Annoying male habit 1: Adjusting your private parts
The day that women discover the secret to a man’s love for fiddling with his private parts will be a joyous occasion. Surely that much scratching and re-adjusting can’t be good for us; why hasn’t someone invented a cure for this frustrating problem by now? The image of a man lying on the sofa with his manhood in one hand and a bag of... well, nuts in the other, certainly won’t make it into a list of women’s top 10 sexual fantasies any time soon. Whilst women understand we sometimes need to ‘sort the boys out’ for comfort purposes, at least do it while they are not looking.
Annoying male habit 2: Selective hearing
Choosing to watch the television over listening to our other half is never going to end well because it’s insulting. Are women really that boring? Or do we only enjoy conversations about sex and food? Tuning in and out of conversations isn’t really an option; we are either having a chat with them, or we isn’t. Maybe all conversations should take the form of ‘Sex. Please take the bin out’ or ‘Food. Can I have a cuddle?’ or maybe even ‘I’m naked. My tea has been on the side for half an hour’.
Annoying male habit 3: Leaving a trail of mess
What is it with the male tendency to leave the story of their day behind in a long trail of mess like a storyboard? When they get home from work they don’t need to ask what we have been up to on our day off; they can see that we had a shower and a shave, played on our game, had lunch, played on a different game and then watched films. Is this a strategic trail that we men leave behind so we can find our way back to the fridge? Or is it so we needn’t bother telling them about our day when they get home?
Annoying male habit 4: Leaving the remnants of your shaving session in the sink
Men, if you walked into the bathroom only to find used makeup wipes and the hair from women freshly shaved legs around the bathroom, they are sure we men find it somewhat bothersome. They seem to face a similar problem every morning with our short curly hairs and bits of stubble. It’s not pleasant at all. Just because we men hate the boring process of shaving, don’t bring them into your battle against the beard and overgrown chest hair.
Annoying male habit 5: Man flu
The term ‘man flu’ has permeated public consciousness to suggest that men exaggerate their cold symptoms as a way of getting attention from their female counterparts. If men are as strong and enduring as men claim to be, then don’t break down when you have a cold. Women dread to think how we cope with period pain and childbirth – thank your lucky stars you’re a man.
Annoying male habit 6: Spending all their money on technical stuff
If they go on a shopping spree and return with a handful of bags, they never hear the end of it. Yet men seem to have a bottomless bank of money when it comes to games and technical stuff. They are willing to call compromise on this one though; if they are going to spend their money on stuff they don’t really need, let us do the same without feeling guilty about it. We buy our games, they buy their shoes, and we’ll call it a truce.
Annoying male habit 7: Leaving the toilet seat up
The troublesome toilet seat; who would have known it could cause such a fuss? Indeed, no list of men’s annoying habits is complete without the classic toilet seat argument getting a mention. Women understand that we need to lift it up – they only complain about us dirtying the seat if we didn’t …
