The most irritating things about men....

Kotick

* Flirting, everyone does it, even us gals when we're in a relationship. Problem is, I don't want to know that they flirt. I know that they do, but to say that you do really gets to me. If you don't do anything with them, then I don't want to know about it.

* Listening. I don't care if you don't care about what I have to say. I don't care about what you have to say either but I still listen, why can't you? Don't tell me to find some female to jabber about my problems with, you sit down, shut up and listen and respond for fecks sake.

* Keep your farts to yourself. Yes everyone does it, but when you feel one coming, you force it out right there and then and then give some childish remark afterwards. I'm not amused by fart jokes.

* DON'T talk about other women just because your buddies are there too. Hey, I'm also here. You shut your mouth! It's disrespectful.

it is permissible.

02: It is ok for a man to cry under the following circumstances: a.
When a heroic dog dies to save its master. b. The moment Angelina Jolie

05: If you've known a bloke for more than 24 hours, his sister is

06: Moaning about the brand of free beer in a mate's fridge is
forbidden. However, complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

07: No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for
another man. In fact, even remembering your mate's birthday is strictly
optional.

08: On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not
the weakest.

09: When stumbling upon other blokes watching a sporting event, you
may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's
playing.

10: You may flatulate in front of a woman only after you have
brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the
purpose of flatulent entertainment, she's officially your
girlfriend.

11: It is permissible to quaff a fruity alcopop drink only when
you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless
supermodel...and it's free.

12: Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you
allowed to kick another bloke in the nuts.

13: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.

14: Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. EVER. Issue closed.

15: If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see
anything.

16: Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as
spies Until they demonstrate knowledge of the game (can explain offside or
LBW) and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.

17: A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.

18: Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of
pizza, but not both that's just greedy.

19: If you compliment a bloke on his six-pack, you'd better be
talking about his choice of beer.

20: Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a mate of
yours, except if she's withholding sex pending your response.

weights: a Yeah, Baby, Push it! b.C'mon, give me one more! Harder! c.
Another set and we can hit the showers!

22: Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal
footing: I.e. Both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other
situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the
conversation you need.

23: Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on
longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the
phone. Hang up if necessary.

24: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a
friend" have carnal drunken sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and
guilty is no reason for you not to nail each other again before the
discussion occurs about what a big mistake it was.

25: It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable
for her to drive yours.

26: Thou shalt not buy a car in the colours of brown, pink, lime
green, orange or sky blue.

27: The girl who replies to the question "What do you want for
Christmas?" with "If you loved me, you'd know what I want!" gets an
XBox. End of story.

28: There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's
Gymnastics. Ever.

29. If a woman comes to you with a problem, she should expect you to try solve it.

30. Pink is NEVER an acceptable shirt color.

31. When entering a bathroom, we deal with the toilet seat which ever way we see fit, you should do the same. If the seat's up put it down, we have to do the reverse after you remember.

All women should take into account rule 29. this one drives me nuts when you complain about something and then get in a huff when we try fix it.

Hmm, after reading this thread I feel quite lucky. My OH nearly always puts the toilet seat down (and if he doesn't I just close it myself), he doesn't pee everywhere and he likes the kitchen to be really clean! I think he's a keeper!

What does annoy me (and I know I'm not the only woman who finds this annoying about her fella) is his complete inability to remember things. By this, I don't mean remember to collect things or do something (although he does do this and then blames me because "I should have reminded him"), it's his complete inability to remember that we or someone else have already discussed something. The conversation goes like this:

Him: "so should we go and see that play next Friday"
Me: We already discussed this
Him: did we?
Me: Yes, you asked me the very same question, then I said we can't go because we're going to that party and then you said that you didn't want to go to the party and that we'd make an excuse and go to the play - we also said we'd go to x restaurant for dinner. We had a 10 minute conversation about it.
Him: did we? I do't remember that at all

It's the same with his friends. We were at friends house for drinks and him and his mate were having a conversation about something. Both me and his friends gf pointed out that they'd had the exact same conversation and said the exact same thing last week. Neither of them could remember. We figured they just had the same conversations whenever they met and never run out of things to say to each other because they can't remember they've already talked about it!

It does work in my advantage sometimes because I can tell him that he agreed to something an he trusts me ad presumes that he just doesn't remember!

are you goin out with my fella cause it sounds just like him

I'm a man and I even find that annoying about my brother. He often tells me information that it turns out he heard from me, or he claims he just found it out even though I had told him ages ago.

aye
