How to be invisible

I am having a hissy fit because I have three bags of trash to go out and I have three able bodied men trailing leaves and debris in and out from the garden since they are clearing a shed and NOT ONE of them can pick up a bag and throw in out as they pass.
Next time I want a bit of peace and quiet I am going to clamber inside a(clean) trash bag and enjoy HOURS of uninterupted peace! I may even take in a torch and my magazine.
hiss.

Hm..I don't know. You know that men think differently than women and what may bother a woman or seems common sense to a woman may not
be for a man.
This being said...did you actually ASK anyone of
these men to take the bags out for you?
I know we all think that men can see inside of our heads and should know what we are thinking, but they really can't and sometimes we do need to just ask.
My son's and husband would do anything that I want...but, I do have to ask. Hard to do, I know, sense we think that they should actually
already KNOW to do this before asking.
I bet if you asked, it would happen!

That is so the truth! I always have to tell myself that my hubby literally does not see that huge pile of trash he just stepped over. He'll do anything if I ask, but, like you I do have to ask! My mom gets so frustrated with my dad, I'll call and she'll say well, I'm dusting while your dad is just sitting on his a$$ watching me instead of helping, and I ask did you ask him??? Nope, never, we think they're supposed to read our minds (well, heck, I guess thats only fair since we have to read theirs - LOL).

Oh good Lord, mine tells me exactly what's on his mind!
In triplicate, no less!
Just in case I missed it the first two times.

shelagh 77 I was just saying my son walks right past a garbage bag that is full and ready to go and apparently has a gene in his makeup that will not let him see a full garbage bag let alone pick it ups and carry out where it belongs. so lets hiss together okay.

I agree this is totally insane, but I swear, men just do not see those things that need to be done! Next time one walks by, just yell - hey, would you take that with you, probably never occurred to them to take it out (wish I could use the emoticons, cause I'd love to put rolley eyes here).
