Women wield all the power. Sometimes we just allow you think that you are in charge, because .......well we are sweet like that!
Well, most of you are sweet, I agree. But is that the part of your dream that happens just before you wake up and realize you were dreaming? Most women don't have too many dates that guys didn't ask them out for. | |

Tell that to your SO with a straight face, then I'll be impressed... | |

We all know any man worth his salt will try to assert his manhood in whatever way he can. This time it proved to be a mistake. Whoops!  A bigger man would have fessed up and fixed it. Obviously he wasn't. Little man. | |

Posted: 2/16/2009 11:49:24 PM | Ohhhh Gawd, been there done that and had to sit through my "man" trying to do exactly what l already did....like what you're magic and it will suddenly just miraculously fix itself because YOU put your hands on it? Grrrr, puh leeeze.
I also love the "man" asking me a question and then not only arguing with me about the answer but also asking someone else the same question only to get the same answer and take their advice instead, like WHA?
And l am only talking about men because they are the ones l deal with. I know there are women like this too. | |

Even if the thing had problems before he put it down, at least she wasn't riding around freezing her butt off before he put his grubby little hands on it. So I'd say if he ever wanted anything from her ever again, and yes I'd play the no nookie card on this one because he totally disrespected her and forced her to be uncomfortable for a LONG time, he would fork up the cash to pay for the window repair.
Maybe next time he'll think twice before forcing himself on her helpless belongings and tearing them up. | |

Birds of a feather...
Yanno, hard as this might be for you to believe...some of us do know our a$$ from an onion...guess which one I am. 
I'm surprised at some of the comments saying this thread is somehow gender-specific in any way...don't any of the men have any stories about dumba$$ stunts their ladies might have pulled??
I'll add one...same couple, actually... (this is how I start my week, listening to the hilarious, chaotic stories from this coworker, lol). Turns out, she too has her 'cowboy' moments as well.
Her property taxes for her car were recently due...so she went to get a money order for it since she doesn't have a chequing account I guess, and asked the clerk for one in the amount of $98.50. Her fella said "No hon, it's $98.75." A bit of back and forth, (and of course, she was just itching to try to turn the tables on him from the window escapade) and she finally said "Listen, I think I KNOW what my own car taxes cost, this ain't my first rodeo pal" . Well, in the end, she confessed she ended up eating crow with him, when she got home and realized yep, he was right, it WAS $98.75. So now she has to get a money order for the amount of a quarter, because she can't just drop one in the mail, and in our area, if you go down in person to pay it, they add on a $5.00 fee because they're trying to get everyone to do everything online these days. She came into work laughing, and saying "Yeah, of course he couldn't just let it die, so yeah, I guess this WAS my first rodeo after all".
So it's not just the men, people! ;) | |

Ahem...so would that by default make the man the a$$ then, I gather?  | |

Posted: 2/17/2009 3:41:41 AM | anyone attempting to do a repair on "GLASS" in the middle of winter without it being in a heated garage shouldnt be allowed near it......first red flag there
Since i have self labeled myself as a know-it-all type i thought i could comment.
I am both stuborn and Mr. Fix it but i am also the type that would have never left it broken. I am the type that would keep breaking it worse till it was corrected and then put back together..lol... sooner or later after you take apart all those pieces you are bound to find the piece causing the issue...LMAO.... If not then just keep dismantaling till it is discovered.
I agree with what others have said. If it was above his abilities and he made it worse he should have taken care of it. If i didnt break it but try to fix it and fail due to limitations placed upon me by the person with the broken item then i always let them handle it on their own.
I don't think i have been in that spot too often though.
I can however relate that it is NOT gender specific. There does seem to be some kind of milestone many women seem to try to reach. That whole I can kick my own tires, get car fixed, etc.
Been with one like that before and just shut my mouth while the guy was talking to her saying yeah you flugalbinder gummed up your thingamobod causing the whatchamacallit to break. Gonna be $400 labor to replace the part and the parts "LIST" price is $98. she was gonna do it too and believed the guy at the repair shop till i finally convinced her to wait till after lunch before deciding. While she was cooking lunch I went down to the parts store and paid $19. for that $98 part and spent the next 25 minutes changing the thermostate that the $400 labor cost was for. I didnt even ask her for the $19.
Moral of the story Sometimes it ISN'T someone's first rodeo and not acting so proud can save you HUNDREDS and/or from being taken advantage of by someone trying to cover overhead costs seeing $$$$$ signs when women come in with that "I am not a idiot" routine.
some of those were funny thank you for the laugh | |
