Things Girls Don't Understand

[TehMac]

wtf??

 

[dave_the_nerd]

I never understood how that guy could POSSIBLY tolerate being married to someone that stupid. It would drive me up a wall.

And it isn't possible they're being intentionally stupid for the sake of making a viral video? I mean, his intro is pained, and she sounds like a valley girl pretending to be high.

Similar thoughts here.

It may have started out as one of those things where she quickly realized that she was think something stupid, which happens to everyone, but then they decided to try to turn it into a popular video.

Example: At work we got a cheap 3d printer, the sort that prints using a spool of 3mm filament of plastic, like a fancy hot glue gun with some servo motors strapped to it. Someone got the idea that it'd be neat to get a high-temperature version and start printing copper directly onto a circuitboard.

The conversation that followed was along these lines:
"Yeah, but where are we going to get spools of copper filament?"

"<quiet stare for a bit> Um......how about wire?"

".....Ok, that was pretty stupid, wasn't it."

Something on "sale" still means you are spending money so don't act like you got it for free!

I read an interview with the guy elsewhere which seemed to imply that it wasn't the case. Obviously there is no knowing for sure.

This, so much this.

Also, directions. My wife is the WORST navigator ever.

Heh - mine to. Horrible at giving directions, entering things into the GPS and map reading. Why just the other day I was driving with her sister in the passenger seat and she was in the back giving directions.

Her: "Why aren't you turning left?"
Me: "Its a round about I have to go right"
Her: "Ok, well make sure you take the exit on the left."
Me: "They are all on the right. Which one should I take." (there were 3 exits 'to the left' of where we entered)
Her: "That one" Points.
Me: "I can't see you point"
Her: *Huff* "Turn at the next one"
Me: "Ok, now where?"
Her: "Go that way."
Me: "I can't see you point"
-15 seconds later-
Me: "Is that it over there?"
Silence
Me: "Is that it over there?"
Her: "YES! I nodded when you asked"
Me: "I CAN"T FUCKING SEE YOU!"

Another concept, courtesy of our species' tendency to cobble together terribly stupid languages: Use of the word "right" while giving directions.
Does it mean "correct" or "affirmative?" Or is it referring to orientation?



"Do I turn at the next light?"
"Right."
...
"Why did you turn right?"
"You said to turn right, right?"
"No!"
"Alright, so which way did I turn at that light?"
"The right way!"
"But you said that was the wrong way!"
"It was!"


I'd imagine that Abbott and Costello could do a routine with this - or maybe they did.

I've actually trained my GF to give pretty good directions. Along the lines of:
Her: "Ok in 1.5 miles, you'll make a left turn onto XYZ street, so you'll need to get in the left lane."

Of course that took a while of:
Her: "Right turn here."
*Turn Right*
Me: "Ok what's next?"
Her: "Nothing for a few blocks."
Me: "Well what will it be in a few blocks? If I need to cross over 3 lanes I want to know"
Her: "It's a left."
Me: "Onto what street?"
Her: "The one with Starbucks on the corner"
Me: "Grrrr"

LMAO. Mine is more like this:

Me: Okay, so do I need to take this exit?
Her: ummmm, I think so.
/us getting closer and closer to exit
Me: Well, do I need to take it or not
Her: /reading and looking at google map direction printout/ uhhhh, sure
/takes exit, couple minutes go by, nothing looks familiar to her
Me: We're lost, aren't we?
Her: /crickets/

 

[RearAdmiral]

Mine regularly forgets her left from her right when I ask which way and require the answer in less than 2 minutes. It's not hard to be a good copilot!

 

[RagingBITCH]

Oh wow...all these horrible direction stories. I lol'ed at all of them. My most recent contribution was coming back from Oklahoma on Sunday.

Her: *driving in the left lane with exit fast approaching in right hand lane in 1/4 mile*
Me: "Um hey baby, the exit is on the right...what are you doing?"
Her: "I know exactly where I am going, I can read road signs." *cuts across traffic to make the ramp onto the highway*

...3 minutes pass and we approach the exit to Bethany Rd (headed to grocery)...
...we pass the exit to Bethany Rd...

Her: "Wait, was that our exit?"
Me: "Yes"
Her: "Why didn't you say something?"
Me: "Because you can read the fucking sign"

 

[Fatdog]

Hello sexist topic!

Man, anyone reading this is going to leave with a lot of presumptuous baggage.

No, I pretty much had the presumptuous baggage when I came in here. It was just refreshing to see I'm not alone dealing with the same issues.

I've developed some sort of 6th sense to know when my wife has left and right mixed up. I'm not sure what cue I'm picking up, but I sort of know to point and say "you mean that way?" when she's got them mixed up.

They don't understand that there isn't a man alive (regardless of what he says) that is alright with 57 bottles of assorted shampoos, conditioners, facial treatments and, makeup covering every available square inch of counter top in the bathroom. Yet, they magically make it disappear whenever anyone come over.

 

[xSauronx]

Or cook dinner.

seriously....the number of women i know who couldnt cook their way out a macaroni and cheese box is ridiculous. im already trying to teach my little girl a few things here and there

FTFY

sort of, but i know a number of guys that can cook. but compare that to the list of women...there are way more men.

there are, however, definitely plenty of people that cannot. too bad.

My hangup is the huge number of folks who literally cannot feed themselves and think it's unimportant. I sometimes have urges to shove fast food up dark and scary places.

I'm not a big fan of cooking, but I can do it ok. I'm probably best at improvising simple food from simple ingredients. I always liked baking, but haven't done it in awhile.

i have a phone mount in my window....the gps is right there. its handy. all of these problems with you fuckers relying on your ladies to get you somewhere is your own damn fault

i love to bake sometimes. cookies, bread, puff pastry, pizza dough...i dont really do a lot of cakes and such but i will now and again.

i dont really like cooking for just me...but with some friends around or a small crowd ill gladly spend all afternoon in the kitchen. its not unusual over the summer for me and a friend to spend all day cooking for 10 or 15 people. its fun, and the food is delicious: (recently) beef wellington, spinach florentine, lobster mac and cheese and a mint-julep ice cream with chocolate souffle.

Things girls dont understand


if you dont want to lose me as a friend then have sex with me.

 

[MichaelD]

LOL @ this thread! Lots of funny and TRUE stuff in here...but many of you are so young...two girlfriends does not make you an expert on the confusing and misguided weaker sex. Wait until your GF gets knocked up on purpose, steals your furniture, wrecks your car and THEN hits you up for child support for the next 18 years. Then come and talk to me.

Know what? It's we MEN that don't understand "Pull the fuck out if you didn't wear a rubber, you idiot!!!" Women are simple to understand. They're idiots. All of them. Every single one of their thought processes are 180-degrees from ours. When we want silence (most of the time) they are yapping away like a howler monkey on crystal meth. When we are wasted and want to sleep, they want love you loooong time. When we are in the mood, they want to tell you about Amanda and what she said and my shoe heel broke and it was so embarassing and the diet chips taste like chalk and Gina didn't call me and are you listening to me....??????"

Prostitues: Invest in them.

 

[ElFenix]

that they should leave the thigh highs on

 

[Leros]

My only complaint is that women don't understand how to set the thermostat (its probably already been mentioned).

Women logic: "Its kinda warm in here, about 73F in fact. I really wish it was 70F. I'll turn it down to 55F, I'm sure that will do it". A bit later. "Kinda cold in here, about 68F. I really wish it was 70F. Better turn it up to 80F".
