Battle of the sexes?
18/05/2011
Following a double page spread in the Daily Mail on habits that men have which annoy women I threw the subject open for discussion on Sky News Sunrise 7 then on Twitter and the floodgates opened!
Here is just a taster of some of the responses I got on Twitter:
@ QUINNY66 - jangling their change - sends me crazy (and not in a good way)
@alan2119 Wife said there are only two - everything I do, everything I say :-)
@brownbog newspaper finger print marks on the doors that get me! (Guardian) Mind u I don't mind the morning coffee in bed routine
@OohArrDarlin very true, but there are also things men *don't do that drive us mad! Like replacing the loo roll or putting the seat down!
@DavidMuggeson Crunchimg any sweets while watching TV with her Savant hearing seems to annoy !
@pallaskenrygal Sitting watching tv he comes in are you watching this DOH.....yes....can I change it!!!!! No I'm watching something!!! HATE IT
@beccahilliar pick his nose and trumping.. Drives me round the bend.. Also if I have a headache he has a migraine.. Competative illness!
Top of the list of annoyances for women was men breathing – I kid you not. Snoring, panting, puffing were all there. As were men tapping their fingers – on tables, on car dashboards, on the back of the TV remote control – it drives you girls wild, in the worst way. Bad bedroom habits and personal hygiene aside, channel hopping, lack of conversation, grunting, sleeping on the coach, that toilet seat thing that no man really understands were all there. In the interest of fairness, I’m going to open it out to the guys - as the girls have had their say – but are they as perfect as they make out? Should people in glass houses throw stones – leave a comment and let me know your thoughts…

My website is on Teenage depression.
They hear what we say, translate it into something we don't mean and then remember it forever to use as a weapon whenever it suits them!
They're obsessed with items such as handbags and fail to understand why we don't understand why they are yet THEY don't understand why some of us are obsessed with items such as trainers or football shirts.
They'll briefly mention something they'd like for their birthday or christmas six months before the event and then seem amazed that it doesn't arrive on the day!
They don't see humour in farting.
Cushions. Enough said.
The moan that the television is full of sport yet spend hour upon hour staring at soaps and daytime TV.
They moan about us falling asleep in front of the TV. So what if we do!!!
If a man tells a woman he doesn't like something, a woman will make it her mission in life to get hims to do or try it again in an effort to prove that he's wrong.
I could go on.... and on.... and on.....
