Overheard - contributed by carperson on 04/23/2007Not In The Job DescriptionWoman 1: Do I look like a car mechanic to you? Woman 2: I wouldn't know. I drop our car off here, at reception, then leave. Woman 1: I think Jack thinks that's all I do. Fix things. The car's broken, honey, he says. You mind getting it fixed? The freezer's not freezing the ice cream. Maybe call the freezer guy tomorrow? Who the f*** is a freezer guy? He thinks I know who the freezer guy is? Woman 2: Once I dropped the car off, but the receptionist wasn't at her desk, so I walked into the garage. The mechanics were all wearing hair nets. Woman 1: I'm telling him tonight. You fix the f***ing freezer. It's your ice cream. You call the freezer guy. And let me know who he is after you call him....overhear more --Overheard in: Car Dealer, E Hanover NJ--   This sounds like my husband. - submitted by Fixer on 04/23/2007
This sounds like my husband. He had no clue how frustrating and impossible sometimes getting stuff fixed is. I told him a few times and he kind of laughed. Then I told him again and made sure he understood. He now contributes a lot more, and if he wants it done really fast, then he can do it! Great. She should tell him - submitted by Anonymous on 04/23/2007
Great. She should tell him to fix the freezer. So many guys just take things like this for granted. They're helpless but don't like to admit. It's like training a puppy. - submitted by trainer on 04/23/2007
It's like training a puppy. You tell him and keep telling him, then you refuse to do what's unreasonably and ultimately, if you're lucky, he'll do his business in the bathroom and not on the livingroom floor. my guy used to give me lists - submitted by Anonymous on 04/23/2007
my guy used to give me lists to do when he went to work. i worked at home and i'd say, you know, i work too. he wouldn't take it seriously. i finally said, f-no you do your lists. he did, and everything's been fine since. moral: i don't know. but 1 thing i do know is don't take s++t. just look up freezerman in - submitted by repairexpert on 04/23/2007
just look up freezerman in the yellow pages. every town has them The person with the most - submitted by what'sfair on 04/23/2007
The person with the most time should have to do the most work around the house. Has nothing to do with male-female issues, at least in my house. If I've got time to call a freezer repair man, I will. If not, it'll wait or my partner will do it. speaking on behalf of all - submitted by realman on 04/23/2007
speaking on behalf of all the real men out here in the burbs, the wife should do all the unpleasant home stuff and the husband should work a little and then go our and get plastered with his idiot working friends. no? To the last poster, go back - submitted by Anonymous on 04/23/2007
To the last poster, go back to planet idiot and plaster yourself to the wall. LOL i was kidding. sort of. all - submitted by realman on 04/23/2007
i was kidding. sort of. all i'm saying is, remember the flinstones and the allocation of labor among couples there? well, that wasn't written that way for nothing. it's well worth watching a few seasons again to get stone-eye view of how things work. LOL I don't have to go back to - submitted by Anonymous on 04/23/2007
I don't have to go back to the Flinstones. I can go to the current US Supreme Ct. The good justice Scalia who believes women really oughta only be looked at, not speak and certainly not have jobs. His views also are rooted in Flinstone philosophy. No. Scalia believes women - submitted by legalscholar on 04/23/2007
No. Scalia believes women can speak, but only if answering a direct question from a man. On occasion too the woman may speak if she's not entirely sure how much scotch to pour into her man's cocktail glass. Ha. Shows how much you know. - submitted by Justicescalia on 04/23/2007
Ha. Shows how much you know. Woman may speak if not asked a direct question but only in signs (kind used by deaf people). Did you know that the 3rd - submitted by therapist on 04/24/2007
Did you know that the 3rd most common reason for couples' conflict is disagreement over allocating chores? Guess where sex is? 6. Money is #1. Thanks, therapist, You've - submitted by Anonymous on 04/24/2007
Thanks, therapist, You've cleared everything up. Nice to hear it all can be summarized in #s. Overheard... - submitted by Anonymous on 05/25/2007
After reading some of these, I realize so many women are not properly trained, or, just don't think it necessary to follow orders from their husbands. Maybe we men should stop abiding your poor behavior and throw you out! Certainly, your attitudes would improve in short order. whoa, last poster, are you - submitted by moderngurl on 06/01/2007
whoa, last poster, are you from the dark ages? maybe we women should throw you out. no doubt you haven't had many in your life. go back to your cave and leave the modern world alone. lol modern doesn't mean better - submitted by whatever works on 07/16/2007
