Everybody has faults, but does your other half suffer from the male habits that seem to plague the rest of the male population? Here’s a list of the most annoying habits, and what you can do to fix them.
1. Empty containers …
Men have a habit of leaving empty containers everywhere but in the trash! This starts when they share student accommodation, and have to replace anything that they finish. To kick this habit, start doing it as well, and he’ll soon get fed up of nothing being replaced.
2. Leaving hair in the sink …
Whether they are shaving, or malting, they never pick their hairs out of the sink, in a silent revolt against having to look clean and respectable. There isn’t really much you can do about this one, apart from bribing him to clean up after himself.
3. Using ten cups, instead of one …
It just defies male logic to use the same glass when they can get a clean, sanitized one for each drink. This leads to a sprinkling of dirty glasses all over the house, and no clean glasses when you actually need one. Again, try adopting the habit yourself, and you’ll soon have plenty of clean glasses again!
4. Selective hearing …
Well we’ve all experience this one, so the best way to cure it? Drop some bombshells when you think he’s no longer paying attention. “I’m pregnant” tends to work wonders! After a few shocks, he’s sure to get the hint and stop his mind wondering.
5. Never picking up his laundry …
They’ll be socks under the bed, and underpants in every corner. Simply stop picking it up; and as soon as he runs out of clean underwear he’ll start to put them in the laundry bin when he takes them off.
Oh, and there’s always leaving almost empty containers in the fridge! :) But leaving the socks and underpants all over is my favorite :)
I love your recommendations, I’ll try with my guy. Thanks for all these. :)
Good luck, dear Joy :) It might not be easy at first, but I figured that smart negotiating can truly change a lot in his behavior. The most important part is to praise him when he does the right thing, he’ll like it so much, he’ll never do wrong again :))
Good luck!
I wrote a rebuttle to this article on my website, but for some reason I can’t leave a link back to the article.
It is meant in good fun.
Well…….yea, I guess you have a point there. I’m guilty of almost everything on this list at one point or another.
This is so funny, I actually do most of these things XD (got it from my daddy)
Jane,
Lol so you did get it from a man :p No but seriously I’m guilty of doing some of these things too….Leaving hair behind in the sink and channel surfing for starters. But selective hearing is so totally a guy thing. That and burping and farting …Ugh!
