The Little Things...And The Big Things

Things big and little that continue to annoy girls about guys, according to the latest 'Liz' survey, as featured on our morning show last week:

Here's are the results:

The little things:

- They leave dirty dishes in the sink (sometimes even dirty paper plates!)
- They leave dirty dishes on the table or in the living room or anywhere else in the house without even BRINGING THEM to the sink.
- They are freer with spitting, passing gas, and burping than girls are, sometimes even getting a kick out of themselves for doing so.....but they DON'T think it's 'ladylike' for girls to do the same (not that we would!)
- They throw dirty clothes in the direction of the hamper instead of IN it, or, even worse, just leave the dirty clothes wherever they were taken off, even if that's in the middle of the living room rug.
- They don't change the toilet paper roll when they use the last of it.
-They genuinely don't seem to mind the messiness they create or feel the urge to clean it up.

The bigger things:
- They make jokes when you're trying to make a point.
- They always think they are right even when they clearly aren't.
- They don't jump up to help with their crying babies or to change poopy diapers.
- They forget to say sweet things to you or get you little gifts anymore, taking you for granted more and more as the years go by...unless, of course, they want something.
- They don't call when they say they will and then don't understand why that upsets you.
- They sometimes tell what they consider little white lies so as to avoid hurting your feelings or incriminating themselves.
- They say they're listening when they're really just nodding and not paying attention.
- They have a way of defending themselves that somehow twists things around to make YOU feel like YOU'RE the one that's wrong.
- They still leave the bulk of the house chores to the woman regardless of whether or not she also has a job outside the home.
