10 Things I Wonder About Men.

1 .I wonder why a man considers that handbags and shoes are fripperies, but that golf clubs and Sports Channels are essentials. 2. I wonder why when you ask a man to do something he says you're nagging, but if he asks you to do something it's 'just asking'? 3. I wonder why a man thinks the possession of the remote control is his exclusive right. Then when you gently prise it out of his hands when he falls asleep, he wakes and says indignantly ''I was watching that''! 4. I wonder why when a man loses something, he expects you to find it, and sometimes even accuses you of hiding it. 5. I wonder why a man is incapable of putting a new toilet roll on the holder. 6. I wonder why a man thinks it's always the woman's job to wrap the presents and send the cards. 7. I wonder why I'm not even going to mention the toilet seat thing. 8. I wonder why he doesn't realise that we won't think it's funny when he rolls home late for a meal, with a friend in tow, saying ''Put it on two plates''! 9. I wonder if I'll still be married if my fella reads this. 10. I wonder why I said I had 10 things I wonder about, but I only have 9. Oh come on guys, my tongue's in cheek, Do not on me your anger wreak, You know that when all's said and done That I'm just fooling, having fun. If any of you fellas feel like coming back at me with a list of your own - feel free!

You women are never satisfied. We buy you a washing machine, a cooker and an ironing board and you still want a share of our remote control.

@jaboUK Why would you be watching television anyway? Is there not enough vacuuming and ironing to keep you entertained?

@Asylum We should be so grateful, shouldn't we?? Perhaps we should have a remote control each, then when the man falls asleep we wouldn't run the risk of waking him when we want a different channel

@jabouk I just wonder why the toilet seat can't be left standing upright in its default position!

What a great list, I like them all. I alwasy wonder one more, when my husband says "we" are doing something, it is really me. Like he tells somebody on the phone "we" are putting the kids to bed, but "he" didn't get off the couch.

I wonder why when mom is sick she still has to cook, clean, and get the kids where they need to be and when a guy is sick it's the end of the world and they get to lay on the couch and moan and ask me for more orange juice lol.

Okay, Janet, let me take a stab at this... 1. I couldn't care less for golf clubs or a sports channel. 2. The difference is in the number of times a woman "asks" a man to do something versus the number of times a man asks a woman to do something. 3. That one is just funny! I don't watch tv, so have no clue, although I have seen it happen when at a friend's house! 4. Okay, fair enough, but you never met either one of my ex-wives, either! Either one of them might hide something and both of them did at one time or another, just because they thought it was funny to see me searching the spot it should have been over and over again! (They both KNEW I have a place for everything and I really prefer it to be placed in its spot when you are done with it!) 5. Who do you think does the household chores here? I can guarantee Pretty is too spoiled to do them! LMAO! 6. We don't do either one anymore! When it did happen here, that would be me, again! 7. Oops! Man's house here! Pretty puts her own seat down. We have neither small children or pets to worry about. I figure she can do that for herself! 8. Nope! That doesn't happen, either. I have to do the cooking, so don't like surprise guests, either! 9. Yes, you will, cause he loves you! And so do I, Dearheart! I do have one for you, though... 1. When we went shopping, why did my ex-wife expect me to hold her purse and coat while she rummaged through the shelves and bins? I didn't carry them into the store... (It only happened once with my first wife.) My second wife heard the story about what happened from Pretty, so never ask! Yes, it is a good story, if you don't remember it, ask. I'll tell you!

@jaboUK You are always welcome! Just trying to give as good as I get, Dearheart! You know me! @Drosophila What kind of recipe do you want, Wendy? Bread, hors-d'oeuvres, main dish or sides? LOL! When I divorced my first wife, Pretty and I spent a year trying out all kinds of recipes... when we found the best tasting one, I wrote it into a notebook. There are roughly 70 or 80 recipes in that book. We do have those quite often! Some are fancy and some are plain.

Wrapping presents and sending cards is Mrs. WorDazza's job because I really don't care about buying presents and sending cards. If she wants people to have presents and cards she knows she has to do it.

Im glad im single I dont need a woman to do anything, i do everything myself. with that list id suggest getting a divorce lawyer or maybe some training for your husband to become more self sufficient...PS golf really sucks...so do sports channels as for the toilet seat, just glue it down and stop moaning

Quite interesting list and it happens with many couples. It reminds me of an incident. A wife asked her hubby - had I not been there with you, who would have stitched broken buttons of your shirt? Hubby replied - Had you not been there, there was no need for me to wear the shirt.

I will talk about the tv remote thing. It's really difficult to watch programmes which women watch. But many of us never complain and happily pass remote and watch it with you, yeah occasionally. Also pointing at toilet and remote thing is not right, well others can be arguable.
