You should hide your chocolate in the laundry basket - men would never look in there

[sandy]

Troubl is I have a good memory and know where I hide things, that is unless something drops down the back of the cupboard, all that is there today is buiscuits!!!!! Me and my OH were looking at all the single Malts in a shop enviously and darn't buy an as onc we have one we want the lot so I thought about giving the bottle to my neighbour to look after.......Now I hate to stereotype but men carn't usualy find anything without help!!!!

    I agree with that last line - but Joe wouldn't

He's always losing his keys, wallet, mobile phone - and always insists I have moved it

Then finds it in his trouser pocket, coat, or the car

Never apologises though - just moves on...  until he loses something the next day

[sandy]

Now own up! how many  men ask thier partner where things are...ALL the time? you have to be precise with men, not just "in the draw! but " white set of draws, third draw down, under the rest of the rubbish in the draw!" We both went to collect eggs on Saturday, I have a small dog lead to tie up the gate to the chickens as it sometimes swings open, my OH opened it, then, on the way out, asked me where it was!!!! We nearly had a major fall out on Saturday as he also said I had told him I had the keys to the cash  box, I had not said that at all as I had not used the cash time and I have my own key (hidden) I added he had put the last lot of money into the box, he went quiet and grumbled that I put things away all the time (I do but in the correct place) he returned and said nothing, I asked if he had found the keys and of course, they were in his coat pocket. I bet men who live on thier own know where everything is?

thats right Sandy, when my OH cant find something and then I go look and find the ''missing'' article he says ' you must have just put it there as I looked under that pile of clothes'....

[sausagesandcash]

We KNOW you guys hid these things....just admit it! Tell the truth and shame the Devil...or as we say here de divil.

are you familiar with the term 'a man's look'

[sandy]

I have been out shopping with my Ex, my OH and my son in law and when they go into a shop, they always ask someone where things are, eg, go into  a DIY shop such as FOcus and ask "wheres the paint" doh!!!! maybe us females like to look around first anyway. My dad never shopped but took me to buy my wedding dress, we only went in the first shop we came to so I compromised. I am told my son in law dose lov shopping and will trail around but..how unusal?

are you familiar with the term 'a man's look'

Is that similar to 'man flu'? 

I was in the Pound Shop the other day and a man asked how much something cost.............. duh!

Both of my late husbands used to think I hid their things deliberately - now, I ask you - would I do that??

[sandy]

Mine thinks I steal his socks as he has loads of single socks instead of pairs, funny thing is, a lot of lost property I find are single socks.....maybe they should have a long peice of elastic, long enough so they can run, sewn into them so they never get seperated.

[lara]

when I was young my mum used to get a long piece of elastic and sew my gloves on , one at each end and thread through my coat sleeves so I didnt lose them.. .. Yes we should seriously consider doing this with mens sock threading them through trouser legs .... then they'll have no excuses.

[doganjo]

Could be painful though

[lara]

would that be manpain?
