If not we won't hear,or care, what you say for the rest of the night.
--------------------------------------------------------------
To go one step further, I think this tends to lead to a lot of arguments that can quickly dissolve a marriage (see HK's post). My current wife is the epitamy of a woman who cannot shut her trap. Worse, she has to go through every frigging detail about something that is ridiculously meaningless (to me, a man). Here's a typical dialog THE MINUTE I STEP INSIDE THE HOUSE FROM WORK:
Wife: Oh my God! I saw Mrs. Jones today walking her dog. You know, the one with the black spots that always likes to piss on our yard? ...
Me: Uh-huh.
Wife: ... The dog that blah, blah, blah and blah, blah, blah? ...
Me: Yeah.
Wife: ... Well, she was walking her dog earlier (Me: You just frigging said that!) and she stops in front of our house. Lo-and-behold the dog takes another wizz on our lawn. Can you believe that? ...
Me: You don't ...
Wife (not letting me even get my words out): I was like "Again?!?!" So, I was about to go outside and confront her about it, but the phone range and it was my mom. Oh my God. You won't believe what happened.
Me (hearing nothing but ocean waves): What?
Wife: Well, she told me ... (another long, boring, ridiculous, nonsensical story that wastes about 5-10 mins of my life).
Me: Wow. Really? Well, I gotta go to the can.
(three hours later - not that I'm on the can that long, but later in the evening) ...
Wife: So, what do you think my mom should do?
Me: About what?
Wife: About what I told you earlier?
Me: Refresh my memory.
Wife: I swear you never listen to me!

You hear ocean waves??? Nice! The only thing I could conjour up to black out the endless blabbering was an old German chainsaw that was about to throw a rod.
Remember the drinking bird toy? Ya filled it up with water,gave it a nudge and it would just move back and forth on and on and on? Well, that was my head,as soon as I walked in the door while firing up that mental chainsaw.

This one is for you "need to be nagged to death"...I totally get why your wife nags you. Maybe you should pick a life partner by what you have in common instead of the size of her waist and her breasts.
As for this being the men's room it certainly is full of shit!

What makes things worse (if that's even possible) is that whenever *I* have something to say, she wants me to spit it out in three words or less.
Another thing that bugs me to no end is when they call you at work and either (1) do the same thing (that is, talk endlessly about something idiotic) or (2) have absolutely NOTHING to say.
My first two wives would call me 3-5x per day just "to talk about whatever." I'd have to set aside my "work brain" and put on my "spouse listening brain", which usually consisted of listening to the same ocean waves, and then put my "work brain" back on (as best I could) after the conversation ended. Maybe women are good at switching back-n-forth quickly, but I gotta tell you it's hard to do for a man. And women, please don't call us at work just to say "Whatcha doing?" WTF?!?!? I'm working - you know, trying to make money so you can stay at home to call me and ask silly questions.

How is being honest full of shit? If we come home and hang on every blessed word you say and tell you exactly what you want to hear THEN we are being full of shit. I just worked 10 hours,sat in God awful traffic,I'm hungry and the kids and I have to be at Karate in 10 minutes AND the kids didn't do their homework yet.( Tell me again what you do all day, certainly wasn't housework) I could give a flyin fart that Joan across the street just planted a fig tree.

>>>>> "Some of you guys just need to go gay already. Geez"
Actually going "gay" would mean we would be MORE "tuned in" when a woman talks. Fugitaboutit.
Also, notice how it's always the MAN that needs to change?

[quote]Guys I'm sorry. These ______ (fill in the blank) just want to follow me around and invade my and our space under the guise of being able to go anywhere. They seem to be obsessive. I'm afraid I've earned their ire for the rest of my life here on this board.

If you read who my reply was to, it was to Stolz and his original post, not you. His post was interesting, not yours. To his post I replied with a joke. People around here do take the time to joke with each other. It had nothing to do with you.
HK, was that really your house I went to? I don't believe it for a minute. I thought YOU cooked ME dinner! And your amrchair didn't have cupholders!
