OCCASIONAL OBSERVATIONS ON WOMEN


Women are amazing. Somewhere along the line they seem to have learnt to do things that men would never think of doing.
We have a large house up north and encourage friends and family to visit. The reason we bought a house larger than what we need for ourselves is so that guests can have their own space (spare bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and lounge). It works very well. When women or couples visit, on leaving they clean the kitchen and bathroom, vacuum the floors and put sheets and towels in the washing machine. No-one asks them to do this they just do it. Men do not. The most that a man does is to put the towel back on the towel rack. We don't think that there is anything wrong with this. We just don't think.

This is it?
This is the post I've waited all Saturday for?
So, let me get this right, you had a male friend staying who didn't put things in the washing machine?
This makes for fascinating reading!
Well done! I mean it!
You should put a little blackboard on your wall and make a chalk tick every time a male friend stays and doesn't put the towels into the machine.
Wow! This post has certainly set me thinking!
If you feel so strongly about men putting things in the machine, why not simply put a sign on the wall saying,
"Attention! Before you leave please check that all linen and towels are in the washing machine. Please make sure you read this if you are a man. Women already know to do this."

Cleaning up is, after all, women's work.
