    This just cracked me up!! I totally agree! Does yours call you and just keep talking and talking and talking about nothing when you are going to be home from work in 5 minutes too?
    Mine called me today at work to tell me he had called the DishNetwork Company.."but I'll tell you about it at home". For the next 5 minutes he told me about it on the phone! LOL! Crazy!

    Conclusion: We want to get in, get out and get back to quilting!!!!!!!!!!!!
    my best friend says that this is man's version of multitasking...crossword puzzle and "sitting"! I swear that she's right

    Toilet seat up in my bathroom. I don't care what he does in his bathroom, but leave mine the way you left it!

    I can't stand for him to ask stupid questions, like 'where is that ice cream you bought today'? I answer 'it's in the oven'. Since he is a native Texan and I'm originally from Pennsylvania, he tells me 'you have a smart Yankee mouth'. I tell him 'maybe so, but I know where the ice cream is'.
    If you were from the same place as me and ditto for our spouses, I'd swear we were twins who married twins! I am so laughing out loud that my husband is afraid to ask--

    my answers are a tad different-I say, what does it look like I'm doing? Then I ask why he asked when he so clearly sees that I am sitting at my machine, sewing blue and yellow pieces together... as DD would say, DUH

    and my husband's "nickname" for me? WAB (aka wise-a@@ b@@) I can't say he is wrong....



    :-P

    this is so true..

    Man reads that women say twice as many words per day as men.
    He tells this to his wife.
    She says "Of course women say twice as much as men because men don't listen so women have to repeat everything."
    He replies "What?"

    Was a widow for 10 yrs, then someone I had known from early years (age 13). Came & asked me to start over with him (sounds good, every time I looked at him he looked like Dustin Hoffman). Now 5 years have gone by, and I would like a chain saw. I didn't count on him wanting to be a BFF with his EX. He drops everything to help her (and she calls all the time). Each time he goes to help his BFF, I go shopping!!!! And then I spend the next few days SEWING, SEWING, SEWING & SEWING. When ever he asks what the idea behind a quilt was, I remind him of what ever the project was he had to help his BFF with. He is starting to say NO!, some times

    Which is on the top of my list also. Mine has a new Nickname: "Webster" because when I say something that he feels he has to disagree with, he debates the "word" not the subject of the discussion! Oh, then there's the rephrasing of something I've just said as though I said something wrong, and when I mention that that's just what I said the response is..."I was agreeing with you!"
    I think he just does a lot of things because he knows it'll get me frustrated. ... 43 years and he's still alive! What am I doing wrong?

    :wink:

    Oh yes, driving issue! Mine knows I don't like it when he's driving what I consider too close. We are older and with the medication he takes for pain and other conditions, his reaction time is slower, although he doesn't think so, which isn't unusual since it comes on gradually so he didn't notice it. So he always gets "angry" when I start bracing myself. As I told him, I like reading bumper stickers, but I really don't need to know where it was printed!

    Nail hit on the head...

    Here's another one....

    How many times have you been asked a question you don't know the answer to and have replyed " I don't know."
    only to have the come back question be...."What do you mean?" (My answer to that one? What part of 'I .... don't....know' do you not understand?
    (I promise...last one....too funny!)

    My husband of 51 years does nearly all these things already mentioned, but there are two things which bug me most. He takes very large bites of food and finishes a meal in less than 5 minutes. The other thing is that he gets out his large pocket knife (about 4 to 5" long) and gives himself a manicure during church. He uses the largest blade to trim his cuticles, push them back and trim where ever needed. People around stare and I'm embarrassed. But he's a good man and I want to keep him as long as possible.
