Default Me and my girlfriend

I know my girlfriend means well but why can't women leave things were they are! I know i am not the tidiest of people around but when i leave something ie. the cable for my phone to laptop at my ****, i do so in the knowledge that i can pick it up and use it again. BUT low and behold i go to use said cable today and it is not were i left it. I have searched the whole house and cannot find it anywhere because SHE has hid it away somewhere "safe and out of the way"

its at times like this that i feel my life was some what easier when i was single

Oh tell me about it

Tidy away everything that belongs to me from all visible sight and then forget where the **** she's put it. Rather than admit she's a daft bint with the memory of a fish she tells ME that I must have put it away, conveniently forgetting the 20 years of incessant moaning about the fact that I NEVER put things away How does that work?

I'm very pleased that Moley has some plus points and I'm not jealous

I think in your position it would be time for Mr backofhand to pay a quick trip to face land.

there must be an outbreak as my mrs is the same. I always put certain things in the same place, keys being the best example, however many a time I go to retrieve said items and they are not there.

Usual reply is "I havent moved them" well who the **** has then, the fish or the dog?

still there are 1 or 2 plus points (one being she is carrying my child the second one will come to me )

I think the second pointy thing coming probably led to the first point

Just hope that your missus remembers to tidy away Junior's Lego. You can guarantee you'll end up standing on it, bare-footed, in the dark.

That is exactly what my missus does! I'll leave out some paperwork / bills so that i don't forget to sort them and next thing they are gone. Usual reply - "i've not moved them"............. YES YOU FUKCING HAVE BECAUSE I HAVENT

I normally get the reply, "well you shouldn't leave things lying about"........

I left them out for a bloody reason woman!!!!

How are we gonna combat this lads cus its getting on my feckin **** and anytime we have an argument about it, i'm always on the one in the wrong!

My house used to be a very masculine place with a big screen tv surround sound, movie posters, beer, xboxs and pornography. Now its got plants and a colour scheme, fish and no pornography

My mate's missus lost my GPS receiver by putting it 'in a safe place'. The irony was palpable.

Easily solved:

1. Takeways.
2. Hire a Maid.
3. Get mother to look after you.

Solved

THe way I see it you have two options

(i)Be a complete ****ing poof about it and say " sorry dear" every time she throws a paddy

(ii)Tell her to either leave your stuff alone or **** off. You don't go around tidying up her **** so why the **** does she think she has the right to do it to yours?"

****ing people that think they have the right to tell the other how to live thier life get right on my ****.

You left it at your **** ???

ok...

To be honest my g/f's not that bad, she makes more mess than me

When I lived at home my Dad was terrible for moving things. One of his favorite tricks was to pile everything he could find of mine on my desk or on my bed !!

**** OFF

I'm going with the fight fire with fire option at the minute

The other day I gave my stepson a bolloxing for never putting stuff back where he got it from when he'd finished with it, and got accused by MrsD of being a control freak

Yesterday he wanted me to have a look at his car because the headlights weren't working properly, I fixed the problem (dodgy connection), but then left his car parked at the top end of our road (100yds away) when I was finished

Apparently I'm being petty

Just start doing the same to them. Put away all the make-up that they don't use in the garden shed (that's most of it then!), put all their old girlie mags in the recycling bin and through away all the clothes and shoes that they haven't worn in the last 6 months.

Note: I will not accept any responcibility for injuries or deaths caused or sustained due to implimenting any of the above!

LOL this thread has made me laugh.

But I'm sorry to say I'm female and have to agree with you, I do exactly the same, move things that is, it must be a 'woman' thing. I can't disagree with any of you blokes with what you are saying, but I would be slightly peeved if the make-up and perfume started disappearing in to the garden shed

My ex had this really bad habbit of tidying things up all the damn time.

I'd be watching something on tv, get up to get a drink, by the time I was back at the sofa she would have plumped up all the cushions and I'd have to re work my butt groove!

It sounds like she was doing a nice thing but every 10 minutes was becoming a joke.

OP, havent you worked it out yet ? The whole point of girlfriends, who then become wives is to take over where our mothers left off when we moved out.

For 16+ years you have your mother telling you what to do and complaining about you, you then move out and can slob around as much as you like and please yourself, then you move in with a girl and its just like going back home.

The only benefit is that its worth putting up with as its cheaper than having to hire a cook, cleaner, washer and hooker to take care of you - unless you CAN get your mum to do ALL of these, which is a little bit too much like living in Norfolk for most of us.

why not leave said cable in your laptop bag! after all the cable is useless without the laptop so just leave it in your laptop bag then the ball and chain won't have any need to move it will she? and you will always know where it is.
