One thing, leaving bits of popcorn in his seat when he's done. Leaves foody finger smears on everything he touches in the kitchen at meal times, and for some reason, he feels he has to touch everything.

It only takes one time before anyone learns not to leave something for me to pick up. Ipods, phones, socks, shoes, bags, books, toys, doesn't matter. If I have to pick it up it's trash.

You guys are so funny! Male refrigerator blindness perplexes me. It also happens in pantries. But when I really shake my head is when they ask "have you seen [insert really odd thing I've never seen, but they've lost here]?" I need a crystal ball.

Unfortunately, I also suffer from "refrigerator blindness"

Another one - when I ask him "what do you want for ......."

He says "whatever you want to fix"

Somehow, "Nothing" never seems to cut it.

Gee, you're really nice! My mom used to charge us a dollar!

That is so funny, and I am sure it works. My ex would go hunting and come back home and leave all his hunting gear where it didn't belong. She warned him many times that she would sell his gear next time he left it anywhere but his room.
Well, he left it one last time, and she put everything on the curb with a free sign. Gun and everything else. It was all the most expensive possessions he owned. He about had a cow when he got home from work and it was out on the front lawn. He never left his stuff out anymore. He asked if she would have sold it, and she said "yes". LOL :lol:

I feel really bad about answering this one. Dh is a great cook, cleans the kitchen and pours me a glass of wine when dinner is ready. LOL If I have quilted all day in the quilt room, he will bring me snacks and tea. He is a jewel, but does not make the bed to my satisfaction. Quilt is all screwed up and crooked. We have mirrored closet doors, so it is easy to see how it looks, but I am keeping him anyway.
