shame on the woman, most of that stuff should have been recycled!

I do the same thing when my husband won’t take out the trash. Except I throw it on the floor. No pretty trash stacks at my house. He catches on pretty quick too.

That’s modern art, right there.

I’m getting irritated with the guy who says If you see something needs to be done, just do it! That poster can come to my house and see things that need to be done… my husband sure doesn’t as I left him a similar pile today placed more effectively on his computer chair (not the first time either). Worse yet, the reason I ask him to take it out daily is b/c we have a baby and there are diapers in there – ick!

Men wonder why women nag them… Personally, I hate nagging – it’s not fair or fun to the nagger either.

> does that mean that any messy women are lesbians?

Judging by the sounds that came out of my messiest ever housemate and her b/f, I’d guess not.

#212 morpho aurora, Yikes! You’d better be careful, it sounds like your husband is gay, according to Jaquelyn.

I’m still not sure how being ‘spotless’ equates being gay, though I think Andy’s situation is a bit more stereotypically correct.

So, by your standards, does that mean that any messy women are lesbians?

When I first got married, my wife and I were both uni-going slobs (eg, we washed dishes once a week on average). Five years on, I have borderline OCD and my wife is somewhere in between. But I take the opinion that if I want things super-clean, that’s my perogative so I do the extra cleaning and don’t ‘nag’ anyone else to.

The ‘men are messy women are tidy’ generalisation couldn’t be more wrong in my experience. The guys I have lived with have at least kept the house clean enough to not be a health risk, whereas the messiest, slobbiest people I’ve lived with (I’m talking mouldy plates behind the couch, bathroom cleaned once in 12 months) have both been women.

My stepdaughter kept refusing to do the dishes because she was more concerned with going out with her friends. After two days of telling her to do it, I finally put all of the dirty dishes on her bed while she was out with her pot-smoking friends. She got the hint.

Hell, my apartment was a shit hole (in retrospect), that’s one of the reasons I was attracted to my wife, she kept things woman-clean and I was used to man-clean.
There is a little bit of Felix Unger in some guys that seems a bit “sweet”.

Considering my “apartment” was a Marine Corps barracks, yes, it was very clean!

that pic makes me glad i was married to someone with OCD. he kept everything very neat and clean. and if he pissed me off, i just rearranged his CDs, and moved stuff around on his desk.
