Ten most annoying habits of the Northern American male (Homo quasi-stupidus):

1) Always leaving a little bit of milk in the jug, or casserole in the dish, etc.

2) Doing this so that they don't have to throw out the jug, wash the dish, etc.

3) Allowing the milk or casserole to evolve to the point of the bronze age before throwing it out.

4) Saying "Yes, dear" when they haven't heard you.

5) Needing to be told where you put the V-8 six times (see 4).

6) Leaving the beer bottle on the counter (table, desk) within fifteen feet of the recycle-bin.

7) Leaving the dishes clogging the sink within two feet of the dirty-dish bin.

8) Allowing said dirty dishes to build to a mound which effectively prevents anyone from actually using the sink to wash them.

9) Knowing how to get places in a city like Boston (I'm not sure if this is a mark of intelligence or insanity, considering Boston geography).

10) Being right when I'm wrong.

8 Comments:

11) Conversations as follows:
"Thank you for not buying a thousand-dollar laptop."
"I wasn't going to." (With mounting enthusiasm) "Although, if I did, I could get a 1.5 gigahertz processor, and..."
"Uh-huh."
"Mmm."
"That's just what I need. Then I'd have TWO computers to fight with for your attention."
"Uh-uh! I can only use one at a time!"
Silence.
"Uh...I just shot myself in the foot, didn't I?"
"That's going on the blog."

Top ten most annoying habits of the North American Woman:

1.) Always throwing out that last bit of Milk, or casserole we (men) were saving for a snack when watching TV --or other doing other activity.

2.) Telling us to was the dish or throw away the trash.

3.)Questioning the fact that we are running a true biological experiment in the fridge when we leave stuff --how do you think penicilin was discovered? Yeh that is right. His wife didn't get to the fridge in time (okay ice box back then)

4.) Saying "Yes, dear" when they haven't heard you.

5.) Ignoring us when we ask simple questions hoping we become telepathic. (See 4)

6.) Not being appreciative of us when we provide you the opportunity to recyle when we leave things near the proper bin for you to dispose of.

7.) Not realizing that everything can go down a drain!

8.) Not realize the engineering accomplishments which could be realized by leaving the sink full!

9.) Not recognizing our (male) internal sense of direction is always right, which by the way is why we never stop and ask for directions.

10.) Not knowing that I am always right.

12) In the middle of a fit of tears, the following, sincerely and bewilderedly:
"Why are you so emotional? Is it because you're a woman? Or did I do something horrible?"
