the dishes

I can't iron things either.but then i'm not even sure if we have an iron.

Generalisations are fun.

Two things at once?

I literally cannot watch tv and listen to someone, I can hear them speaking but my brain just does not register what they are saying.

Ironing? It's really not that difficult...place thing flat, run hot iron over flat thing, repeat till ironed...

admiralofthefleet · 13-10-2011 9:25pm

I can't put a sheet onto a duvet. Every time I attempt to do it, it ends up with me violently swearing and frightening the neighbours.

Many variables tho...steam/ no steam, temperature setting, inside out

Best bet - call the misses and claim ignorance/incompetance. Sit back with beer while going out shirt is ironed. :cool:

Go shopping without becoming suicidal.

Pee into the toilet.
Not around the toilet...not on the toilet..actually into the toilet.

Use a washing machine

Ironing is simple.
Erect ironing-board.
Plug in iron.
Attach woman.
Simple
The man does the erection obviously

carveone · 13-10-2011 9:30pm

Fake orgasms?
Listen (or pretend to at least)?
Live as long?
Listen to that inner intuition that says those shoes are just wrong.
Cry and get away without paying that speeding ticket.

Have multiple orgasms.

dr gonzo · 13-10-2011 9:32pm

Real cliche one here but i truly am dreadful at multi-tasking. I have to tackle things systematically and if theres a backlog to get through the tension builds.

This version of chaos theory was explained to me once by d missus, but tbh I could not grasp it.

Try putting the sheet on the mattress and the duvet cover on the duvet

patwicklow · 13-10-2011 9:40pm

Dont think us lads can yap as much as the women either:)

castletownman · 13-10-2011 9:41pm

Talk or make noise in general during a sporting event on the telly.......

On a serious note, I tried to make my bed once and broke my leg

Dotrel · 13-10-2011 9:41pm

Let's hear it for the women. They do a great job keeping the house clean and I for one admire them for their undoubted skill in such matters.

You need to turn the duvet cover inside out first. Then put your hands into the cover till you are grabbing the ends from the inside. Then grab the duvet at two corners and lift (and shake a bit) so as to allow the cover to fall over it, thus turning the right way around, et viola!

See here (and it's done by a man! Skip to 40 secs tho, he waffles at the start)

Make a sandwich - men can do it but they're usually crap -

When a woman does it they are culinary delights -

Like if I'm in a deli and i see a man making the sandwiches i tell him "to take 5 chief' and get a female to make it.

El Guapo! · 13-10-2011 9:52pm

I have to agree with the ironing thing. I tried it a few times, and whatever I'm trying to iron just ends up even more creased than it was before I started.

I am afraid of folding fitted sheets, just ends up in a big ball.

So why do women still wear uggs?

Not all of us do. They are horrible. I don't care how comfortable they are- they're grand for wearing around the house I guess. They are ridiculously over priced as well, can't understand how people can justify the prices for them.

Back on topic though- most men can't dance. They just look so awkward. And if they're not awkward, it's usually because they're very very drunk.

Man could not use eyelash curler, that's for sure.. :pac

FYP

The missus laments my lack of coordination on the dancefloor and says she should have married a dancing man. I feel that my baby making abilities more than make up for this.

Simon Adebisi · 13-10-2011 10:26pm

I cannot put the cover on a quilt without help. Its feckin impossible.

goochy · 13-10-2011 10:27pm

they are few and far between - more like dont feel like doing - think having babies is only thing women can do that a man cant and they love to remind us that as they have little else to be proud about !
