A man question

can any man on here please tell me why if you know what needs doing you always have to stand or sit for ten minutes looking at it before actualy doing it.

pete is outside with matthew ready to fix the fence. new panels and post bought tools out cemnt etc out so what are they discussing ??????????????????

Meh, its a man thing!

you have to have a planning meeting first and that tends to include a cup of tea

It's like that in our house,

The kitchen looks like a bombs hit it and they have only made a sandwich

They are planning ahead and therefore avoiding mistakes because they know the other half will point out any errors asap

well at last its finished so the dogs can go back out again in a day or 2 when the cement has set. they have missed not being able to come and go as they please

This behaviour is part of the ritual. They need to meditate on receiving the manual for whatever it is they are doing by devine intervention. Dont ask me what for since they never read it anyway

Nah.....it's just that mens' brains tend to work more slowly. They don't multi-task like women do, so their brains aren't as sharp!

(dons safety helmet & runs for cover.....)

Measure twice and cut once. It takes a bit of time to do things right. If you mess up you have to start over.

See, us guys finally get to the job we have been told about, reminded about, ran out of valid excuses not to complete said job, and now when faced with the actual feat of completing said task, have to collect our thoughts, focus and visualize our happy OH (and perhaps rehearse our excuses if we don't do it to the liking of our lady counterpart). There is way more involved than just the task see. It requires full visualization of many things and not just the task. Sometimes... I take 13 minutes not just 10.

My husband said for WEEKS "Lets's get a skip in so we can clear out the garage"... Nothing ever happened. Until I ordered it... then he's all gung-ho "Let's get into the garage!" The I had to order the next one when it was full! (no we don't have that much junk, but we got a really small skip that we thought was going to be bigger... silly us!)

Don't get me started on men

Ian decided that a week before my exams would be an excellent time to wallpaper the living room, paint and mount a tv onto the wall......and he wonders why I am stressed?!?!

cant live with them cant live without them gotta love them really

It's simple, if we are hoping you will do it instead

Men are the most useless things in the world and always think they know best, when in fact they are always proven wrong after fatal mistakes. Im turning *.
