HA! I knew you couldn't resist. Guys, this is NOT the "Why are women so weird" thread so don't even go there. If you want a thread to cluck about us, go start one.

This spousal unit of mine is too strange for words. The more I lose, the weirder he gets. He's off work temporarily. I figured he'd finally finish the tile job from 3 years ago. He didn't have time though because he was busy diamond-plating his workbench. Yes, you read that right. (Diamond plate is expensive shiny metal sheet stuff for backs of trailers n' junk.)

I recently needed his help out back, but he insisted he was too busy tied up on a project in the garage. Our house needs painted, the lawn is a mess, but we have plenty of nickels on a stick. Yes, you heard that right. The important project that kept him from fixing the pool pump was making nickels on a stick, only he get really pissed that I call them that. What? Oh, he was welding an Indian head nickel to a large nail. This way you kinda have a huge thumbtack to use for important stuff. I don't know what could be so important, but we've got nickels on a stick now.

Last night I ordered two whole pizzas for us. I had 1.5 pieces and planned on another 1.5 pieces tonight but there was only one piece left. It really pissed him off that I ate "his" last piece of pizza. Did I mention I (ME) was the one that ordered the two pizzas, and I was the one that picked them up, because I was the one that had a hankering?

How weird is your man?

Guys, here's your chance to defend yourselves by explaining the need for nickels on a stick.

Alexandra, your guy sounds just like my mom's guy, lol. Lucky ladies!

My guy fortunately doesn't like sports. He doesn't know how to change a roll of toilet paper, and requires much praise if he does the dishes, or cooks.

I just love it when he gets in a mood and decides to gripe at me about the mess near my computer desk (right AFTER he's cleaned up his), when the sink is empty of dishes, the counters are clean and dinner is cooking.

Fortunately we enjoy the same video games and we are both computer geeks. We don't hardly argue, so there's not THAT much to complain about.

I'd leave a man over that.

AMEN!!!!

The VERY FIRST time it happened, he'd be outta here!!

Do any of you have a man that changes the light bulb? When I go into the bathroom, I can't even see the empty toilet paper roll on the floor in the dark.

((sigh)) Dare we start a conversation about the Super Bowl quirks? Alas, the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl, so the crazy, wonky, wacky, willy, wildness is all over the house. I swear I think he has lost his damn mind.

lol glad I'm not the only one with pet peaves lol

How about dirty clothes 3 feet in FRONT of the hamper. Even tried leaving the hamper open..nope didn't work. they'd stay on the floor for days if I didn't move em. Believe me I watched lol

Or socks on your coffee table or an end table full of last nights snack remains? A kitchen table that is a catch all for computers, computer parts, worn baseball caps and 3 coats each on it's own chair back lol. Oh what fun.

But...he's loving, holds my hand when we walk, cooks the main course of our meals....sooooo needless to say I complain but I clean it up

BWAHAAHAHAAA!!! to the fainting goats video!! ROTFLMAO!

:faint2:

We men are so weird as a result of the maladaptive behavior we employ to accomodate all the needs, wants and desires of our wive's as a means of creating a harmonious familial relationship.

That's my theory. Sure glad she puts up with me, though!

Here, here, Brad....and as I have been reminded by more than one of the good ladies here at LBT, just remember the words, "Yes Dear".

Ok, one weird thing is my boyfriend has this weird obsession bordering on obssessive compulsive disorder with germs/dirt.

He swears he smells rotten dog piss 24/7 in our living room from some previous owners who let their dog go to the bathroom near the front door. Now I'll give him that if you sit on the particular part of the carpet or put your nose down near it you can get a whiff of it, but he swears its the only thing he smells 24/7 sitting 10 feet across the room even after we professionally shampooed the carpet 3 times and paid extra attention to that area.

He was checking my feet quite often for dirt when we first moved in our new place w/ new carpet. I have a pair of slip on sandals by the garage door that I have to wear if I need to go out to the garage or dare face a foot inspection upon re-entering the house. Yes he's actually made me go wash my feet if they were even slightly dirty! He's one of those people who even has a sign posted on the front door to take off your shoes when you come in.

We have separate bathrooms, but yet he will still make comments about the cluster fu*k I have on my bathroom sink of all the items I use daily and he'll know if my toilet needs clean before I do - I just tell him if he doesn't like it then don't go in my bathroom! He has his own - he says he just doesn't understand why I have to be like that - I don't understand why he has to be like that!

And the grand daddy of them all - he became friends with a neighbor down the street who were lets say - well they were dirty people - literally. I guess they became better friends and he had invited Jon into his house. Apparently the house was sooo disgusting that poor Jon came home convinced the neighbor had given him LICE. He was itching and scratching his whole body for DAYS and no matter how much I looked in his hair, body etc. I could not convice him otherwise. Also the neighbor & his kids had all shaved heads so this only added to Jon's paranoia. This went on until I brought home a at home lice kit to take care of everything and only then after he did the lice treatment did he calm down. Least to say he never went to the neighbors house again and I never had any symptoms.

But he is a good man who keeps my house clean so I can't complain since I don't have to do it, I just have to put up with his OCD over it! Sometimes I just want to slap him!

Candy - HOW FUNNY!!!

I really cant laugh tooo loud, cause it takes one OCD to understand another one. :puke:

.....just wondering, what brand of lice teatment did he buy?

:help: Lisa,

I just told my husband about the nickel on a stick thumbtack--he thinks its a great idea (figures). Now about that picture.....I bet I will have a nice collection of these now too!!!!!

My husband also is weird about bread--must have SaraLee cinnamon raisin every morning and there has to be two loaves available AT ALL TIMES! Makes me nuts!

Well I bet I'm the only one with a husband who has tried sleeping upside down in bed because he's worried about the electricity meter box on the outside wall behind the bedroom giving him a brain tumor!

Obsessive...Raisin...Brain tumor...

I thank you ladies for finding men that make me feel completely sane.

Oh. Nickel on a stick. Does he do any others? A 50c piece on a six inch roof nail perhaps? I have been giving it some considerable thought and I think these sound like a fine investment in time (and obviously money).

Perhaps you should consider buying the domain name: nickelonastick.com

Jacqui, that is hilarious. Ok, will someone tell me if I am a horrible wife? My husband was hinting at how he was sending me flowers on Valentine's Day. First of all it is annoying that he can't just surpirse me, but next he wants to make sure I will be at work this week. I tell him yes, but Valentine's Day is next week. He knew this but insisted that I get them ahead of time since that way I can "appreciate them longer." I tell him that everyone at work will know he is a cheap ars for sending them early since everyone knows that they are cheaper even the day before Valentine's Day. Men just don't get it, we love getting flowers on Valentine's Day so we can show off at work and say just how wonderful out husbands are, not how cheap they are sending them the week before. I am such a horrible wife I should just be happy I am getting flowers, but I bitch about him sending those ones that come in the box that I have to cut the bottoms off and arrange myself. Men HEAR THIS... That is why you pay a florist more so they can do that part for you and you see the flowers walking through the office to you...also I hate red roses, I have sweetly told him all of the other flowers and roses I love, but every time he sends them I get the red roses, in a box. God I love my man!

My DH makes this really strange noise in his throat that sounds like a pig rooting around. IT it SO annoying. He even does it in his sleep!!!
