What people say and what they really mean

[Richardp]

My dad has been saying this for about 20 years ' i'm going up for half an hour on top of the bed ' Why say that when we all no for a fact that he's gonna be there for at least an hour and a half and that he's gonna be snuggled up under the covers. And then he gets up and moans that he's had no sleep even though everyone heard him snoring his head off

Hey! thats what I do

"in a minute"

has lots of meanings.....
don't hold your breath
never
from 1 minute.... until eternity
they'll come back 1/2 hr later with ....huh?...what did you say?

too many to list....

 

[gasmarkone]

Him...."Yep, we'll do that then, love"

Means 'Haven't been listening'.

Is it just me.....?

NO its not as ....
"Yes dear ! whatever you say .."
has the same meaning too lol

Seriously, moz I just don't listen. Quite good at guessing what she's on about. Women always talk when you want to watch/listen to something else. And if he roles are reversed its "shut up I'm watching this"

I'm not suggesting you do the same...heaven forbid...you'd be payin dearly for it....but could you just ....in a nice way....ask her to wait until such and such is over? Or at least acknowledge that you heard her....that's always nice.

But mlb, 'she's a woman"!!!!!!

But mlb, 'she's a woman"!!!!!!

sooooo? she's still a person...who probably just wants some attention...albeit bad timing....so what's a little eye contact (2nd thought maybe not-unless you have a poker face) or a gentle smile...could be a win/win situation.

"Women always *NAG* when you want to watch/listen to something else"

[gasmarkone]

I know, I love her really. But I do find multi tasking difficult. Watching/ listening, just not on
