Unfortunately it is the last one that I can't deal with.

What difference does it make if you scoop butter out of the center of the container vs. along the sides?

Card table chairs only unfold one way.

That is the way that your 'To Go' was packed. Yes the pizza box is empty. The pizza box keeps the heat off of the seats in the truck.

Your car needed gas. I can not control the price of gas. You're welcome.

Yes, what's his name is gay. There's nothing that I can do about that.

Not sure about this one. What if she has an allergic reaction? What if you suffer from hayfever? What if she is still upset from last night?
My better half as told me not to bring her flowers any more. Help!

HEALTH WATCH - BRINGING HER FLOWERS IS NOT HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH
PowerPoint presentation

Not long after I got married, I was driving home from work and saw a flower seller on the side of the road. I stopped and bought a nice large bunch of flowers for my newly-wed bride as a little romantic gesture.

On arriving home I walked in with the flowers behind my back and then pulled them out and said "surprise" hoping she would be happy that I had thought of her.

Instead she got an angry look on her face and snarled at me " What the %#*& have you done?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Men only buy flowers for their wives if they have done something wrong. What did you do? Who was she?"

I copped a full-on argument and abuse for days.

The next bunch of flowers I bought for her was 15 years later and I put them on top of her coffin. She didn't say anything that time.

Sorry to hear of your loss..

Some classes I am informed that I should attend are;

How to pick up a bath mat.
How to sort clothing by colour before washing.
How to hang unmentionables on the washing line.
This one is very particular and relates to the reusable straws SWMBO uses to imbibe her diet shakes and their location in the dishwasher.
Apparently I need to understand the difference between the knife drawer and the cutlery basket.

You have forgotten

How to fold a fitted sheet after it has been washed.

Hi,
I do not know why this thread gives one the feeling one is not alone.

Otherwise known as 'mission impossible'. We owned motels for 15 years and I've folded a lot of sheets, but I've never come to terms with those @#$%^&* things!

Learning how to live with being wrong all the time,

If a man says something in a forest and his wife doesn’t hear - Is he still wrong ???

Then there's the good old:

"You left the toilet seat up again"

"Ok, I get that you want it down. I want it up. When you put it down you are working with gravity, when I have to put it up I am fighting gravity. Whichever way it is left you get it easier than I do so get over it."

[Fuzzie]

"You left the toilet seat up again"

I'm not OCD but I've noticed across a number of female visitors, this apparently only applies to the ring portion and not the lid.

[Rodgera]

Then there's the good old:

"You left the toilet seat up again"

I cured that one. I use the sink!

Yes

Luckily there's enough material in the original course outline to placate the lady members on here. However, if they decide that they've had enough you blokes better watch your backs at any future get togethers or tool sales.
