He's a doofus for not actually talking to his wife and asking for clarification of what he didn't understand; even a man should grasp that one doesn't buy 6 bottles of milk at a time.

but there in lies the problem with your statement Woman have been misrepresenting what they want for ages and expecting men to understand them.

all in the hopes of making men less manly and more feminine.

she could have said get 1 bottle of milk and 6 bananas. that way there is noting to confuse adding further instructions was unneeded. in my book He listened well and she just did not realized he was a good follower of directions.


I should add a bakery buys way more then 6 at a time :D

A bakery, sure... a single woman IS NOT A BAKERY. If he thought she really said she wanted 6 bottles of milk, some vestige of intelligence should have kicked in and had him ask "do you really want 6 bottles of milk?" Asking for clarification is in no way feminine; it is merely intelligent. I can see that her syntax was less than perfect, but anyone with a shred of common sense should have been able to figure it out. Or at least, ask for clarification.

now your asking him to foretell weather they have bananas or not to ask a clarifier after all she only said if. yes he could have asked if she in deed wanted 6 milks if they had bananas but then they would have argued over his stupidity and she would ignore her error. but to play devil's advocate here he could have correctly inferred she wanted 1 and 6 then she would not have learned to give proper directions and next time it would could have been worse.

yes intelligence swings both ways. you can not call a man stupid for not asking without calling her stupid for not asking correctly. they both did something wrong however it was her error that caused his error. his first error was an oversight in assuming she wanted 6 milks. growing up that was a 3 day supply for my household so it was not uncommon.

Family of 5.
2 coffee drinkers
5 cereal eaters
3 pudding lovers
2 cookie lovers.

so yes 6 milks could be asked for.

And, as a coder, I'm glad that my wife is more intelligent than the woman in the coders meme.

Lord Mage does have a point. Many women suffer from princess syndrome to one degree or another and expect men to decipher what they want, need, or say, rather than just being upfront and asking or saying what they should. Not just on personal levels either. In business, it's a lot different dealing with a female lead on a client project than with a male lead. Sometimes the ambiguity leads to novel development that can be utilized for future projects, but more often it leads to longer dev time and multiple rewrites of code portions both large and sometimes even highly specialized user interfaces that appeal, by and large, only to the particular lead (keystroke remapping and behavior modification is a fairly common and unsound request).

You may be right. I've always been a very UN-typical woman, because I figured out many years ago that men aren't psychic; if you want or expect something from them, you have to tell them, sometimes even draw them a map with circles and arrows. :D Getting one's nose out of joint because the man didn't read your mind is just stupid -- men don't understand women even with a map with circles and arrows; there is no possible hope if the desire is not even communicated. And people who can't communicate clearly have amused and infuriated me for most of my life. I'm a Gemini -- I should have "Born to Communicate" as a tattoo. :giggle:

I for one would NEVER send my mate to the store without a list -- and if there's anything on it which isn't perfectly clear, I'll explain it to him, or he might even ask. He drives a forklift (though he did actually write code, in the USMC), but he's a smart guy -- and I'm his 2nd wife, so he's learned a lot, over the years. :D

If he had texted a picture of six bottles of milk in a grocery cart too her with the words "anything else while I'm here?" he would have had her bananas too thus saving another trip to the store. Of course, if he had stopped at the liquor store on the way home and picked up a handle of good bourbon............

A young Bernadette Peters? My husband is in lust with her. I'll have to email him this pic, give him something nice to look at while he's at work with a bunch of idiots and slackers. :D

That hurts just to look at. I stopped being able to lie on my stomach at about 3 mos pregnant, and have never regained it. :D Just hugging my son is painful!
