Bwahaha! I like it. My problem has been more with the washing machine and dryer. I had to post a HUGE NOTE telling them that dryer lint went in the trash can…not on top of the dryer or on the floor. Duh.

A GREAT post, which inspired GREAT comments! All fun to read.

I’ve been married 43 years, and Hubby STILL tells me when he loads the dishwasher or takes out the trash or (RARELY) runs a load of laundry — so that I can thank him(!), I guess. Yesterday, he yelled into the other room to me, “Hey, something smells in the trash!” I yelled back, “Are you telling me so that I can take it out?” (I think I could actually “hear” him having an “aha” moment.) He didn’t say any more — just took it out.

In his defense, when we lived in the farm house and had a mouse problem. When I would yell, “Ick, there’s a mouse in this trap!” He never once expected me to take care of it. I’ll trade dishwasher loading or laundry any day for mouse trap duty, or, now that I think about it, any of the other “icky” or physically hard jobs he does!

Glad to see the fairies live everywhere…

Well, and iPost brings up a VERY valid list of other public service announcements I really should make…

Cgreno “Empty beer cans, bottles, bags have lost their decorative value and can be placed in the garbage can,” Too true!!

You are crazy..look at your audience..you are addressing this post to men. You didn’t go into near enough detail…they will never understand. You must show them…they will do it next time.

My kids are the exact same way – leaving dirty dishes strung all over the house, but especially in their room. I just don’t get it – put it in the freakin’ sink! (I don’t have a dishwasher… ).

Now if only we could make a DVD series that they could watch with beer in hand and half naked cheerleaders explaining that and the following”
1. How to make a bed
2. How to separate your underwear from your pants prior to putting it in the hamper.
3. Oh yeah, How to put dirty laundry in the hamper.
4. How to put clean laundry in your drawer

and one of my favorites:

5. How to close the shower curtain when you are finished in the shower.

I totally would buy the series for all of the males in my life.

Oh dear. I have to confess I don’t always put my dirty dishes in the dishwasher right away either.
