Why can't people tell you straight out what they are mad about? (and YES by people I mean women) No wonder they get mad all the time they expect us to guess one that they are mad and two to know why or what they think we did?

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not,
and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.

They never want to hurt feelings, but in the end, have ruined your meal, ruined your evening, or runined your weekend. All because you didn't notice the cute little sunflower towels in the bathroom.
Wife just came in, read what I was writing and now my evening's ruined![:0]

You'll probably be wrong, and give her something ELSE to be mad about!

Women say exactly what they mean...men just dont listen....and as for men???/...They always say straight out what they mean...oh yea and dead ducks fly backwards too...Examples...
"I can't find it."
MEANS: It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I am completely
clueless.
"That's women's work."
MEANS: It's difficult, dirty and thankless.
"Will you marry me?"
MEANS: Both of my roommates have moved out, I can't find the washer
and there's no peanut butter left.
"It's a guy thing."
MEANS: There's no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you
have no chance at all of making it logical.
"Can I help with dinner?"
MEANS: Why isn't it already on the table?
"It would take too long to explain."
MEANS: I have no idea how it works.
"I'm getting more exercise lately."

"We're going to be late."

"Take a break, honey, you're working too hard."
MEANS: I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner.
"That's interesting dear."
MEANS: Are you still talking?
"Honey, we don't need material things to prove our love."
MEANS: I forgot our anniversary again.
"It's really a good movie."
MEANS: It's got guns, knives, fast cars and naked women.
"You know how bad my memory is."
MEANS: I remember the words to the theme song of F-Troop, the
address of the first girl I kissed, and the vehicle identification number
of every car I've ever owned, but I forgot your birthday.
"Oh, don't fuss, I just cut myself, it's no big deal."
MEANS: I have actually severed a limb, but will bleed to death! before I
admit I'm hurt.
"She's one of those rabid feminists."

"I heard you."
MEANS: I haven't the foggiest clue what you just said and hope I can
fake it well enough, so you don't spend the next three days yelling at me.
"You really look terrific in that outfit!"
MEANS: Please don't try on one more outfit, I'm starving.

of toilet paper.

Lil' Stinker's Opinion
Didn't know that ol'timer you put up with was that bad! [;)]
Like nunn and some others, I've lived long enough now to value directness highly, since the price of leaving things unsaid can be high. If I can contribute anything in my own life, I can at least "tell my truth" and let the chips fall. I can no longer bear to spend a lot of time around people who are so "courteous" that they never get around to telling you what bothers them. Singles probably get a lot more of this kind of treatment than marrieds do, though. As somebody said on TV this week, the difference between being single and being married is being lonely or being annoyed.

It must be nice to live in such a simplified world where you can make gross generalizations about entire groups of people.
