SoiBiker Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 It probably is exactly the same. But she doesn't want the outdoor crap all over the floors indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Yes, at one time these brooms probably were identical, but she decided one was for indoor use and the other was for outdoors and yes, it's because she doesn't want the outdoor stuff all over the indoors. These brooms are no longer identical because of their use history. I can guarantee you the "outdoors" broom is dirtier than the indoor broom. How can she tell the difference? She probably stores them in different places when not in use. Haven't you ever noticed? And don't use this as an excuse to never help again by saying "last time I ever try to help". That's a standard male cop-out for what is called "selective incompetence". Instead become more observant about the procedures used to run the household and ask questions before you dive in. Respect her way of doing things and learn from her instead of belittling her when she gets angry because you screw up and create more work for her.

Now tell us how you feel - how your really; really feel. Remember selective incompetence can work both ways - it is not always a male thing. How many times have we hard headed males had to be the one to read the instruction sheet to get something working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMA_FARANG Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) How old is she? Sounds like my ex Thai girlfriend when she reached her 60's. All human beings are subject to illusions and delusions..... it is what they want to believe. When I worked on the island of Crete ALL the fuel (petrol) came via ship to exactly three petrol storage tanks. ALL the petrol from the mainland refineries was brought by ship and stored in one of those three storage tanks. Hence all the petrol was mixed together in storage. Then petrol tank trucks would unload petrol from those 3 storage tanks....and take it to a petrol station where it would be sold under its own brand name. There was a lot of advertising about petrol from XXXX company being superior to petrol from YYYY company. But all the petrol was from the 3 same storage tanks....and mixed together in storage....and therefore ALL petrol you purchased in the stations was a mixture of ALL brands from different refineries and was mixed together in storage no matter what the brand name was on the petrol station. But there were drivers who only bought petroll from XXXX company because it was better than the pettrol from YYYY company. That's what humans like to believe....illusions and delusions.

I cannot remember which liquids go where in our washing machine, even though there are only two liquids (detergent and conditioner) and two compartments for those liquids. My partner has told me a dozen times but it never sinks in. Now I have a name for my condition, if not an excuse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manfredtillmann Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'd be ashamed if I didn't know how to sweep a floor, wash my own clothes, or cook myself a meal. It's like never learning to dress yourself or tie your own shoes. Weird how some people seem to be proud of being helpless. i would not even live if i could not look after myself. have done so for many, many years. but: i would be a complete fool if i would assist my wife, who's entire existence (and that of her children and mother) depends on MY foreign earned income, in basic tasks such as cleaning and cooking. the most i do is lift my feet when she sweeps... i make the money and she looks after me in return.

sirineou Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) What is this world coming too? First indoor/outdoor brooms, now insulting a mans sweeping abilities!!!

Berty100 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Helpless men-children with no idea how to look after themselves belittling those who care for them is not something I'd call 'humour'.Another 1 with no understanding of sarcasm It must be sad to live in such a serious world !! Sadder to reach adulthood and still be clueless about a task as simple as sweeping a floor. Oh dear, it was a joke... Just saw the brush and took a photo, made the whole thing up..

Congratulations, you have taken the whole thread from sad to pathetic. The Thread might had being a jock, but it does raises a very important issue that is challenging today's society and requires further examination. For too long people , with reckless disregard for civil society,we have being commingling exterior brooms with those used inside.IMO it is anarchy that could lead to the breakdown of society as we know it. And what is one to make of those who use brooms outside but vacuum cleaners inside? I know that humor has no part in the life of someone named HooHaa but one needs to make an attempt, if not for the sake of this forum, but for the sake of society. And think of the children, will you, What about the children!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khundon Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Any Thai wife worth her salt, would ensure her husband knew which brush was to be used inside, by shoving the correct one up his ar@e. He would then be able to choose the correct one, even in the dark, simply by the feel of the handle. Edited July 10, 2016 by khundon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Lincoln's Inn and the other Inns but Lincoln Inns I don't recall. Indeed the delights of aging are infinite in their ways, I put the ''s'' after Lincoln as opposed to after ' Inn.'' certainly a point to be seized upon in a vigorous cross examination of a witness.
