my wife has never cleaned a toilet either

my wife has never cleaned a toilet either

Ah my wife is fine with that. The issue on cleaning is that she will either go ALL out, or do nothing at all. There is no middle ground. So cleaning the bathroom will take at least an hour and a half. We've got three bathrooms and a downstairs loo. It's the same with other rooms. She won't vacuum unless she's going to vacuum, dust everything, polish every surface, wash the curtains, sort the kids toys out into genre, etc.

I don't mind about any of this. However, if I dare decide that I can't stand the dirty bathroom and spend a mere 30 minutes cleaning it, I get a torrent of abuse for not doing it properly.

"Why are you bothering to vacuum if you aren't going to dust as well?"


Anyway, this has been cathartic. I'm off to smother her in her sleep.

As this thread grows, the more glad I feel about getting divorced thirty years ago, and staying single as I intend, for ever!

 

[Jack Straw]

You've got it!

[Shropshire Seagull]

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?

why would she need to wash the curtains .... *snigger*

That is brilliant. Everyone should read this after the thread.

"Margret thinks I'm vain because... I use a mirror when I shave. During this argument in the bathroom - our fourth most popular location for arguments, it will delight and charm you to learn - Margret proved that shaving with a mirror could only be seen as outrageous narcissism by saying, 'None of the other men I've been with,' (my, but it's all I can do to stop myself hugging her when she begins sentences like that) 'None of the other men I've been with used a mirror to shave.'
'Ha! Difficult to check up on that, isn't it? As all the other men you've been with can now only communicate by blinking their eyes!' I said. Much later. When Margret had left the house."

the watching a film bit is bang on...!!

Don't you start! I was after moral support. You'll be telling me it's normal to keep ketchup and all jams in the fridge next ( which I should have included on the list).

Erm.... we do. Cough.

I've come in to work this morning for a bit of overtime.

The bin was full so I drew the strings ready for emptying. I had my hands full so couldn't take it out with me.

When I get home what do you think will greet me?

A) an emptied bin with new bag in it and the old one in the communal bins.

B) the old bag next to our bin in the kitchen with a new liner.

C) rubbish just placed on the old liner in the bin.

D) rubbish on the worktop and the bin completely untouched.

Over to you......

Years ago I was sat in a pub near Brighton station with Mrs Piggle. We had played a pre season friendly against Forest I think and a load of Albion fans walked in

'Why have they all got Donatello on thier tops?
'We're sponsored by the Teenage mutant ninja turtles'
'Really?
'Yeah'

Suspicious of this she asked the guy on the next table

'Are Brighton sponsored by the Teenage mutant ninja turtles?
'Yes love, Shame my mates gone for a piss, he's got Michael Angelo on his shirt'

Someone once said "Men's greatness blind spot with regard to women is that they think they'll never change their habits from when you first meet them; but they do. Women's is that they think that their menfolk will change their habits given time and encouragement; but they don't".

How do you get away with calling your missus 'the old bag'

 

[Nibble]

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".

 

[wellquickwoody]

Apparently it is! I have always refused to put ketchup in the fridge, but seemingly because they have reduced the amount of salt in ketchup over the last few years - it now goes off if it's not in the fridge.

Nooooo! Having now started house hunting down here at last we are having conversations about differences between here and Blighty. One thing I do not want is 'chilled' ketchup on my hot food, just wrong. We have decided to trial a 'warm' one and see if it goes off, will report back later.

 

[wellquickwoody]

These are women that you chose to marry. So who are the stupid ones?

Just for once, please stay off of a thread you were not invited too? Bit like saying how you hated someone's music on an RIP thread

It's an open forum where threads are not restricted to one sort of poster. I notice you didn't have the guts to criticise [MENTION=249]edna krabappel[/MENTION].

I've never said I've hated anyone's music on an RIP thread.

It seems my post hit a nerve, didn't it?

Oh I have criticised Edna in the past, but she is usually funny. You are just pedantic.

Got it in one.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Could it?

Erm, yes.
I hate to stereotype(no I don't), but a womans brain works totally different from the rational, level headed, no need to over complicate things of a mans brain. Most blokes compartmentalise things, do them one at a time and do that one thing to the best of our ability. A cross section of a womans 'brain' would show a smattering of neurons, running around trying to find their keys or glasses...or trying on different outfits. All the while, through this chaos, a hundred different things are being juggled around. This probably explains why a woman starts a conversation with a man half way through any given subject. It's probably why women think their man is going deaf. He isn't, he just gets sick of saying what the eff are you rambling about now?
