or are all men incapable of searching for something in the house without making a complete and utter drama of it. Of course, it's all my fault and I've put it somewhere and the easiest way to find it is obviously to throw things, breaking them if possible, shout and pull the house apart. You men are a pain in the arse 👿
Racist
So it is your fault it's missing?
Why aren't you looking for it?
Why didn't you put it back where it belongs?
Bloody wimmin!
I do that and i live alone!!! 😆
No i don't really, i just get annoyed at myself!
everything in its place and a place for everything!
How many bloody times do I have to tell you?!
I actually applied a level, calm head and found the item in question within 3 minutes after 30 minutes of his 'searching'. It was in exactly the place HE put it.
i bet you "tidied" it, he knew exactly where it was before you put it away didn't he?

Rubbish, you found it under the sofa where you left it and then planted it somewhere obvious in order to be right. Snakes, the lot of them
[i]You men are a pain in the arse[/i]
God yeah. and what's with the picking your nose, farting, picking you ears stuff, it's vile, OK?
stealth tidying is the culprit, it may look like an unordered pile of bicycle equipment but it perfectly ordered using the a very technical system 😀
Crikey! Stop shouting at me, I should have known you would all stick together!!!!! you are all the same. I didn't tidy it away then place it somewhere obvious although that is a good idea! Oh and Emsz, I fart - quite a lot really. Sorry 🙁
You men are a pain in the arse
Only on my birthday and special occasions
God yeah. and what's with the picking your nose, farting, picking you ears stuff, it's vile, OK?
It's preening.
It would appear that it isn't just your other half. My wife's other half, and her mothers other half would also seem to suffer from this affliction 🙂
"looking for things with men's eyes" as my wife just put it...
You men are a pain in the arse
Only if we're doing it wrong....
I just thought, is that why you've always got your hands on your balls? afraid you'll loose them? 😆
It is MrsT that has that problem in our house 🙄 I tend to do most of the tidying being a shift worker 😆
Captain and Ravey that is just plain rude chaps. Special occasions only indeed 😯
what's with the picking your nose, farting, picking you ears stuff
So you leave the bogies up your nose, the gas up your arse, and the wax in your ears ? ......grim 😐
Guilty as charged! 😳
Not while I'm sitting on the sofa Ernie!!
Edited. none of my business.
Only if we're doing it wrong, emsz.....
🙂
Nice one RaveyDavey
Made me smile
PICKING UP ALL MY STUFF AND THROWING IT ONTO THE BEDROOM FLOOR BECAUSE YOUR ****ING MOTHER IS COMING ROUND WHILST YOU HAVE 90% OF THE WARDROBE SPACE IS NOT TIDYING AND WHEN ITS A REBUILD KIT YOU'VE STUFFED SOMEWHERE FOR A PAIR OF PEDALS THAT I NEED TO FIX FOR TOMORROW IT'S GOING TO REALLY PISS ME RIGHT OFF SO YOU'D BETTER REMEMBER WHERE YOU SAW IT LAST OR THERE'LL BE TROUBLE, I MIGHT SULK OR SOMETHING
love you x
*Shakes head at the weird blokes*
weird, you're all weird .
But we can all type one handed....
I'll wander around the house, calmly pulling everything out of cupboards/boxes and generally making the place a bit of a state, whilst I'm looking for stuff.
No shouting/throwing though.
It does drive my girlfriend a bit insane that when asked I'm looking for "stuff" or "a thingy", though.
You know, when men are looking for stuff, they tend to look for the name of the thing. e.g. looking in the fridge for a container which says 'butter' rather than looking for the colours and shape of the container, so if the name is obscured, they can really struggle.
Basically, men look for the name, women look for the thing
What a load of rubbish CharlieMungus. I look where the desired object should be located. My other half on the other hand, searches all locations, since any object could conceivably be anywhere... 😡
It's not the farting that I struggle to understand, everyone does it - it's the sheer pride in the result...
Rachel
To the females posting here: what are you doing posting on here when there is tidying up to do? Get back to it! :p
Hey CharlieMungus - is that just your own observation or something you've read? It sounds kinda interesting and seems to make sense...
To the cheeky males on here - I've been painting all night - tidying can piggin' wait!!!!
Rachel
I've heard and my own observation and resonates with other folks
Tends to be the opposite in our house...she goes on a rant and throwing spree...my stuff is easy to find - it's all on the floor where I threw it a few days earlier...dead easy to find there!
If you leave it on the floor long enough it gets washed and put away....
😉
Rachel, it's not just the farting, but it's just the fascination they all seem to have with bits of themselves. bogies are studied like gems, earwax sniffed, and Oh My Gosh, how much do you have to scratch your bollox?
Emsz what did you say young lady?!
Must admit, I don't take pride in my farts, not unless they are really, seriously loud and then it's not really pride, more shock to be honest.
Charliemungus - he wasn't looking for something that had a label so clearly was stuffed from the get go?
Oh My Gosh, how much do you have to scratch your bollox?
Guess what I was absent-mindedly doing just as I read that? 😳
😆
[i]Emsz what did you say young lady?[/i]
oh, nothing juicy, just realised I was being a bit judgmental is all.
Well, not that often, emsz????? 😯
(I'm sure you didn't mean to change narrative mode half way through that paragraph...)

To the cheeky males on here - I've been [b]painting my nails[/b] all night - tidying can piggin' wait!!!!Rachel
😀
andyl - I wish - painting nails is easy - walls are harder (mainly because my ceiling is so blooming high...)
It's called bloke looking in our house. I consider it a skill to be able to locate lost items using only my voice as opposed to devoting any eye time to it.
Charliemungus - he wasn't looking for something that had a label so clearly was stuffed from the get go?
Pretty much. Test the idea. put 2 things in the fridge / on the table etc. turn one of them so that the label is not visible, ask him (urgently) to pass you both, reckon you get the label one first
Thing is, in their heads, blokes are imagining clicking on [Start] then [Search] and typing in the name of the thing they are looking for
emsz - drop me a line on my email or FB details in profile, please? You gotta hear this...
Rachel
CharlieMungus - are you really telling us guys can't read upside down???
Rachel
When men have lost something they think "I've lost the bottle opener". When they see the bottle opener, the brain says, "no - that can't be it, I've [i]lost[/i] the bottle opener" and they carry on.
And women just put everything in "a drawer". Any drawer. Every drawer.
Rachel....Mail!!
CharlieMungus - are you really telling us guys can't read upside down???
No, i think men are probably better than women at this. There will be evidence on this somewhere. I mean turn the package so that the name is not directly visible.
In fact, becuase of this, the birthrate has dropped since C&A stopped selling knickers here

EH????

Err...hang on, why would we need a bottle opener? She should've already opened it.......
😉
I usually just search for hours, look a bit dejected and that convinces my missus to help me search out of pity. I don't fart, pick my nose or ears. HTH
I stomp around and get angry when I can't find stuff - normally my keys, Uni access card, phone or wallet 😀
I just purchase a replacement of whatever is lost. That guarantees that the original will be found almost immediately.
My GF is exactly the same. Not-systematic about putting things in places and then frustrated when they can't be found.
