Men around the house.

I hear my girlfriends ranting about their partners, that drives me nuts and bored me to tears - the listening part! i honestly have no answer for any of it and lately it came about men around the house. of course i can't help but to think about some useless past just for notes exchanging session since i have no one to rant about these days... now one of the classic ones...

Why is it that men don't just hire other men to do the work around the house that they are really not qualified to do themselves? They will spend hours, literally hours, doing the same thing over and over again, still not fixing the problem, getting angrier and angrier; swearing, yelling, demanding "why?" and never think to themselves..."Hey, I don't know what I am doing, perhaps I should call a Professional.

Wait, let me rephrase that... they will spend hours "fixing" something they don't have the first clue even how to fix, getting angrier and angrier, until they make it worse, then it is really broken and then they finally have no other choice, they have to call a Professional. Usually then it will end up costing three times as much as it would have to just call the Professional who probably would have fixed the original problem in one-to-three hours, without the drama.

Some men like to think they are capable fixing anything...I think they like to get themselves upset over these things.  Otherwise, at the first sign of "Hey I have no idea" they would pick up the phone and make the smart call. Now I know there are probably certain men somewhere out there who call the Professional right away when they know they are not qualified for the job, so I don't assume all of you...just speaking from my own experiences in general.

There is no shame in being intelligent about solving life's problems, and the most intelligent thing to do is get a Professional's help!  If you don't know what you are doing get help; call a Professional, read a manual...don't just get mad and make the problem worse. Just file this under "a woman's common sense."
