Is there a Mrs Mosaix? And if so, for how much longer?

There certainly is and has been for 36 years.

I have to say not one of the points in the joke accurately reflects either her attitude to me nor my attitude to her. Apart, maybe, from me not needing maps.

Actually, no. We always do it wrong, even when we don't. It's wrong because we did it.

So, you're saying us men just shouldn't do anything? I'll buy into that......

If you did it how we said to do it and when we said to do it then this wouldn't be true. Men just like to think they know everything about everything. And yes, you do have to pre rinse the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher. You also can not wash clothes by putting them all in the washer, pouring in some soap, and turning on the washer. The latter being why my hubby is not allowed near the washer.

This is so true.

Another small point about generalisations not always holding true. For example, in my household, I am the one who tends to do this which is why I'm not allowed to wash hubbies 'good' shirts and he has to do them himself.

And I am the one who is clumsy and breaks stuff and gets told off for it.

(note to self: see GP about checking whether self is indeed female)

And to carry it further -- I don't rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, and I shove all clothes into the washing machine and have done with it.

But then I've never been under any delusions that I am particularly female anyway. If this is what constitutes as female. But don't get me all post-structuralist...

Male boss; "Do A would you ?"

Assistant : "OK."

Time passes.

MB: "Done ? Fine, now do B and it'll be time for a brew-up."

Female Boss; (as above).

Assistant: "OK."

Time passes. Female boss eyes near completed job, done perfectly well, sets several tasks for assistant and starts original job from scratch.

A male boss will pull you up if the job isn't done properly, but once he's confident in your ability, he'll trust you to get on with it.

A female boss considers herself the only one capable of anything and will never trust a subordinate's abilities.


Err DG ? My washing-machine's instruction manual tells me to do exactly that. Dishwashing for one doesn't need a dishwasher, which are unreliable anyway, especially with cutlery.

That is because men are subordinate and need constant, specific, instruction and are genetically incapable of hearing female voices.

LOL I'm just kidding folks, I don't really think that generalization, but with all the women this and that jokes, whats good for the goose is good for the gander, right.

Right.

I use the dishwasher more as a sanitizer, since the water is way hotter than I can use hand washing.

LOL Precision. Thats exactly why my hubby isn't allowed laundry. He only has one good shirt tho, he mostly has work clothes and I have all the 'good' clothes.

Women after my own heart,but you are all female believe me.Honest.

[dustinzgirl]

Well, if you had the (mis)fortune to meet any of the women in my family, you'd know why I'm a...what is it my husband said...oh, yeah..overbearing cleaning nazi. But I also blame that on my work history. Working in nursing taught me terrible things about what can be found in the places everyone touches. While I'm not like, OCD or anything, I only open public bathroom doors with a handiwipe. My biggest beef is that nobody in my house washes their hands after going to the bathroom unless I remind them too, seriously irks me, but I think they do it on purpose so I have to remind them.

PS: I don't think its just the women though, my uncle is way cleaner than I am, his house is immaculate, you can't find a spec of dust anywhere. And he's single.

[TheEndIsNigh]

Mmmm,

So basically, if the toilet seat is closed it prevents items like toothbrushes falling into it.



Sounds reasonable.




Though personally, I clean my teeth over the sink.

Methinx it may be time to break out that shotgun you keep mentioning.

Seriously though, I can't stand it when I'm in a public loo and some woman comes out of the cubicle and heads straight for the door without washing their hands. I've often wondered if I'd get into serious trouble if I were to wack them on the head with a handbag. Maybe Judge will tell me if she happens this way.

[TheEndIsNigh]

PG: I think I can see your problem and you have obviously been missing a trick all these years. Please let me explain.

Most people as they flush the toilet use the opportunity to use the flush to wash their hands in the clean water. If you're quick you can both wash your hands and grab some tissue to dry them with. This is 'thrown' (probably where the word comes from) into the last dregs of the flush leaving the toilet ready for the next occupant.

However, timing is everything and sometimes the tardy leave it too late and some tissue remains in the toilet. Which is why so often it looks like the toilet hasn't been flushed at all when you go in there.

Hope this clears things up for you.

Tein, the end just got that little bit closer.
