On a completely different note, and clearly not as a vehicle to really drive the point home, I recieved a text message today that said
"And no more nagging from me"

Just sayin'

It's only nagging when we have to repeat ourselves.
And we wouldn't have to repeat ourselves if you'd just do what you're fucking told in the first place.

I find that communicating the urgency or otherwise of a request helps. If you ask for something to be done, but don't specify it needs to be done within a certain timeframe, it tends to get added to the *end* of a list. Most of the time, and I know I'm generalising wildly, men appreciate having all the facts.

Men are shit at mind reading. Even Derren Brown. I bet Derren Brown's wife is sick of telling him shit.

Derren Brown's wife is in for a world of trouble

Derren Brown is gay so he doesn't have to put up with all this shit.

Is he?
I didn't pick Evan Davies either. I think my gaydar needs to go back to the shop.

i had dinner with him and his boyfriend
i had no idea who he was. when he said he had to leave because he had to be at work for 3am, i assumed he was just a runner. but he is utterly charming.

^ this ^
the bottom of the list is where shit like cricket and horrible muddy bicycles and hordes of smelly LPs and rustbucket cars live. the top of the list is for important things.

Your mistake there is "telling", not "asking".
If you want to "tell" me to do something you immediately invoke the "do it your fucking self" clause.

facetious reply was facetious.
I actually don't 'tell' me b3th to do things. I ask. With a 'please' and everything. Then if it doesn't get done I assume he has forgotten or has some other reason why he can't do it, and I do it myself. Apparently it's what grown-ups do, or something.

It's what grown ups do, yeah.
Though not what some people in this thread seem to do, which I guess answers my own implied question.
