So - I go to collect the garbage to put by the curb tommorrow morning, and I find one bag in the garage full of maggots.
After I finish freaking out I relatively calmly take the bag to the curb now, instead of waiting and wash out the garbage can.Then I call my husband and tell him what happened. His response "Oh yeah, I saw them this morning" :rolleyes: I ask why didn't he do something. Not much of a coherent response. I ask why didn't he at least tell me so I could have cleaned it up earlier. Also not much of a response. Now I know my husband has a problem with bugs. I saw it a few times with the very large cockroaches in Houston. But would he admit it? Not on your life. Full of excuses. He was leaving for work, what could he do? Plenty IMO Just ranting. Any other women here have stories about thier husbands or SO's wimping out with poor excuses?

I'd ask you not to make generalizations about all men on the basis of your husband. Thank you.

Some of the men I work with are wimps when it comes to being ill. They manage to do a full days work and yet claim they have 'the flu'. I have met some none whimpy men though too. Wouldn't want anyone to think I was generalising. |

If they do a full days work when they have the flu how does that make them whimy about being sick? BTW - I was being light hearted in my last post. Hence the .

Because in reality they don't have the flu, all they have is a sniffel, but they call it the flu because they are whimpy. It didn't seem light hearted, despite the . I guess thats the problem with the net, without the benefit of seeing someones face or hearing their tone you can't always be sure of their full meaning.

Continuing in the light-hearted vein (remember, I said light-hearted), you know how you always see those "men working" signs -- well, men have to put up signs to let people know they're working, but women just plain get the job done without having to announce it.

Edited for bating. So anytime I use the term "hate speech" as you have defined it, you will consider that "baiting"? |

Ok, I'm a wimp when I get really sick. I dont get sick very often, but when I do, its really bad. I usually cant move off the couch or my bed. I often exaggerate the issue if I have a woman around to take care of me though.

OK, I'll admit it. I get faint at the sight of blood. Not like a papercut type thing, but if there's a lot of it, I start to loose conciousness. I don't know why, I can watch the goriest of horror movies and it doesn't bother me. But then again, neither do bugs. |

I, my dear Miss Minuet, am not a wimp. I am a man's man. The last of the full grown men. I eat meat and drink beer. I pillage nearby villages and make merry with their comliest wenches. I shoot animals for food, including fish (I don't need no steenkeeng poles). I once accidentally spat on an elephant, and it knocked the elephant back 20 feet. I can stand on my front porch, pee off the side, and change the course of mighty rivers. In 1997, NASA had a failure in one of the booster rockets for the Space Shuttle, so they called me to come over and throw the Shuttle into orbit. Which I did. On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered round and gazed in wide wonder at the joy they had found. The head nurse spoke up. She said,'Leave this one alone.' She could tell right away I was bad to the bone. |

But the true test of manhood, UncleSlickhead, is how you deal with maggots not how far you can pee.....

I could clean maggots off of something with a hose, as long as I dont have to touch them.
