Why is it.....?

[Cantw8]

...when I tell DH that a light bulb blew out, he must flip the switch himself? Does he not believe me? Why would I lie about something that lame

 

[Tigger_Magic]

It's a guy thing.

 

[Stitch Inside]

Same reason we will smell something a friend smells and says, "Ugh, smell this."

 

[hugsquared]

Why is my husband at your house changing a light bulb (but testing the switch first)?

Q: How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: One. ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they figured it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS. But if they did, by some miracle, actually find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID @*!#$% LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY? BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS... I'm sorry...what did you ask me?

so true....

Does he also look confused, as if this is the first bulb EVER to blow out? Then, he gives the, "Huh....it is out." Yeah, I KNOW!

 

[TKERBELL]

these are the same people that when they lose something we tell them where it is they still can't find it so we go where we said it was and find it right away because they could not be bothered with moving anything that might be in front of it!!!!

or they think the dishwasher empties and reloads all by itself so they just put the dirty dishes in the sink.....


Oh but I love that man of mine more than life itself and if those are the only issues he and I have then I think I am in a successful marriage- !!!!!

Yes He got up this morning and I said, "By the way, the lightbulb in the hallway blew out last night, just so you know." I then rolled over and tried to catch a few more winks. I hear him in the hallway, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK as he is frantically flipping the switch. Then I hear the, "Huh...it is out." I guess maybe he thought I didn't know how to work the switch properly

Is the bulb replaced yet? Are we all happy campers????

Mine always shakes it to hear the broken filament. Yep, it's broke.

I once told DH not to drink the milk because it had gone bad. So he proceeded to drink out of the carton and spit the spoiled milk in the sink. He then had the nerve to ask me "Why did you let me drink that?"

Be thankful he's not someone who wets their finger and then sticks it in the socket to make sure there's still power flowing to it!

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

I'm not a guy (I don't think), but I would do the exact same thing. It's sort of a reflex.

My DH is an electrical contractor and he acts as though there has to be some other, deeper problem than just a blown bulb. You can see the wheels turning in his head trying to identify every possible problem.

I don't even tell mine anymore, I don't think he knows how to change one. I just go ahead and change the bulb when one goes out.
