Decyphering Men: Drawers
Question
Why is it that every time a man opens a drawer to retrieve something he never returns it to its closed status?
Facts
1. My husband's sock drawer is left open each morning.
2. My husband's underwear drawer is left open each morning.
3. My husband's pajama drawer is left open most nights. Then he bumps his shin on it the next morning and wonders how the drawer was left open in the first place.
4. Most occasions he leaves the silverware drawer, his desk drawer, and any other drawer open each time he touches the handle or pull knob.
Hypothesis
From the facts stated above I can confidently suggest the following statement:
The reason men leave drawers open is either a) they are simply dumb when it comes to drawers -OR- b) they are lazy and inconsiderate of the person who always pushes the drawer back to its closed position, usually their wife or girlfriend.
Research
I asked my husband why he leaves every drawer he touches open. His response? I do not! Denial. I told him he does and gave the dresser drawers in the mornings as my example. Oh, well, I don't know. (Dumb, maybe?) I guess I just forget. (Lazy and inconsiderate, definitely.) I honestly don't understand how he can just forget to close the drawers. I mean, he sits on the edge of the bed with the open drawers right smack-dab in front of his face as he puts his socks on every morning.
Conclusion
Both guesses could very well be true. Maybe men just don't understand the "complexity" of how a drawer operates. Maybe they are just lazy. Maybe they think it's funny when someone else bumps their ankle or shin on that open drawer while making the bed. Argh! The point is that they aren't going to change. Men will continue to leave their sock drawer or underwear drawer open every time they reach inside to retrieve their skivvies after a shower. That is men. That is the way their minds work.

Ahh, but in our natural environment (ie. single) we don't use draws. We simply put things on things. Its you girls who force us to put things away. Then you wonder why we aren't too good at shutting draws!
My husband used to drop his clothes at the foot of the dirty clothes hamper. It would have killed him to put them IN the hamper. One day we got our first puppy and that puppy taught my husband how to put his clothes IN the hamper. That puppy chewed holes in two pair of his new blue jeans...That cured him quick! Ahhh, man's best friend......I say, leave the drawers open and let the kids scatter his clothes all over the house...No that probably wouldn't work either...You could get a puppy!
