Ranting for the New Year

I thought it was about time I ranted blogged some thing other than knitting, stitching or quizzes. I have therefore decided the way forward is to explain a few things about life and men from my personal point of view.

Men are in fact strange creatures that only other men can understand.

Now before you all start thinking ‘oh dear, man hater’ I will point out I do not hate men at all, its just I struggle to understand the strangeness of these creatures.

Take for instance my man, I say mine not in the ‘the man that belongs to me’ way but as in my fella, my boyfriend, my partner – ok I think you get the point right?

Anyway, my bloke had a moan at me about text messages yesterday, he said I sent him a message and he was annoyed I called a few minutes later, he pretty much said that I flood him with messages and why cant I understand if he doesn’t answer he must be busy. That is a fair comment as a stand-alone statement but its never simple is it? And I can assure you that this was not as simple as that either.

Basically he was due to go out for a meal with some mates and all I asked was what time are you going out. The reason for my ‘interrogation’ was that I am not well and I wanted to see if it would be ok if he dropped the DVDs back to the library for me on the way through town. But nooo asking a favour implies I am trying to be controlling and horrible *yes I was also stunned* so when the talk at the end of the evening turned to my controlling, impatient text-a-holic-ness I asked how it figures that when I am at work and am busy and he sends me a message saying call me, how is it that if I don’t call back within 90 seconds I either get a follow up message or he calls my number instead. I pointed out that sometimes I am in a meeting and will not answer my phone or reply to messages as its rude, and sometimes I have to go make coffee and tea and I don’t hear my phone, and sometimes I have to go down stairs or upstairs for things that need doing.

I love my man because after I pointed out his text habits he closed his mouth and didn’t say another word!!

Come on did you expect a sorry? Really?
