I Sent The Man To The Store, With A List!

[Jeanway 0]

With a List! What is wrong with men anyway? I wrote it ALL down, Carefree Maxi Pads, he brings home Brillo pads :) I wrote down Hot Dogs, he brings home, a 5 pound bag of Dog Kibble, we don't even OWN a dog??? :( I asked for a simple gallon of 2% milk, what did he bring home? He said he wanted to make sure he got the right one, so he got, 1%, whole, skim, goat's, milk bath and Magnesia. Every thing BUT what I wrote down! :( Man oh Man. I wish men came with an Owner's Manual :)

ROTLOL!!! I'm sorry, I know it must seem frustrating for you, but I couldn't help but laugh at your predicament and yes, men are extremely unpredictable at times.

I need an Owner's Manual, or just a How-To-Survive-You manual when it comes to anyone, not just guys even! I find it hard to believe that this could happen. I suppose if you want something done right, do it yourself, though that is still... illogical.

Hey we may not be the smartest .but we do know when to run. like we know when you want to fight with us. You ask us Questions that have no right answers.

 

You tell us how to dress. Then ask do I look good in this?

 

Or do I look Fat in this. no win

 

Is my hair ok?

 

Hows my makeup?

 

You ask questions like this say on a friday guys want to say sorry late for work even though we don't have to be there till monday

Meh. I don't really get women either.

[Jeanway 0]

AAHHH, your all in this together, aren't you???

Maybe it was just a subtle hint asking you to get off your butt and do the shopping.

*gloats* Robert does all the grocery shopping and when it get's to "that time of the month" he knows exactly what to buy and always comes home with a bottle of Midol and chocolate too. My man is gooooood.

Jeanway,

RC has the right idea. It is not "men in general". You obviously have the wrong man.

And you think this is something NEW to me? :o I just have the gift. Sorry Fen, I didn't mean to imply anything here, but you ARE teachable :o

[Tina 0]

I agree with RC

 

Some men are better at the shopping than women..(speaking of myself included)

 

You need chicken and veggies for dinner lets say

 

They buy half the store but FORGOT to buy the Chicken and the veggies

 

I'm not eeven going to mention clothes shopping

Here's my theory, and it's JUST A THEORY:

 

I think it's evolutionary. Men are hunters. When we go to the store, we don't just shop for milk, bread, and cheese. We HUNT for it! We also

shoot anything else that gets in the way! Then we get home and display our prizes in an effort to establish ourselves as the "alpha male" so we can attract a suitable mate. That's also why many men hate shopping. While women don't mind browsing around for a sweater, shoes, or whatever, men can't stand the idea of just standing there with all this "prey" in plain sight. In the backs of our minds, we're frantically thinking, "Take the shot! It's going to get away! Kill it! Kill it now!"

 

Try this observation. Go to the store and watch the shoppers. I've noticed that men typically walk faster, make beelines, and pick up the first thing they find. Sometimes they don't even use carts. They just load up their arms and race for the checkout. Women, on the other hand are a bit more considerate. They look for the best fruits, take their time, and have a few manners. Am I right?

EXCUSES, EXCUSES. I tackled him later and as I had him on the floor in a choke hold, I got the truth out of him. He said he does stuff badly on purpose so I won't ask him again Talk about " Faking IT" New definition Ladies.

Yes, we do that too. However, we ARE also bad shoppers. We don't really have to TRY to shop badly. We know we'll have to sleep on the couch for it, but we actually don't mind. It's like camping!

I'm not sure. (I haven't bought any of those items since high school.) Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we have a visual image in our heads of what we need. Getting back to the "hunting" theory, we have our "sights" set on that.

Of course, that doesn't explain how we can screw up when we have a list.....

...... unless we don't read the list!

I don't know if men need an owner's manual. We're pretty simple to understand (not stupid, but easy to understand). We pretty much spend 90% of our time thinking about one of two things. If you know what those two things are, then you've got us figured out!

1. Twinkies

 

2. Mountain Dew

when you grow up, you become dumb

 

 

I can go o a grocery store and pick up everything my mom says to pick up in 5-10 minutes. All the groceries are perfect in paper like my mom asks for. On the other hand, my dad bags the wrong groceries in plastic and he takes 45 minutes!!!

:( Jeanway if this the worst he's done, your lucky. My husband brought home a son. As you may or may not know I married a man I knew nothing about on a dare. (It's was on the Stupidest things you ever done post.) Anyway, I heard a knock on the door to our apartment one day and found a little boy waiting at the door. At that point I met my husband's ex-wife, she said her current husband didn't want the boy and handed me his clothes in a trash bag. She had arranged to drop the boy off earlier with my husband Daniel but Dan failed to mention the delivery of a child to me.

 

So Jeanway are you going to adopt a dog or just feed the dog food to this clueless man. I don't even know what to say about the brillo pads but please don't consider using them as you planned to do with the other pads requested

[Jeanway 0]

OH MY BC, that is, well, kind of in a whole different league, isin't it :( But, no I don't think I have that kind of thing to worry about, but then again, you never know, do you? :lol: I think I'll go have a talk with Mr. Mountain Dew :( HEY Fen, Come here! :lol: Quit Runnin!

The problem is that my father is native Chinese and must eat at a Chinese restaurant...
