While there are exceptions to every rule, the fact remains that the rule exists. Most women, like men, will behave in certain expected ways, especially once in a committed relationship. Some of us may be lucky enough to find a woman who somehow manages to break all the rules, but those are about as common as unicorns, and let\u2019s just face facts here, there\u2019s no such thing as unicorns. These are the 15 most annoying things that most girlfriends do, and yes \u2014 you have to put up with all of them.<\/p>\n

Random Item Relocation<\/h5>\n

\"01\"<\/p>\n

Nothing could be more vexing to realize while heading out the door than that you have no idea<\/em> to where your hat, jacket, or even shoes have disappeared to. Girlfriends have an uncanny knack for arbitrarily deciding that there is a proper place for an item you have improperly<\/em> placed for months, or even years on end \u2014 without incident. When you finally exhaust your searching abilities and ask them where they\u2019ve hidden your stuff, their response is nearly always that it\u2019s where it belongs. Where that may be, only they will know.<\/p>\n

Unwanted \u201cOrganization\u201d of Your Stuff<\/h5>\n

\"02\"<\/p>\n

Much like the singular item relocation, girlfriends will take it upon themselves to upgrade your imperfect<\/em> organization of stuff, your stuff. Whether it\u2019s your DVD collection, your sock drawer, or everything in the kitchen<\/strong>, she\u2019ll completely overhaul the system you had going. Trying to explain to them that you even had<\/em> a system to begin with is a waste of breath, since they will promptly explain to you that that isn\u2019t really a system at all and that their way is the right<\/em> way.<\/p>\n

Constant Overdressing<\/h5>\n

\"03\"<\/p>\n

Whether you feel like going to McDonald\u2019s or the classy joint downtown, your girlfriend will likely dress as though you\u2019re going to a fancy soir\u00e9e and spend no less than an hour preparing for it. It doesn\u2019t matter that you\u2019ll only need about two minutes to put on your jeans and find where she\u2019s hidden your socks. To the same tune; when winter starts dropping the temperature, she\u2019ll begin dressing as though there\u2019s a blizzard outside when it\u2019s barely cold enough for a sweatshirt. Her excuse for this is usually that her ears get cold<\/em>, when it\u2019s far more likely that she doesn\u2019t like her light<\/em> jacket anymore, and wants to wear her parka because it\u2019s cuter<\/em>.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s Late for Everything<\/em><\/h5>\n

\"04\"<\/p>\n

There is no difference between getting ready to go to the bar, out to dinner, out to a movie, to see your parents, or to cross the street and sit at the park. Girlfriends often feel the need to spend an hour (or three) preparing themselves for the outing. If you wise up to this early, and give them a full five hours warning, they will wait until 20 minutes beforehand to begin this preparation. Despite decades of intense social-study on the subject, there is no logical explanation for this.<\/p>\n

The Sheer Amount of Toiletries She Needs<\/h5>\n

\"05\"<\/p>\n

Men like to keep their bathrooms distinctly spartan, that is until a girlfriend arrives and inevitably stakes her claim. We tend to have a couple of items to support our shaving habits, some deodorant, shampoo, soap and a toothbrush. She, however, will bring half of Walgreens with her and set it up on every conceivable flat surface she can find, and possibly even add some shelving to facilitate the takeover.<\/p>\n

She Whines About Everything<\/h5>\n

\"06\"<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

Work, another woman\u2019s hair, her own hair, her thighs, another woman\u2019s thighs, the weather, her mother, your mother, your socks; it really doesn\u2019t matter what the subject is, because she can and will whine about everything<\/strong>. Things that guys don\u2019t even think about seem to irk<\/em> women, and they all come out when a girlfriend takes root in your life.<\/p>\n

Pillows \u2013 Millions<\/em> of Pillows<\/h5>\n

\"07\"<\/p>\n

One might think that beds are made for sleeping<\/em> in, but they\u2019d be wrong. Apparently, unbeknownst to men everywhere, beds are in fact made to hold as many pillows as possible. Only a fraction of the pillows present are actually functional at any given point in time, while the rest are there for some unstated purpose. Sleeping on the bed requires several minutes of relocating pillows to suitable locations, which of course will be designated by the woman who placed them to begin with.<\/p>\n

