Ewwwww!

Why do the basic ideas of cleanliness elude most men?? We have all heard the stories of the "sniff test" to test the wearibility of laundry. Then there's the blowing their noses in the shower because it just washes down the drain. What the hell is wrong with men?
My husband has brought on this latest rant. Honestly, he's not too bad. His clothes are always clean (thanks in very large part to yours truely). He's always well groomed. Clothes match. I'm a lucky girl. However (there's always a however), some of the assinine shit he does throws me for a loop.
The most recent and biggest deal to me has to do with our dog. She is in heat (that is another completly gross-me-out situation). I have rigged up some little doggie underwear and I am making her wear maxi pads. (damn ingenious, i know) However, she manages to wriggle them off and, for reasons unknown to me, goes to the hallway and shakes herself. (i think this little bitch has it out for me) This splatters disgusting doggie-period blood on the wall. (yes, imagine how i feel) While I'm chasing her down, I put him to cleaning the wall. I know (now) that I should just clean it myself. For whatever damn reason, he grabs my washcloth that is hanging over the kitchen sink. I keep one there at all times for convenience. We have a dishwasher but I wipe counters and whatnot. Anyhow, being my knight in shining armor that he is, he cleans the walls. But wait! What does he do with the now doggie-period blood infested washcloth. Hamper? Nope. Washer? yeah right. HE HANGS IT RIGHT BACK WHERE HE GOT IT! IN MY KITCHEN! ON THE SINK! This sets off an hour long rant that has my blood pressure up and his eyes a-rollin.
I wipe kitchen counters with that! I sometimes wipe my hands when I'm cleaning! I cook food in the kitchen! (the dinner fairy does not Poof! it onto the table!) What the hell?
Here's my favorite part though. He says "well, what am I supposed to use?" I tell him to go grab his washcloth that he uses in the shower then when he's done, put it back and use it later when he takes a shower. Somehow, for some reason, this seems absurd to him. UNCLEAN even. Can you freakin imagine.

Yo yo yo! Nice blog. Not that my opinion is ever taken seriously. I am an evil vacuum afterall...

Keep your pressure down. Buy some of those disposable towels and write your husbands name on them. Men can't live with them, don't want to live without!
