Women choose to talk to their men when…
by david on Dec.05, 2007, under Misc, Rants
- They are watching TV (I need to concentrate ok? Men can’t multitask as well as you women)
- They are reading (See above)
- They are driving (Contrary to popular belief, driving does require one to be alert)
- They are at the edge of their seats watching an exciting sports event (Look, Formula 1 only comes once every 2 weeks.. and for only 2 hours, why pick that time?)
- They are brushing their teeth (Do you think you will get something intelligible out of us men on any normal occasion? Don’t forget the toothbrush in my mouth)
- They are just about to doze off to sleep /nap (Our brain is preparing to shut down, don’t wake it up!)
I was discussing this with a friend just earlier today. And my conclusion? You women are holding us to ransom. You know we want to get on with what we’re doing, so you pick the times when:
- we can’t run away (the TV is there or we’re on a highway doing 110kph or we’re stuck in a traffic jam)
- we don’t want to miss that goal / overtaking move / smash / hole-in-one, so we listen intently or at least try to
- we don’t want to continue looking silly
So, on behalf of men everywhere… QUIT DOING IT! We know what you’re doing… and we won’t stand for it! Er.. yeah!

tango, foxtrot… you guys need to wisen up laaaa…
Give as good as you can take… so… when they bother you during CSI, Harry Potter, LDP, F1, Colgate or naptime, say “I’ll listen to you only if I get some tonight. If you deign to wait another 5/ 60/ 120/ 480 minutes, you’ll get your time AND your uninterrupted sleep”.
Guaranteed to work unless she is a maniac or a glutton for punishment. Oh yeah, it could backfire on poor Tommy too. Sorry.
