Title: Why are women..
Post by: Scrumpy on March 16, 2024, 08:51:40 AM

.. more patient then men..?

I am a patient person.. I don't get stressed with other drivers if they are having any problems.. I don't moan about a slow queue or someone paying with coins and fiddling in their purse..
It always seems to be men that moan about these things more then women..
They are usually pensioners.. with time on their hands .. they leave the store then chat to a friend .. I find the young are better mannered than the elderly.. and much more tolerant towards older people..
I am not a walk over by any means.. But I do try to understand what other people are going through..

  Men don't need/read instructions.
Men get impatient with an assembly pack.. They go head first in trying to screw a bit here and glue a bit there.. Then, all of a sudden they glance at the instructions..

Women read the instructions first..

And men don't wait for the paint to dry.. They keep touching it..
And blame the screw if it is not long enough..

No they come in Engrish as I said - a special dialect invented by the Chinese and compretery incomplehensible to all.

once had a Japanese camera - in the instructions was 'this camera is designed to be used hanging by the neck'. It was an SLR with removeable lens and the strict instruction 'do not touch the flipping mirror'

Unlike women who blame the men if the screw isn't long enough.

I remember there being a Chinese takeaway next door to a cobblers.  The signage was one of those freaks of nature ... "Lee Key's". "Shoe Repairs"

Truth be told, all women really need to know is how to use a tin opener.  And all those numbers on hobs and ovens are entirely unnecessary.  Just label for three settings - cool, medium and hot will more than suffice.

Can I boil a kettle on top of the cooker.. Or do I just use that cord thingy that is attached to it.. ?

Both at the same time.  Make sure you stick your elbow in it to see if it's getting warmer.

Why are women always able to find something they've had for years in the back of their wardrobes that looks brand new.

Because whenever they buy something new they only wear it once.  Thereafter it is out of fashion and they feel the need to buy something new, or newer.

Then they find the first cast-off and consider that it is now fashionable again.

You see.  I really do understand women after all.
Title: Re: Why are women..
Post by: dextrous63 on March 22, 2024, 06:49:35 PM
More like it is brand new and they've put it in the back of a wardrobe to hide the fact that they've spent money unnecessarily (yet again!!!) so when they take it out it looks like they've had it for ages.

A suit I bought in 1987 still fits me & I still wear it when a suit is needed.

I still have one bought 5 years ago because the wardrobe had shrunk the others. I won't be trying it on. I think I might need a better wardrobe.

Why is a man never really listening to a conversation..
Unless the conversation involves the words 'food' or 'sex'.. 
Only then have they heard every word you are saying..

A small number of women even take an interest in the Organ.
Anna Lapwood is a present favourite.
Being a young woman, and rather pretty, for some reason she has become quite a favourite in organ music...
for some reason.

I've only just seen it so I've had a look at her on YouTube.

The Albert Hall organ certainly gave a good selection of knobs to pull.
