Is it my imagination, or do all guys HAVE to wear their shirts (and some other clothing) until they don't even classify as a garment anymore?


Every time I put away laundry I am baffled by the amount of old, opposed to new shirts I hang in the closet, and he insists that this is what makes shirts comfortable. I managed to toss a few pairs of old scivvy's out without him going in to overdrive, but he would totally know if I got rid of the emphamous HOLEY shirts. UGH!!!

Let me tell ya, we moved a month ago and I totally refused to take a bunch of crap we didn't need or use so I went through clothes. Ok, I'll admit I had alot of clothes that I never even looked at much less put on. My DH had just as many as I did believe it or not. I found this stash of shirts and sweaters in the farrrrrr back of the closet that were his from JUNIOR HIGH. YES, Junior High!! My DH is 35 years old. Gotta love him. You would have thought I was trying to cut off his right leg and sell it in a garage sale. But a comprimise (SP?) was reached and all but one T-shirt went. Thank God. Do you remember what sweaters looked like in the 80's? NOT PRETTY!!! Not too long ago he had a shirt on and I reached through the hole, pinched him in the stomach and told him that if I could get more than my pinky finger in the hole it had to go. Guys are creatures of comfort. We are the ones that will squeeze our size 12 butt into a size 10 pair of pants or our size 9 foot into a size 8 shoe and walk around the mall for 8 hours. Any way I know where your coming from girl you have my sympathy.

Yes, men are like that. My Dh insists on keeping his "swiss cheese" shirts. Eventually, they will fall apart then I won't have to worry about it anymore. Of course, it is a slow process. My new shirts get holes quicker than his holey ones. What's with that?

UGH!


I just don't know what to do about it. Last night, he wore this Manson shirt to bed, and when I met him, it was new, but now there are about 5 holes in it, and he HAS to wear it. I was able to touch his skin wherever my hand was, and I laughed, I just kept laughing. Could you imagine what our men would do if we started dressing like them? They would freak! Now, holey underwear is a whole other ball game.

You know,


I think our clothes may fall apart faster because the people know that we will buy more, I mean it guves us an excuse to go shopping, and WHY THE HELL NOT!! Men on the other hand, will expose their genitals through holes in their clothes before they will shop for something new. Imagine what this world would be like if women didn't run it-ugh-I don't even know where to begin!

What would this world be like without women? That's a scary thought. Tomorrow I'm going to the laundromat by myself and am going to "lose" a few of his shirts. He still doesn't realize I do this. Or I will continually put a yucky shirt at the bottom of the basket and leave it for a few weeks until he thinks HE lost it while doing laundry. It's evil and time consuming, but it works!
