hospitals, vets, ambulances, baliffs and the like. I have no interest whatsoever so she records them. When she comes to watch them I beetle off into the room next door and go on the computer. I can see her from there but cannot see the telly (thank goodness as I don't want to see bones and intestines all over the place).
She then insists on giving me a running commentary and saying "Look at that" when, in order to view it (it'll be an alsatian with a prolapsed anus or somesuch) I'd need to be able to see through walls. No matter how many times I say I don't want to look at it, the commentary continues.

To be fair I think you're actually supposed to wash clothes inside out. Especially colours. Supposed to help keep the colours vibrant for longer or something.

And shampoo has a brain. Don't believe the hype.

God yes, the piles of letters, clothes, receipts, diaries, cards etc. That I continually ask her to clear away. A task she suddenly embarks upon at 10pm on a Wednesday evening that for some inexplicable reason now requires my assistance.
These bloody piles of stuff. In fact any job that needed doing a month ago seems to commence at some ungodly hour just as I'm trying to get chilled before bed. I've been in the loft at midnight looking for god knows what!
Yet I leave a spanner or a book on the side for more than 20 seconds and I'm "turning the flat upside down".

We (I) had a clear up of the kitchen receipts a while ago. I thought I would just go an do a random check now and all invoices seem to at least be dated 2017 but with school reports still laying around from June 2014.

My wife won't floss her teeth because she doesn't like the sound it makes. Guess who's got several fillings?

A relative, on seeing a flat tyre, said, "It's only flat at the bottom!"

I get the same in 'Strictly' season. Happening as we speak, in fact!

And presumably what you are viewing on the computer at the same time she's occupied in the other room is totally clean.....?
