How come men can't find anything

Rating: 4.6 after 5 votes

This morning I had to keep myself from slapping my husband again (just kidding) because he couldn't find the kids gloves. They are in the same place since 5 years and I wonder how it is possible that he can't find them when they are in front of his nose.

Even if I tell him exactly where to find them, he tells me they are not there. In some mysterious way the gloves reappear when they hear me approach LOL. I could even find them blindfolded.

THis drives me completely nuts. Guys rather ask then look and even if they look they don't see it. GRRRRR.

Anyone with similar experiences ??

My husband isn't really like that but my daughter is. She drives me crazy! She can look and look and not find something, I walk up and it's right in front of me. She's 9 and this is a rather new thing with her and I hope she grows out of it or something soon!; ▶ Reply to This

When he looks for things it's always on the surface. Doesn't bother to lift the newspaper or move the juice out of the way to find the butter. I always say to him: "Do you require assistance?" And now our 4 year old daughter is like that. It's funny but can also be a bit frustrating.; ▶ Reply to This

Since my husband was driving he tried to find the gum but it wasn't there.
Him: "it's not here, are you sure you put it here ?"
Me: "sure, I did it myself so I am sure"
Him: "there is nothing here, you must have eaten them all"
Me: "I didn't eat them, they are there 100 % sure"
Him: "Really, I've looked everywhere"

In the side of the door are my sunglasses and my entrance card to the gym so really not much. And the space to put stuff in is about 30 cm X 5 cm.

When we arrive home, hubby gets out and looks again. Guess what he found ??? The gum YEP. Guess what he said ?
"They were completely on the bottom !!!! no wonder I couldn't find them"

For us, organization is essential! Our son, 6, suggested we label each drawer in his dresser. It worked out great for us. There's hope for us all!; ▶ Reply to This

He asks where something is, I tell him, he goes there and he comes back "hmm are you sure cause I don't "see" it. I know have started saying..."if I go there and find the item where I said it was you owe me .25 cents" I should be really rich by now...lol
