You'll learn, one way or another, you'll learn. lol Your biggest miscalculation of all is that you won't get laid for a week. It'll be more like a month or two.

I work in women's clothing and the number of men I had to help put together outfits for their wives this week was maddening. I really wanted to say "get her something else", but of course I couldn't. Most of them were making horrid comments about how fat their wives were and how stuff wouldn't fit and how she had no waistline, etc... A gift certificate would have been more merciful, imho.

Quoting: SecondPrecession Or unless it's a Dyson. I was about to say the same thing. I'd sell my firstborn for a Dyson ;) Dysons are really overrated...they do the same job as any other vacuum. I've seen alot of them on the curb for the garbage man. And when they break or need repair you'll be paying for them over and over again. But hey, look it's the "gift" that keeps on giving! ;) Dysons suck! |

You missed your chance... you should have attached a nice note to the vacuum promising to vacuum the entire house weekly for an entire year. I notice you "guys" ignored this.... wonder why :) Reminds me of a true story when a friend of mine was pregnant. Her husband said since she was pregnant he would help with the housework. She asked him to do the vacuuming. After the first vacuuming, he said it was too hard for him to do and he didn't want to vacuum anymore... HELLO ?! . __________ ____ |

How do you make? And for any rudeness, ie violating the trust of friendship and marriage and introducting abuse, thats called heading for divorce. Vacuums don't make good presents they're just tools needed for homes. Presents are personal, they celebrate the joy of their presence. By the way, most women don't do things to roofs. I dont even go near spiders. Last Edited by Sungaze_At_Dawn on 12/25/2011 01:55 PM The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist. The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist.

Water Flower User ID: 6532065 United States 12/25/2011 02:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i'm still waiting for a larger fridge. :( somehow, i see that a flat screen is more important (for him) than a fridge for the family. jewelry is useless and i buy my own clothing as needed. a patch of land for gardening would be nice, but it's not going to happen where i live unless i move out of town. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7471800 That's also what I told my husband and that's what I got. He's finally starting to listen to me. I hate when he buys me clothes that don't fit or perfume (yuk) or jewelry (waste of money IMO). |

But then, I'm old, and a good appliance is everything, lol lol lol. Chin up OP, if your wife is practical, a week down the road she'll be happy about it. Cheers! Great Spirit, make me ready, for that last sunset, and my Spirit will come to you without shame. |

As for housework, she needed a vacuum to clean up after you! ;) All is divine in your minds eye. :snbanner: |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1372469 United States 12/25/2011 03:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Household appliances are NOT adequate Christmas Gifts! No woman want's to be told she needs to vacuum more, or do the laundry more, or whatever, and that's the subtle message that comes along with appliances. The other thing is that these are just things you need to run the house with. Like doors or windows or a sink or a stove. You wouldn't gift wrap a garbage disposal, would you? (Well, maybe you would - but no thinking male would dare do such a stupid thing unless he was hoping for a divorce in the coming year!!) |

Oh, I wouldn't say no woman because all you really need to run the house is a mop and bucket, a sink, a dustcloth, scrub brush and some Comet. Things that save time and labor are much appreciated by some. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 7706018 United States 12/25/2011 03:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My husband has you beat! Years ago on our FIRST Christmas he got me a Hoover Vacuum Cleaner and a slinky, low cut, shorty nightgown...I was disappointed but did not say a word...I put on that nightgown and I vacuumed that whole place..I acted happy to do it...I thanked him for the gift..Because you see ,he took the time to really TRY to make me happy... Needless to say after about 5 years of marriage I started letting him know what I would like to have. Merry Christmas Everyone! A good woman indeed...atleast she realised "it's the thought that counts". Seriously why wouldn't a women want something that will make their lives or work more easier and freeing-up time so that they can rest/relax more with the extra time given them everyday from now on? |
