A little light-hearted post to get all the ladies giggling
(and nodding their heads furiously!) Here are three things that ALL MEN DO
(except for my father, but he’s Swiss, so he’s less man and more efficiency
loving, money stingy half man half punctuality-cyborg)....
1)
Leaving coins EVERYWHERE! I don’t know why, but
men have an insatiable urge to litter their entire house with small bundles of
coins from their pockets. Every time they venture out of the house, they return
with a new pool of shiny metal that must- must dear God!- be placed in a
different location to all the other little stacks of silver that lie around the
house. To get a jar; a plate; a shoe, and place all their coins in there; a convenient
central location where they can then select coins from for that time when they
need $3.00 for a coffee and don’t want to break a note- somehow this concept is
incapable of being comprehended by the modern man...
On the
other hand, maybe this isn’t an affliction of all men... Just men until they
have school age children who start to steal their piles of coins from around
the house to buy zooper doopers and ovaltinees and all that other garbage from
school canteens. I bet dads become much more coin savvy very quickly!
2)
Have a collection of empty deodorant bottles.
Men, for some reason kept secret from women, must collect deodorant bottles and
store them away for some forthcoming apocalypse. Empty ones; not ones that are
actually of any use. But within this behaviour there are subtle differences
among men... these differences, I am sure, point to some crucial hierarchy come
Judgement Day, a hierarchy I am yet to figure out (but will). The hierarchy goes:
-
Men who keep their roll on deo in the bathroom
collect LESS empties (usually only one or two)
-
Men who keep their roll on in their bedroom
collect slightly more (three to four)
-
Men who use spray deodorant keep the most
empties – I once counted five empties and two half used at a shag’s house. Men
who use spray deodorant NEVER keep it in the bathroom, for reasons yet to be
determined. I’m convinced manufacturing of bombs out of the empty cans has
something to do with it.....
3)
I forgot the third thing I was going to say.
Please leave a comment and remind/inspire me. Women everywhere, let’s keep this
list growing of weird and wacky things that ALL MEN DO!
(Coming soon- guest post by a mate concerning three things
that ALL WOMEN do; just to be even :-) )
I have to comment on these:
ReplyDelete1: Ok, I do sort of do this. I don't litter the house but there are piles of change randomly scattered around my room. There is usually a jar or other central location likee you suggested, but it has been filled up long ago.
It's worse when you have had a big night out because you dont want to be drunkenly counting out piles of changes at the bar while the queue piles up behind you.
In men's defence, the only reason woment don't do this is because they have a multitued of handbags in which to store change.
2: Can't comment on this one. It may take me a few days or a week to throw out and empty roll-on but it never becomes a colletion.
Looking forward to the other-sided article, your blog is more partisan than the Australian (at least you don't claim to be a journalist)
