The difference between men and women

Sounds fair - thanks for the info

Easy...some men are mad, ALL women are mad

You should never explain to a woman the reason why they are right. They know they are right and it should be obvious to everyone. If you go explaining the reasoning for them being right, then you will be in the wrong for assuming that they know they are right purely due to 'feminine intuition' and thus implying that they aren't capable of logical thought.

Central Heating thermostat:

1. You go away and leave the thermostat low, or the heating off. You come back home and it's, say 15C in the house, but you would like it to be 20C.
Man sets thermostat to 20C.
Woman sets thermostat to 25C, to warm it up faster.

2. Weather turns colder outside.
Man verifies that thermostat is set to 20C because that is what is wanted.
Woman sets thermostat a little higher, to compensate for cold weather, then sets it lower again when weather turns warmer.

They just do it to annoy you. They're evil, not stupid.

Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow ... I suggest princesses wake up and start trying ...

I'm sure you'll keep trying.

I'm sure you'll keep trying.

Why? Im not a princess.

I wish I was. Would be handy to be one and get away with the crap that they do in our lenient society.

Woke up this morning, house is freezing.
#1 son had turned the heating up to max so house was too hot. Wifey had then turned heating all the way down so that the house would cool down quicker.

Bit gutted about the thermostat explanation. I was sure I was right and wife was stupid.

I'm forever telling her the thermostat is there so that the temp is what you want and that turning it up higher just makes it too hot inside regardless of the temp outside.

Then again, I;m sure if it was up to her it'd be on 30 degrees constantly.

I used to go out on Friday evenings for sauna etc with me mates. Used to come home sometimes and walk into living room and she'd have had the heating on plus gas fire on full blast and it was I reckon hotter than the sauna. So hot you could hardly breathe in there!

Not only is it possible to be right for the wrong reason, it is also possible to wrong for the right reason.

I used to run a servicemans bar in the outer Hebrides with my first wife. One of my jobs was to order stock which is a pretty straight forward task, except you can never afford to run out of anything, especially up there, and especially with squaddies.
So when I was ordering for the Chritmas and new years period, I doubled up on everything, then got some extra 'just in case'

Our little stock room was bursting with cases of whiskey and barrels of beer. Wifey was calling me an idiot, because we could not move. I explained that the troops would be spending two weeks drinking like fish, and that they would barely be sober for the whole time.

And I was right. But they did it on the mainland. The bastids all went on leave and left me looking like a right tool
