Hello!

One of the biggest mistakes that I believe we as women make is assuming that our significant others want us to make their lives easier.

We do the most ridiculous things like purchase laundry hampers and then place them in locations which are convenient for our partners to access – only to have them throw their dirty garments onto the floor within centimetres of the hamper itself.

We put their tools away in cupboards which have been labeled according to what’s inside.

“Tools”, “Car Cleaning”, “Screws, Nuts and Bolts” –  only to have them turn to us in their time of desperate searching to ask us where their belongings could possibly be.

They’re Suddenly ‘Blind’

Perhaps the funniest part is that before turning to us in a state of sheer panic, they actually attempt to search in all of these places – only to not actually ‘see’ what they’re looking for.

It’s not a matter of “finding it”- heavens no, any fool can FIND a drill in the cupboard marked “power tools”!

They simply cannot SEE the item they are looking for even when it’s staring them straight in the face!

It’s a constant occurrence as well. I mean it’s not as though after the first ten times of showing them where it is they miraculously remember.

I’m The Hero!

No, for the last ten years I’ve had to be the seeker of my husband’s “missing” things and it’s almost as though we are our partner’s heroes when it comes to locating anything they need.

Maybe they enjoy this game they play!

What if it’s some sort of activity that all the blokes play against their significant others!

“Honey have you seen my…?” could all just be an act! For their entertainment!

Or maybe it’s love? Perhaps these men are actually so incredibly blinded by their love for us that they can’t actually ‘see’ anything else!

Either way I will never grow tired of the reaction I get every single time my hubby asks me whether I’ve seen his missing possessions and I accuse him of being in love with me!

Repaying the irritation he causes me with more irritation – priceless!

Are your partners conveniently blind at the most inconvenient times? Tell us in the comments below.

  • This so relates. My husband puts things down and leaves them there. Then complains when the puppy (when she was little) takes them for a walk. Seriously. They are blind – like walking in when you are flustered trying to make dinner, lunches and get ready and ask Can I help??? Really – even if you say yes they just sit there. Mine has a new habit of scrolling through Facebook at top volume. He has no idea how annoying it is. Men just leave clothes on the floor and then wonder why they are dirty. I know they cant be changed but how do we cope ????

  • Men are a bit lazy and can’t help that they’re wired to not see details. There’s literally very little going on in their mind and they just don’t think to think about things but they can’t help it!

  • I think they get a little lazy when we do things for them just like kids so stop doing so much for them all the time

  • Oh my goodness this is my husband to the tee – I constantly say to him that if he had put his tool or whatever it was in its rightful place, we wouldn’t be wasting our time looking for things. I also now tell him that we have wasted weeks over the years looking for his keys, wallet, tools etc…Ah!! Constant!

  • My late husband was a lot like this too, unless it was his fishing gear. That he always knew where his favourite lure was or that lucky hook. He had his priorities right for sure.

  • Ha. Ha. Yes, it happens regularly with my husband too! 🙂

  • This is my husband, especially with the laundry hamper. Although, I’m not 100% sure if he’s ‘blind’ or just lazy!

  • Yep, I get asked where this are all the time. My reply is “where it’s been for the last several years”

  • I have noticed this also!

  • Thats funny???? I have the same issue but its not with tools but rather finding things in the fridge or pantry. I always hear “wheres the butter?” Or “where’s the cheese” and it is pretty much staring them in the face!!!

  • Hilarious! My hubby is just like the article and he goes off at me for putting his tools away in so called ‘random’ locations

  • I honestly don’t understand it!! I’m trying to teach my son while he is young to change this

  • So true ! My husband knows where to find the plates bowls and glasses in the cupboard, but doesn’t know where to tidy them up in the cupboard. And on many occasions he’s suddenly helpless because he can’t find things… I often have a big laugh, it’s just too funny 😉

  • Mine is blind ???????????? how many time i will find things exactly when i told him it will be ( and he was looking there)

  • It must be neurological – men seem wired differently. Domestic Blindness is very common.

  • Hahaha I love every word posted because it seems like my life at times. I sometimes feel my organization of my partners belongings causes it to become his disorganization in my eyes. If I leave things as they are he has no problem finding things, the moment I tidy up it becomes chaos and nothing but frustration for him. Ahh I don’t know whether to laugh or cry sometimes.

  • Oh god every single time. Lol. They are all the same!

    Reply

  • My hubby is always useless at finding stuff right in front of him haha

  • My husband is pretty good at knowing where most things are! The tools are mine and I’m never happy when someone else touches them… tho I’m usually responsible for putting them down and losing them when I blink, which amuses my husband to no end!
