[#2718218]

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 👿

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 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.

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

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 🙁

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...

It is MrsT that has that problem in our house 🙄 I tend to do most of the tidying being a shift worker 😆

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...

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...

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?

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.
