A couple of weeks ago the SO asked, ‘What’s for breakfast?’ I said, ‘I don’t know. There’s some leftover stroganoff…’ She said, 'Stroganoff for breakfast? :dubious: ’ ‘Why not?’ I asked. ‘Because I’m human, not a guy.’
What’s wrong with leftover stroganoff for breakfast? Or cold pizza? Or some beef paneang curry? Or spaghetti? Or meatloaf, hot or cold? Must be a guy thing, not having to have ‘breakfast food’ for breakfast. (I ended up grating some potatoes that day, and we had hashbrowns, eggs, and bacon.)
Gentlemen, what things do you do that your Significant Female just doesn’t understand? Ladies, what does your guy-griend do that makes you shake your head and say, ‘It must be a guy thing.’?
I don’t know that that’s a guy thing.
If there are leftovers from dinner it makes a good breakfast to me.
I don’t care for most breakfast foods anyway.
Of course, REAL men don’t bother with wimpy meals like breakfast. Except maybe that leftover can of beer that doesn’t have cigarette ashes scattered around the mouth.
I like left overs for breakfast but I like to throw in some kind of breakfast food to go with it, maybe eggs or toast and jam. Left over meats mixed into a scramble are my favorites.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that short of bathroom and certain grooming habits, there aren’t that many pure “girl” and “guy” things. Oh, there will be women who swear that women do or don’t X, Y, and Z, and guys who do the same thing about “their” stuff. But they make these judgments based on limited sample sizes.
Mmmm…guy thing, guy thing… Well, I’ve had several guys in my life who would come into the room where I was reading or writing or working on crafts or something, and they’d turn the TV on and then walk out of the room.
Er, um, thanks?
I’m sure there are plenty of women who do the same, and men who wouldn’t dream of it, but it’s filed in my head as a “guy thing.”