She Can\u2019t Just Let Food Be Food<\/h5>\n

\"08\"<\/p>\n

Guys don\u2019t have a problem coming home to a fridge full of beer, bread, ketchup and hot dogs. We\u2019ll be happy as clams in front of the TV with our minimalistic, efficient foodstuffs. Women can\u2019t live like that; they need to have something different every<\/em> day, and whatever it is, it can\u2019t be plain. It has to be dressed up, special, gourmet<\/em>. Ideally speaking, women wouldn\u2019t even eat at home if they could help it \u2014 there\u2019d always be \u201cthat cute little place\u201d downtown. Whatever that place is, it changes with the weather.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s Attached to Her Phone<\/h5>\n

\"09\"<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re in the middle of dinner, a movie, a shower, or even sex (it\u2019s happened to more guys than would ever admit it), most girlfriends are absolutely attached<\/em> to their phones. They don\u2019t actually have to accomplish anything on them, they just have to have<\/em> them nearby. Usually, it\u2019s a marathon round of texting that began six years ago when they met their best friend, and hasn\u2019t ceased since. During the texting lull, however, you can count on her chatting away incessantly with any number of people, up to and including your own mother.<\/p>\n

She Cries at the Drop of a Hat<\/h5>\n

\"10\"<\/p>\n

It could have been because she stubbed her toe, or it could have been because she thought<\/em> she stubbed her toe, and the idea of stubbing her toe was stressful enough an event to cause her to cry. Whatever the case may be, she cries at least once a week for what seems like no discernible reason. Technically, there\u2019s always a reason, but it almost always winds up existing solely in her own head.<\/p>\n

Movies: She Ruins Their Very Existence<\/h5>\n

\"11\"<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t so much because she talks during your favorite part, or that she can\u2019t stop fidgeting or playing with her phone during the movie. Those things are true, but the main problem here is a combination of her taste in movies, her insistence that you watch the movies she wants to see, and her (likely) complete lack of desire to actually pay enough attention to movies you<\/em> want to watch to actually learn to enjoy them. On the whole, the effect is ruinous. Just bear with her on the chick flicks, and when you want to see something \u2014 leave her at home<\/strong>. You\u2019ll enjoy it so much more that way.<\/p>\n

She Can\u2019t Be Content Just Staying Home<\/h5>\n

\"12\"<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

Primary motivation for guys to go out all the time as single males is because<\/em> they\u2019re single males. We go out, whether we realize it or not, with the understanding that we stand a better chance of getting laid that way. Once we have a girlfriend, the going out dwindles to a minimum, and it doesn\u2019t so much phase the majority of us if we\u2019re happy in our relationship. Women on the other hand, feel an intense urge to go out<\/em>. They want to dress up, to be in public, to feel like socialites, and their logic is simple: They\u2019ve got a closet full of fancy clothes they don\u2019t need to wear at home.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s Got a Selectively Perfect Memory<\/h5>\n

\"13\"<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

Girlfriends remember every single fight we\u2019ve ever had with them. They\u2019ve got them all, stored and cataloged in their minds for use at a later date, but they only ever seem to remember the arguments in which they came out the victor. They also remember every single time we\u2019ve been late for something, or forgotten something they wanted us to remember. They remember everything with crystal clarity \u2014 when they want to<\/strong>. Otherwise, mysterious memory lapses just seem to strike at the oddest moments.<\/p>\n

Constant Guilt-Tripping and Martyrdom<\/h5>\n

\"14\"<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

This seems to go hand in hand with the selective memory and the crying at the drop of a hat. Women can claim martyrdom as a last resort to win any argument, while crying<\/em>. They might make an outlandish claim, such as \u201cI always cook dinner,\u201d even if you actually cook three times a week. They might claim to clean the house, when in fact you divide cleaning chores evenly. There are any number of ways they can guilt-trip guys into folding in an argument, and they use them according to need.<\/p>\n

Deeming All Things Technical to be Unimportant<\/h5>\n

\"15\"<\/p>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n

Possibly one of the most irksome behaviors exhibited by women today, especially once they\u2019re comfortable with their relationships, is utter disregard for the technical aspect of a thing. When a man sees a sports car, he likely recognizes it for the engine, suspension, equipment and any number of other things aside from the obvious fact that it looks good. Women will look at it and say \u201coooh it\u2019s cute!\u201d They want the newest smartphone not for its hardware or software, but because it looks new<\/em>. They don\u2019t care how something works, they just expect it to work. This behavior is largely responsible for the amount of times women will drive a car absolutely devoid of oil for two weeks while they wonder why on earth the warning light is on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
