I think that, these days, she's more likely to be decomposing ...

I don't think it's been mentioned in the thread before, and I have a feeling it might never again.

What job can men do that women cannot?
Teabagging.

If you need to ask what that is, please do not google it, especially not without filters and doubly so if you're on the google images tab.

Hmmm, not really a job though Or am I looking in the wrong Sits Vacant?

Anyway, if you want to go down that road, birds are better at and and they've got the equipment for the best

Well it is if certain cards in London phone boxes are to be believed.

Less of this sort of thing! Anyway, those kinds of arguements only come from peopele who arent open enough about their...ahem... to hang around ....different types of club occasionally. Both men and women Im told are very good at....certain things....not that I would know of course.

How meny you men know how to use a washing machine please tell me how you wash your clothes and how meny you ended up with pink or white clothes being ruined?

Its electronic, see, got buttons and dials and everything, course I can use it.

My husband is *much* better at ironing than me, and hasn't had a mishap with the washing machine yet - if their mums didn't train them to use one and you have let this state of affairs carry on then you only have yourself to blame

Washing machines are an example of something that has been vastly overengineered by male designers, who like all the buttons and settings and dials etc. Most women will use just three of the multitude of possible settings...

Wow, there's different settings

I've got the perfect multi-function household appliance.


Mrs SWL

An oddity, mine is only ever set on 'D' for any type of wash except the rare wooly jumper. Which gets and 'E'.
Still has many pretty shiny buttons though, some still with their cellophane on

On mine I use 40 degree for almost everything, 60 degree for sheets and towels and (very rarely) 30-Delicate for stuff that reckons it is dry-clean only All of the other settings (and a couple of buttons I've never touched) are never used...

Prefer a 50 wash since a lot of germs will survive a 40.

I do exactly the same, kelli. Can't be bothered with anything other than 40, 60 and the odd rinse and spin when we forget to take the clothes out quickly enough.

Thread re-title required

What jobs do women overcomplicate and men let them as that way we don't have to bother with the mundane?

Communication?

Cleaning. We should all live in teflon houses.

Shutting doors. You're good at opening them, but never quite got the hang of shutting them....

Oooo, you cant use that one, my mother practically was born in a barn it seems. And she tries to talk through closed doors too.
