Things That Only A Man Would Do!

My Hubby left put our container that holds raisins, a plastic

thing which holds one large packet of raisins, back in the

cupboard with ONE teeny little lonely raisin in it.  Then, next

day he said disappointedly and with a degree of false

surprise, "Oh look, YOU've run out of raisins"!

Another occasions, we went to a function on Saturday

celebrating my friend's parents' diamond wedding.  I

went into the kitchen there to find four teenagers all

clustered round a dishwasher, one with a little dishwasher

tablet thingy in his hand, wondering where to put it.  When

eventually they installed it in the right (?) place, they

were all looking at the buttons and dials, wondering how

on earth one turned it on!  Meanwhile the girlies had washed

up several piles of stuff in the sink the old-fashioned way!

There must be many more, anyone got any to share?

I'm mostly the one who does the daft things in our household. I think the "man thing" he does is actually one that he doesn't - read instructions!

I sent my lovely O/H upstairs to clean the shower. "What shall I use to clean it?" he asks (a bit like the "there's a hole in my bucket type-thing).

"Oh, there's lots of things to choose from" says I.

About an hour later, I wondered where he had got to, so marched upstairs expecting him to be skiving on the bed, flaked out and watching the telly.

Nope - he was indeed in the shower, barefooted, jeans rolled up, cloth in hand, very (extremely) red in the face . . . . . "I can't get rid of these smears"

What had he been using? Factor 50 suncream

That's funny Kiss-my-pixel, reminds me of the time a few years back when I

was on coach washing duty one evening.  We used to have the air-freshener

delivered in similar drums to the soap stuff, and decant it into little spray

bottles for squirting about. 

On this particular evening I was having real trouble with the soap, it wouldn't

lather and it seemed harder than usual to get the dirt off the coaches.  The

following day I commented that the latest batch of soap wasn't as good as

what they usually buy.

Yup, I'd washed a whole fleet of coaches with air freshener.  They didn't come

up that clean but boy did they smell lovely!

Just been tidying the airing cupboard and I put a lot of curtains and blankets in one of those vaccumn bags, the airing cupboard is in my husbands office and as he works from home he was in the room at the time, I casually said to him if you hear a hissing sound don't panic its the air going back in the bag.  Ok says he so long as its not the immersion heater, immersion heater says I we don't have one, oh don't we says he we had one in the old house, and I replied yes but we have a combi boiler here we don't need an immersion heater.  How long have we been living here, 8 1/2 years.  He reckons he has only ever been in the cupboard 3 times looking for a towell. Thats probably because the fairies normally have the towells ready and waiting.
