I came home from work to see that Julie had decided she was going to clean one of our closets. Fine.

She takes some of the old clothes and coats and whatnot and puts them in a plastic bag, to be dropped off at a Salvation Army box thing. Fine.

A week goes by and the bag is still sitting there. Ok.

Two weeks later and it's still there...ooooook.

Last night I mention in passing that, maybe she could bring the bag with her the next morning. She replies that I should have taken it out of here a long time ago.

Can someone explain how that damn bag became my friggin responsibility?
 
Let me also add that I was not even home when she cleaned out the closet.
 
Paul, it doesn't have to be garbage in the plastic bag. If anything is in a plastic bag ready for removal, it a man's job to remove it.

*howling with laughter*
 
Things like that are supposed to make us feel important Paul.Don't ask me why though.My wife does that with the laundry.She starts a load,and ask me why I didn't put them in the dryer.:rolleyes: I told her the next time I change the oil in her car she has to put the new oil in.:D
 
I agree with ciggie. And as I replied in the thread listing responses to men's cool stuff and womens cool stuff. Women love to confuse men.

Just like a wife asking do I look fat in this? Answer yes, she gets mad. Answer no, and she figures you think she is fat but don't look fat in what she is wearing.

Thankfully for me I am SINGLE. And for my health and a long life I guess I had better stay that way, huh?:lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

It's a gender conspiracy. No wonder we live fewer years than they do.

My wife recycles everything [plastic, tin, glass, aluminum, newspapers] into plastic bags and stacks them in the garage, in the entry way, in the kitchen and finally fills the hallway. My only recourse after whining, yelling, and cussing is to gather it all up and take it to the recycle center. I should take it to the dump but if I got caught [no matter how justified] I'd never hear the end of it.

And.....I discovered last week that the recycle center takes all but the aluminum to the dump. The landfill is like some sort of safe deposit box. They BURY all the recyclables in separate areas, thoroughly mapping a grid while claiming they can go get it all when it is economically feasable to ship to the lower 48. SURE!!! :mad:

He's not kidding too...........:D
 
You can always use TWF's patented line..."Yes, Dear". This is usually followed by anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 months of inactivity. Shortly after this, the cookware starts flying in his general direction.

On second thought, maybe you don't want to use that line. Just take the "damn bag".
 
Rules for platic bag removal can be found on page 674, paragraph 14, section 24 line36a of the "Women's Rule Book"


This book brought to you by the same people who write the NASCAR rule book.:ROFLMFAO:


It's one of those things known as "a livin' deal"

:jumping: I knew it was written somewhere nascarwomen.:p
 
My wife likes to leave stuff she wants to keep in plastic bags too. Then she puts it by the back porch where the trash goes. Then, if I get rid of it by accident, it's my fault. So, in short...I feel ya!

DITTO that, especially the "howling with laughter". I certainly got a good chuckle out of it. Couldn't help myself. I didn't really start laughing out loud until I got to the part where "that is so wrong". I'm not saying it's right, but it sure is funny.
