Attacking the Caveman!

Important Note: Apologies in advance to all male readers who walk upright and don't drag their knuckles on the ground!

On arriving back on Monday I was treated to a candlelit dinner and the Man in My Life has been so sweet, so kind and so considerate. Forgive the cynicism but I've been waiting for it all to come crashing down. And it took exactly two days for the honeymoon to be over!

The last few months have exposed me to a really annoying trait that seems to be totally male! It could be because of having an incomplete Y chromosome and not a complete (read perfect) X chromosome.

Why, oh why do men have to take their bad moods out on people around them who have NOTHING to do with the onset of this mood?

Tonight the milk bottles and a sheaf of documents were unceremoniously hurled into the kitchen from the door. All because the stupid woman in the house couldn't take the loot because she, how dare she, was preparing a chicken for supper! This Vesuvial explosion because of a sore finger and "a bad day."

Hey, my day also wasn't that great but I don't recall holding you responsible for it.

Earlier this week I messaged a friend with a simple "?" because you never know who is standing behind someone's desk. There are times when "Can I come over and rip your clothes off?" would be entirely inappropriate! And what is the charmingly rude reply? How does a "Yes?" sound? It does not go down well! Really not well, in fact, it sinks like a rock!

Listen, I understand if you are busy and probably having a day rating a -1.5 on the Happy-Day-O-Meter but a simple "Sorry, can't really chat now" would suffice.

Honestly, this misguided anger is rude, inconsiderate and quite frankly, bloody insulting. Not to mention juvenile, in the first degree.

Get with the programme, boys! If you are in a bad mood, suck it up or have the maturity to talk about it! You are not the beginning and the end of a woman's existence! Don't be surprised if you get the cold shoulder when you come home. Or mysteriously vanish off my chat programme.

PS: Groping does not equal Romantic!

But hey! there's still hope for
them, there's a Male fan on your
blog with a FAB idea. (Darm, why
didn,t I think of that!)

Kyk: I don't think the lure of ME would be enough to entice people down to the doldrums of the Eastern Cape.

M: Technically you can shoot them but there are consequences if you get caught.

TwoFlower: Go figure! Men can't seem to grasp the idea that politeness doesn't cost anything.

GincoLeaves: Same response as for Kyk.

You're so sexy when you're all demure and modest.

Kyk: Spreading the seeds of misinformation.

Cookie Monster: Hi! And thanks for not being offended. You may be right, he may just be rude. The chicken was excellent but I have got three rather nasty burns on my hands and wrists.

Angel: I wish I had thought of that at the time. But I am a bit passive, I just told him I don't need his attitude.

Geena: Need a paper packet? Or a dustbin?

Cookie Monster: Actually, now that you mention it, I should have. Nothing that glam though! The old "too much in a hurry to use oven gloves, used a dish towel instead and roasted and toasted myself whilst trying to grab the somewhat elusive dish of roasting veggies" trick. Oh crap! Don't I just sound domestic!!!!

Ha ha... unfortunately, bad or rude bahviour has little do with the sex of the person. He just happen to be male in your case.
Next time, wack him on the head... like you would a puppy. Betcha he shuts up and cowers in the corner,licking his bruised ego.

Cookie Monster: Again, I am a bit too passive! But I must say, I really do like your style.

Chitty: Hey Poster Boy! Missed having you around. Actually, to be honest, I would be too scared to wack him on the head. You see, a woman should never get aggressive with an aggressive man!
