Things That Only A Man Would Do!

[fishpieface]

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?

Years ago, OH offered (for a change) to help me wash up.  He then filled the sink with soapy water and left me to get on with it!  He has become a very efficient washer-up now, mind!

You've got to watch the womenfolk too - some years ago I was washing the pans and stuff from Christmas lunch when I found one or two items I didn't recall using when cooking

My wife was drying and putting away, but at the same time she was pulling out anything that looked in need of a wash (i.e. dusty, not mucky) and adding them to the wash pile...

Vamo, sorry but that's funny about the washing up - I may have been tempted to tip the

water on his head!

To be fair to the male species though,l I have to admit I have my faults and failings.

Nice one Merlin, can you send him over to mend my vacuum cleaner too,

it's not worked properly since July, it just won't suck so you could say it

doesn't work at all!

[****merlin*****]

Have you checked that the belt hasn't broken. That's what was wrong with mine.

The funniest thing my husband did still has me in stitches when I think about it, and I can't relate the tale to others without tears streaming down my face!

 We have a walk in en-suite shower with tiles on the floor,  I thought they might be slippery when wet so before we used it I bought one of those rubber mats with suckers on the bottom.  Hubby was the first person to try out the new shower, so after five minutes I went in to see how he was getting on.  He said he'd found everything fine except the rubber mat, which was a bit awkward to use as you couldn't move your feet very well.  He only had it upside down and it was stuck to the soles of his feet!!!

bless, you've gotta love 'em haven't you!!! there isn't enough room on here to tell you the things my OH has done that makes me laugh.

My friends husband got one of those weedkiller sticks that you click and press onto the weed. he did the WHOLE garden, came in knackered and then she realised he'd done the whole thing with the foil you were supposed to take off... still on the top of the stick!!!!!

Oh my god that was so funny, I haven't laughed like that for ages,

I told my husband and he's got the hump now thinks we are talking about him yes. My list is so long it would take ages, so I will just laugh at everyone elses

[ed_blackadder_1]

Will you lot stop my sides are hurting,

[captainbovine]

OH was chatting about china, and how times have changed in the way we eat dinner these days, he said to the company he was in...."well no one uses latrines anymore do they?"......he meant tureens!!

[notgrumpyreally]

I have a similar hubby in the bathroom scenario that still makes me giggle. He hates baths, always a shower man. We had the ensuite re-done with a very deep bath and I had the first bath, really hot with some bath oil. He decided to try the bath out just once and got in after me. When he tried to get out he slipped on the oil and did a complete 360 degree roll! I guess you had to see it but he came up bright pink and spluttering and I really nearly wet myself.

That, I have to say, reminds me of a Laurel and Hardy film in which the same dishes were going round and round because Stan was putting them back on the wrong pile after drying them and Ollie was picking them up and washing them again...

[fishpieface]

Lol, these are so funny.  Just remembered one my daft hubby did, we were

staying in a hotel in Portsmouth and were just getting up.  Hubby came out of

the bathroom with a look of disgust on his face and asked whatever kind of

toothpaste was that I'd bought?  Puzzled, I looked and it was the kind I always

buy but he said it tasted horrible.

That was because he'd been cleaning his teeth with savlon!

Should've gone to specsavers!

[captainbovine]

OMG notgrumpy....that was wicked!!!! now I DO wish I'd have seen that.
