Why?

I’ll just have to accept the many things I don’t understand about my woman. I decided to start a list that I’ll call the “Universal Men’s Haven’t Got A Clue List”, or UMHGACL for short. You are expected to contribute to my list because no one person can produce it. Just add one experience to the list by way of a comment below. Have your friends do it. (I’ll probably need more server memory)

Why do I have all those decorative pillows on my bed? Five in total. We take them off the bed at night so we can get into it and, guess what, put them back on the bed the next morning.

Why do we need scatter cushions on seats? I can’t sit down without moving cushions out of the way.

Why is it that every flat surface is covered in pictures, plants, knick-knacks and other things I don’t even recognize? There is no place to put my stuff down.

Why is it that she applies her make-up before she works out? Doesn’t sweat mess things up?

How come her need for closet space expands as the kids leave home, culminating in her using every closet in the house, while the same small hole-in-the-wall closet meets my needs for the rest of my life?

Why doesn’t she let me apply the 3-second rule when I drop something on the floor?

Why does she spend money on the tanning booth when summer is right around the corner and it’s free?

Why does she love movies that make her cry?

Feel free to link to this page so you can monitor comments as they come in, and E-mail it to your friends. Now it’s your turn. Add a comment below and keep it clean! Make me laugh!

This is why I’m such a bad woman. I don’t do any of these things… well except the weepy movies.

Hi Kentishwoman. You must be special.

Why does the room need to be rearranged every month? I get all confused when I go into the room. And I start muttering to myself in some nonsensical language.

Why do drawer contents switch every now and then? To a creature of habit, that’s like doing a blood transfusion. Don’t make the Hulk angry.

Why does my wife clean the house before the cleaning lady comes to clean the house ?

Why do all wires and electronics need to be covered up by some sort of decorating motif? Are they that hideous?

Boy, I’m glad I’m not alone! But have you seen the length of HER list?
I was curious why so many divorce ads appear on her post.
