I just don't understand (and I'm not trying to generalize - just take what I've read in this thread and witnessed on my own) why so many men seem to not be able to grasp the concept of washing and drying clothes.

It's all an act. Men are smart enough to know that if you act like you don't know how, and mess it up once, the wife won't ask you to do it again.

Yeah, but mine was an actual mess up :shifty eyes:

Gawd - this one still makes me feel bad:
We were moving out of our last place and there was a nail in the wall for a painting. It had been heavy so I put the nail into the stud but it had bent down slightly from the weight. My wife asked me to get it out since she couldn't. I grab the hammer and start to pry it out. Well, it gave way suddenly and my arm flew backwards - right into the face of my wife who was standing behind me

She had a slight shiner for a couple of days from my elbow. She was ok and kid me about it a lot (apparently the ladies she worked with were concerned that I might be beating her and she joked that if I didn't behave she would tell them I did)

I'd joke back that she'd better do the dishes or there would be another 'nail stuck in the wall'

Ah....good times (It was over 2 years ago and I still bad about it)

One night the GF at the time insisted that we switch sides of the bed. I pick a side of the bed and stick with it, but she insisted that we switch sides. When the alarm went off the next morning (on her side of the bed), I reached over to turn it off and in doing so planted an elbow right into her eye socket. There was even a sickly squishing sound. Being half asleep, I totally freaked out.... This ended in me taking her to an optomotrist to get checked out. No harm though, fortunately.

A different GF got socked pretty good in the nose, with the same elbow...

I'm just a big, clumsy guy.

To be fair, I've banned her from running the dishwasher because she absolutely sucks at stacking dishes (places them the wrong way and all that).

I get yelled at for not stacking the dish washer correctly. I jsut jam things in there and wash it as soon as it looks full. Apparently I waste a lot of space....
But the dishes get cleaned.

i'm with u on this Uppsala.

i'm a space waster too apparently. :laugh::laugh: one particular ex-BF was irked about how i loaded the dish washer. granted, he did an amazing job loading it, but i don't particularly care if all the plates are lined up or every available space is used, i'm waaay more concerned if everything comes out clean. we ran it at least twice a week, and it's not like there was always a huge amount of dishes from just us two. i guess it's one of those things where i can look back and think thank gawd that relationship didn't last.

Sure I have one.

When my wife worked for Goodwill Industries there was one time when the company was going to have a quick snippet in the local TV news regarding some silly function.

My wife was at work when it aired, so she asked me to record it on our VCR, which I did. After the news segement was done, I decided "I needsome time alone, to think some problems out" and used some visual stimulation. I left my pr0n tape in the VCR upon completion.

The next day my wife grabbed the tape in the VCR, brought it to work, and handed the tape over to her boss who was the VP of the local organization at the time.

Later in the day, she asked for the tape back and asked: "How was it?"

"Ummm.... interesting " he replied in a very nonchalant way.
My wife goes to her office to view it, and upon firing the tape up realizes what exactly was on the tape. I get a call, and a 30 minute diatribe about what her image at the company was now.

hahahaha awesome!

Me: "Whoops, wrong hole, sorry"

But seriously, one time I asked my girlfriend if she remembered when we saw Kung-Fu Hustle together. Unfortunately, I saw that movie with my ex-girlfriend, who my girlfriend hates with a passion. She was pissed and didn't talk to me for a good hour or so.

theres a vid/gif of this in action out there, pops out, pops back in the wrong place, you can see her reaction of pure pain, leg twitches and everything

its pretty funny

I'm going to need a PM.

Google wrong hole. It's like one of the first hits.

As I said in the reply to the awesome member who PM'ed me, must think before just doing while at work.

lol yea thats it

That wasn't really funny, it sounded really painful.

The funniest part is at the end:

"You wanna walk it off?"

LOL!!!
