NICKNAMES: If Gloria, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle go out for lunch, they will call each other Gloria, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle. But if Mike, Phil, Rob and Jack go out for a brewsky, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Useless.
EATING OUT: And when the check comes, Mike, Phil, Rob and Jack will each throw in $20 bills, even though it's only for $22.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their check, out come the pocket calculators.
BATHROOMS: A man has six items in his bathroom-a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of Dial soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.
GROCERIES: A woman makes a list of things she needs and then goes out to the store and buys these things. A man waits till the only items left in his fridge are half a lime and a soda. Then he goes grocery shopping. He buys everything that looks good. By the time a man reaches the checkout counter, his cart is packed tighter than the Clampett's car on Beverly Hillbillies. Of course, this will not stop him from going to the 10-items-or-less lane.
SHOES: When preparing for work, a woman will put on a Mondi wool suit, then slip on Reebok sneakers. She will carry her dress shoes in a plastic bag from Saks. When a woman gets to work, she will put on her dress shoes. Five minutes later, she will kick them off because her feet are under the desk. A man will wear the same pair of shoes all day.
CATS: Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.
DRESSING UP: A woman will dress up to: go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, get the mail. A man will dress up for: weddings, funerals.
LAUNDRY: Women do laundry every couple of days. A man will wear every article of clothing he owns, including his surgical pants that were hip about eight years ago, before he will do his laundry. When he is finally out of clothes, he will wear a dirty sweatshirt inside out, rent a U-Haul and take his mountain of clothes to the Laundromat. Men always expect to meet beautiful women at the Laundromat. This is a myth perpetuated by re-runs of old episodes of "Love, American Style."
OFFSPRING: Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and soccer games and romances and best friends and favorite foods and secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
LOL! I'm betting you smiled and agreed with at least two of these comparisons!!! Hope you're enjoying your day!!!
NICKNAMES: I nickname my friends all the time, from shortening their name, to just giving them a pet name.
ReplyDeleteEATING OUT: Yes, I am guilty of using a calculator while eating out. I carry two in my purse; a portable one in my wallet and one in my cell-phone.
BATHROOMS: I only leave shampoo in the bathroom, everything else I take to my room. It's proven that using the toilet and then flushing gives off emmissions of ecoli and other germs that then fall on people's exposed toothbrush, etc. Plus the bathroom is a warm-damp area which is so bad for makeup and lotions. I own a brush sanitizer that kills the germs on my brush-head with ultra-violet light. LOL!
GROCERIES: I don't go grocery shopping, my husband does, b/c he's the one that cooks.
SHOES: I actually own a plastic tote from Bloomingdales, which I use to carry my shoes.
CATS: Cats suck, they are picky, moody, they shed too much hair, and their kitty litter is horrifically stinky. Only hairless cats are cool, but they are rare and very expensive.
ReplyDeleteDRESSING UP: I only dress up if I’m going out. If I’m staying home, I’m totally wearing my pajamas.
LAUNDRY: I do laundry whenever my husband does laundry. It is true, men do wait until they have no underwear or socks left to wear, but I have so many clothes that I can literally go months without washing clothes, but when I do wash, I’m meticulous about everything, and I separate my laundry into several loads according to color and fabric, while my husband just dumps all his clothes into one load, lol! ...

OFFSPRING: I don’t have kids, we own a parrot, but my husband babies that parrot to death and I am very indifferent with that bird. LOL!
very funny post. i'm guilty of a few of those things myself.
