Women organising things
This may appear sexist (it probably is) BUT how often does your better half accidentally make a whoops.
Case in point - at a wedding weds, middle of nowhere in a wood. Our digs were apparently 10 mins walk away - this was untrue, it was in another county in a place with the same name.
I'm obviously perfect. Might just be my o h .....

Re: Women organising things
Mine organises everything. Luckily she’s fucking good at it!
Re: Women organising things
My wife decided to put all of the spaghetti into a nice sealed jar. I discovered this last night. She'd thrown away the packet so I wasn't sure how long it needed to be cooked for. The jar takes up much more space than a packet. It's dried pasta so doesn't need to be sealed anyway. But hey, it looked prettier in the cupboard and she doesn't like spaghetti so it made a prettier kitchen decoration
Always the case though, I do appreciate her tidying up most of the time.

Re: Women organising things
You have partners who organise things?
Mine literally has trouble not missing her stop on the tube, so I wouldn't trust her to organise anything
PS - yes Broccers, your post is sexist, being rubbish at organising has nothing to do with her gender.

Re: Women organising things
Pretty sure the homosexual members will complain too.
Normally when I DO THINGS nothing goes wrong. We went to Gambia one year, Nic organsied the holiday - well we missed the flight from Manchester as there was a problem with reading the time so we had to come home for 3 days and wait for the next flight. I obviously didn't moan about the cost or having to hide in our house for 3 days as we were meant to be ON HOLIDAY.
Re: Women organising things
My wife did exactly the same thing at a wedding a few years ago. I try not to even say anything during those moments and move on. To be fair she often makes decisions or helps me make decisions that in hindsight were good but i probably wouldn't have made on my own so definitely not just a pair of boobs.
She recently starting cutting a loaf of bread from the side instead of the end that had already been started as she fancied a longer slice ! I was like wtf is going on Its fascinating living with someone who's brain works very differently to your own and i felt like a bit of a nob going through life thinking i should only cut a loaf one way

Re: Women organising things
I organise everything on account of my wife having major anxiety so no need to put that stress in her
She does however organise/tidy the house- when I can’t find what I want I just look in the least logical place. DVD remote? That’ll be in the conservatory that doesn’t have a DVD player in it then………

Lucky that 3 couples had rubbish partners so we just paid for the mini bus there and back.

That bread thing? Got pics?
Re: Women organising things
Ah tidying? Is that an alternative word for hiding? I leave my stuff in certain places as I'm old and blind. They vanish and the old question of 'Have you seen my ..... shoes/coat/etc?' is met with no. The correct answer is its been 'tidied', which means moved to random places noone knows where.jamcg wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 4:30 pm I organise everything on account of my wife having major anxiety so no need to put that stress in her

Who had agreeing with broccers on their 2022 bingo sheet?
Re: Women organising things
My missus organises all the house bills etc and knows the house account to the nearest penny at any point, yet loses her phone around 6 times a day in the house.
Re: Women organising things
Yep, this rings so true. My wife will take a loaf that's been cut down to half and then start cutting from a perpendicular side. It makes no fucking sense, just more surface area to dry out.Carlos wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 4:26 pm She recently starting cutting a loaf of bread from the side instead of the end that had already been started as she fancied a longer slice !

We're wired up completely differently, but it works. Anything that requires being consistent and vaguely organised (eg bills) is generally on me. She's got all the emotional intelligence though, and keeps me from being the total cunt I would probably be if left to my own devices. She also has an incredible talent for knowing exactly where anything in the house is, I can spend half and hour hunting for something and then I ask her and she'll tell me where it is.
Re: Women organising things
My other half does fuck all
Which is fine because when she does, it’s a fucking disaster

Re: Women organising things
I think both of your wives are inspired. I’d never have considered doing that with a loaf but it’s just a loaf of bread; why not think outside the box?duncs500 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 11:18 pmYep, this rings so true.
