Heh. Yeah, my ex-boyfriend was like that a lot.
Thankfully, my roomie isn't like that in terms of doing things himself I say he can't or shouldn't. (Well, not very often, anyway.) Instead, he tends to be a pain about pestering me about things I say I can't do. (Like me driving. I've tried telling him than someone who's uncoordinated, has lousy far sight ability, has a terrible spacial sense, and generally doesn't do well at concentrating on more than one thing at a time is not the sort of person you want behind a steering wheel. He's tried telling me I'd get better with practice. Yeah, right, just like I got better at sports with practice, which I suck at because they require many of the same skills as proper driving. But anyhoo.)
The other thing he does that annoys me is not listen to me. I'll say we should do something a certain way, and he'll ignore me and do it a different way. And, of course, it nearly always turns out that we should have done it the way I suggested, or at least a way that's intermediate between our ideas. Quite frankly I don't find being able to say "I told you so" as satisfying as simply having stuff go right the first time.
I love all you men, I really do, but why do you have to be so stubborn?
Peace & Luv, Liz
