Rabbit, you have an excellent idea but I am thinking it would be like fighting the Battle of the Alamo again. The husband/gentlemen population on this message board is highly outnumbered.

Just implying that there may be some understanding of the female species would produce mixed results. You will get some who will smooch you, and then there are those who would be.....umm, how would you say it? Less agreeable?

Meme, lol!

When he runs out of clean socks, he buys more. That's priceless. Why wash the dishes? Just buy lots of paper plates. Pin all the plates on the wall, so you don't have to buy wall paper. And on the stucco roof, stick all your bottlecaps up there. Then you'll have a whole new look. Your underwear will stay clean twice as long if you turn it inside out and wear it again. Why shave when the hair will just grow back? Besides the gnats and birds who nest in there make good pets, and an emergency food supply is soaked up in there. BUUUUURP!

What an attitude! LOL! I love that people actually exist like this. I can't stop laughing.

I hate to admit it, but I'm the one who would definitely step over the sock as if it didn't exist. I do lots around the house, but my fiance is the neat freak. Do you know, that it takes him over an HOUR to clean the bathroom?!?! I swear he's in there with a toothbrush disinfecting every little nook & cranny!!!

I finally called him on his obsessive cleaning, and he admits that he takes it to the extreme, but that he likes things CLEAN rather than just neat & tidy (I'm more of the neat & tidy one)... however, I did explain to him that the bathroom should only take at most 1/2 an hour to clean - an hour and you're scrubbing the enamel off the tub, sink & toilet!!!

On purpose, to drive him crazy, I leave at least one pair of shoes in the living room at all times. There's usually 3 or 4 pairs of slip-on sandals at the front door when I get home. Well, my slippers, for some unknown reason are always in our bedroom, so I slip on one of the pairs of shoes at the door. At the end of the night, I leave them on the floor in the livingroom, and go to bed in my bare feet... However, after about 3 days have passed, there's at least three pairs of shoes sitting on the livingroom floor... It DRIVES HIM NUTS!!!! hee hee hee hee

I'm awful!

I once left an ice-cream bowl (that I believe was DH's) in the living room for two weeks (it did have a little icecream left in it.eeew) and I finally broke down and threw it out.

TVCH Gentlemen’s Club Responds


Dear Gentle ladies,

Many of you seem to have a complete misunderstanding of the events surrounding Abbynormal and the sock Abe. Some in fact have somehow concluded that the males of the Normal household were less than helpful or shirking their responsibilities.

Take heart ladies it is not as bad you seem to think, the responsibility for Abe laying on the floor for weeks, rests with Abby. You see the Normal males hold Abby’s decorating skills and household management in high esteem, yet they themselves readily admit they know nothing about modern decorating. If a sock is seen lying on the floor at Abby’s house for more than a day the men of Normal merely concluded it was a fashion statement that they simply don’t understand.

Today’s Gentlemen are easily confused as to what is acceptable as fashionable decorating and what is an Internet experiment. When grass is attached to walls and perfectly good ceiling fans are replaced with junkyard lighting fixtures, the Normal males just didn’t want to embarrass themselves by admitting that they didn’t know a sock on the floor was not a decorating statement.

LOL I just found this thread, I've seen it but never opened it because I didn't know what it was about. Haven't made it through all the messages, but I wanted to say that my girlfriend is probably messier than me. When the toilet paper is about to run out, I will put a new roll on the sink counter. I have walked into the bathroom many times to discover the empty tube still in the holder, and she has just simply started using the new roll where it is. One time I brought her into the bathroom and said I wanted to show her something. Without saying a word, I removed the empty tube and replaced it with the full roll on the counter and then said "tada!"

She told me I was an a$$!

ROFL! I would have told you that, too, Crazydog!

~high5 to your girlfriend~

Crazydog, RFLMAO!! Ditto to what Azriel said.

Let me tell you my theory, you tell me if I am correct. Your girlfriend does the bulk of the dishes, cooking, laundry, grocery shopping, etc. Not all of it, but the bulk. You pick on her one tidyness issue (the toilet paper). Am I right? :)

I have a cleaning/hubby issue which you all might find funny. PLEASE let me know if you can suggest a remedy because it's getting on my last nerve!!!!! Every morning my husband gets up at 5:30 to get ready for work. He makes the bed, then showers, dresses and leaves. Sounds great, right? You woman are all thinking, 'well geez, wish my hubby would do that'. The problem? I don't wake up until 7 and am still IN THE BED!!!!! He has a THING about dust getting on his pillow so he makes his half of the bed. Well, we have a very heavy, stiff comforter so there is no way to pull up one side without me either getting covered too or getting the cording cutting into my neck. It's driving me insane!!

Rissa: My only thought is to 'turn the table' ... just for the sake of this situation, YOU get up at 4:00 and go through the same routine for a couple of days ... make up a believable excuse for those few days, but do EVERYTHING he does ... see if he has anything to say about it...of course, you can take a nap after he's gone to make up for the early rise! :)

Crazydog Crazydog Crazydog..tsk tsk tsk..

How can you be so unsympathetic towards your girlfriend? Don't you know she suffers from "Wet-Buttitis"?

Don't know what Wet-Buttitis is? Let me explain it to you. Some unforgiving male in her life has <gasp> left the toliet seat up in which she was victim of cold water on her buttocks. Now, when cold water hit her buttocks there was a trigger that caused a synapsis in her brain frying the "toliet paper hang up roll" brain cell. It's totally irreversable damage.

So in the future to show your love towards your girlfriend, take the responsiblity to hang up the roll and always always always put the seat down, because I think the cell right next to the "toliet paper hang up roll" is the "remember to make love to my boyfriend" cell..and you wouldn't want THAT one to be fried would you?

I just finally opened this thread today and I've had a wonderful time reading every post. Wish I'd been here as the drama unfolded!

Edited to add: I'm not going to go through the thread again to see, but did someone say something that put the song "Will the circle be unbroken" into my head?

The real bummer is nobody now will care about MY sock... cause it's just my sock in my room and nobody will care about how many years it might take for me to pick it up.

I bought new socks... two packs... as a matter of fact... because I couldn't find a matching pair of socks around here.

My one grey sock has been sittin there well prolly since the week BB started... and I really only think about that sock when I read this thread and I think ok I'll pick it up everytime I read this thread.. but now that I posted to the thread that sock is friggen making me feel more guilty.

How can a friggen sock make you feel guilt? That's what I'd like to know.

I'm laying here comfy under the covers it's about 50 degrees in my house cause I haven't turned the heat on yet.. and I'm thinking I'll go pick it up but ya know what? I'm not getting up.

I think I'll just find the match (ya right in this house??) and toss the match down with it so it won't be alone...

The jist of this thread to me is "God created man becaise vibrators can't mow lawns"... but you know we have ride on .... (no not vibes!!) mowers.. these days so do we really need men? LOL.

This is all so funny....and so true...
sometimes I keep picking everything up and putting everything away (like hanging the toilet paper) and sometimes I go on strike....don't do anything for a whole week.....and neither hubby or son notices....they just use the toilet paper from where it is....and pick up all the socks when they run out and go to do a load of laundry.....guess I'm lucky....they do the laundry. Oh well, just shut my eyes sometimes.LOL
