According to you, we jointly own everything... until It comes to your car... then It's MY car.

When filling the car, you time It to precision so It doesn't go one penny over £20 and then spend £2.90 on Crisps and sweets while paying.

You nag me Incessantly to get a move on getting ready to go out because we're running late and just as we are going out the door, you need to take a dump.

You don't bat an eyelid at us cooking a 3 course meal from scratch but according to you, turning the grill on for toasted cheese, constitutes ' cooking',

And does putting washing in a box and pressing a button constitute washing ?

You have to buy every latest gadget on the market because It's ' Interesting' but have no concept of why we buy the latest mascara.

You ask us If we really need all the crap In the kitchen cupboards while you cram even more crap that you'll never use Into your shed.

When you and your pals talk about someone, you're having a discussion but apparently when we do the same, we are being b.itchy.

You evesdrop on the neighbours arguing and you're being a concerned neighbour. We do It and we're being ' nosy'.

You wear a pair of pants for 10 years because you're being ' thrifty' but when we save carrier bags, we're being obsessive.

Some years back, my brother and I were wandering through a Sears store on our way to the Hardware department to get some tools.

As we passed the Appliance department, a young, eager salesman stepped into our path.

"Can I interest you gentlemen in a Washer and dryer, today."

Obviously, he had no clue who he was dealing with, calling us "gentlemen" but we stopped to hear his spiel.

When he was finished, Bob says, So why in the world would I want one of those things?"

"why, to wash your clothes." he replied.

Bob says, "Hell, that's what the wife is for."

Slightly bemused, the salesman says, "Well, of course. She can use the washer and dryer."

Bob, says, "Oh no, she can just use the crick out back o' the house." And off we go to hardware.

The guy was still standing there staring at us when we passed him on the way to check out.

When we have crippling menstrual pain you expect the house to run as normal. When you get the slightest sniffle, you take to your bed for a week wanting tea and sympathy.

So we're labelled chauvinist pigs if we bring up the fact that women can't put down the phone and they drive as though they have no idea what the rear-view mirror is for - but this thread is OK? :p

Seeing a poor example of driving, you say ' bet It's a woman' until you get closer and seeing It's a bloke, you say ' must be a learner'.

When we eye you suspiciously because you arrive home with a bouquet of flowers, you say ' FFS, can't I give my wife flowers for no reason?'.... Then 4 hours later we find what you have broken.

Semi trailers don't have a rear vision mirror. Only side ones. :P :P :P :P

But you'd know that if you drove one like me :P

I am the exception to that rule. I sometimes send my wife a "You are the best" card for no other reason than I was thinking about her.

I know that, but I didn't think you did. :) Nice to hear It.... actually, to be honest, my husband Is slightly over generous on the gifts and cards side. He does give me a lot of unexpected gifts and soppy cards. Flowers too at least once a week but today he was just being a bit sheepish.

I'm much more spontaneous than that. My wife NEVER expects it when I spring a little surprise for her.

"Enemy"? Oh shyt! I was fully aware that they send you a notice when someone adds you to their "friends list" but I had no idea they also notify you when you're added to someone's "enemy list"! Ooooops!

Try stringing it up at eye-level instead. It's better for your back, and it'll keep the wash off the grass too.

You accuse us of not thinking things through... but... I swear this took place an hour ago.

And the award for ' Not Thinking things through' goes to my husband.... Last night I e mail my racing syndicate asking them to please send horse updates to my husbands e mail address until further notice as I have a problem. I explain to my husband the problem being I can send e mail but can not receive... He's just said to me, I got your horse update In an e mail and...... I've e mailed It to you...

In that case you ought NOT to criticize us for "not thinking things through" but for (and I know I'm guilty of this) not letting you finish speaking, or only listening to the first part and assuming you mean something else.

While we're on the subject, it might not be that women don't think things through so much but the fact that they often come to illogical conclusions. I met an American girl in Basel (Switzerland). She was writing a post card to send back home. I noticed that the card was of a castle in Germany so I asked her if it wasn't odd sending a German post card from Switzerland. "I already thought that through", she replied, "I bought the postage stamp before I left Germany!"

We were all at a Cricket match and some old boy was talking about a woman he knew but couldn't remember her name. He's saying over and over ' oh what was her name again? Mr Clarke's wife... now what was her name ? My Mother turned and said dryly ' Mrs Clarke' ?.... The silence was deafening.... see.. female logic.
