GRRRR!! MEN!

I usually put the cover back in the drawer while the wedger is in the dishwasher. Who knows where he put it!

Off to order a replacement part. :)
 
I have a basket on the counter that's for covers when tools are being used.

Of course, even though it was DH's idea, he doesn't use it. :)
 
I had a host that her husband threw away the scraper for the garlic press b/c he did not know what it was for and thought it was junk!!!
 
Why is it so hard to leave it in the drawer? My pizza cutter cover, self sharpening knife covers, etc. are all left in the drawer by me, but my DH takes them off wherever he is working and then they get dirty and I have to wash them too!!

D@mn husbands!!
 
For some reason they just don't understand!!! I keep hoping someday that he will get it, but I think it's just wishful thinking!!
 
I agree! My dh does the same thing!! Men!!!:rolleyes:
 
Funny - just found the "missing covers" for my BBQ fork and turner that my hubby claimed were missing. There were right in the bottom of the handing basket on the wall that holds all the nylons tools, right where they were left when they were taken off. :)
 
:p :p :pIt could be worse - you could find the covers but not the tools.:p :p :p
 
Quit defending your kind, KG... there is no helping them!! :)

If you followed The Kat Lady around the kitchen, you might not be so quick to blast only the men.

And she'll tell you that, too. ;)

BTW - next time you need your oil checked or a tire changed, I'm busy.

I can drive my car to the mechanic just as good as my husband can!!:D
 
You'd better not drive to the mechanic on a flat tire!

Good one Jennifer!

My biggest pet peeve is that my DH will unload things from the dishwasher, and put them back in the drawer NEXT to their covers.! I guess I should be thankful he unloads the dishwasher though....

HAHAHAHA!!!!
 
My dad was smart enough to use my BBQ turner on the hot grill without removing the plastic cover...
 
My daddy raised me right and taught me how to check oil and change a tire- so there :D
 
Ditto Gillian - I've changed more tires than I can count - 90% of them on vans. (Always carry a hydraulic jack in my vehicle though! - don't like putting a van up on those cheap cranking ones and watching it sway).

But, there is NOTHING like tearing apart a brand new car with a Hearst tool! :) He-he...
 
That's ok...my hubby will unload the dishwasher once in a while and just stack things on the counters if he "claims" he doesn't know where they go. HELLO! We've lived in this house how long? And how long have those bowls gone in the SAME cabinet?

Again...guess I should be thankful that he does it!:rolleyes:
 
My DH doesn't touch the DW, and I am thankful... I am so anal about the way it is loaded and how all my stuff is put away in the cupboards. My MIL used to do it to help out when she was babysitting and it would take me a week to recover my kitchen!!
 
Oh...in no way, shape, or form is he allowed to load it! When he does, I have to reposition everything!!! He just doesn't do it right!!!
 
I am glad someone knows what I am talking about... I am sure the plates don't get any cleaner when loaded MY way, but I will totally reposition EVERYTHING to where it GOES!!
 
once you buy the replacement part you will find the cover that always happens to me
 
Don't order the replacement until you say a prayer to St. Anthony! He's the greatest, never lets me down! One time, I was really disappointed because he didn't help me find a flashlight I was looking for to pack for a camping trip, and when we started setting up camp, it appeared in one of the bags! Totally crazy.

"Dear St. Anthony, please look around. (fill in the blank) is lost and cannot be found"

Seriously...it works. Sometimes I have to say it a hundred times, but it works!
 
LOL! I am going to try that next time I lose something... I will probably lose this post before then and be praying to the wrong Saint!!

St. Anthony = lost items
St. Jude = hopeless causes
St. Dymphna = mental illness
St. Anne = mothers and housewives
St. Cecilia = musicians

St. Louis = Missouri
 
I coulda said St. Louis = Cardinals.Our local Archbishop came here from St. Louis and he's wearing a Brewers hat now. The only way anyone wants to see him wearing a Cardinal hat again is if it doesn't have a visor.
