You know you think like a guy when ...

[E]

I got a toolbox last Christmas, full of tools (a hammer, some of those scissor-like-but-blunt thingies, screwdrivers, those metal cylinders with geometrical cutouts in the middle, some unidentifiable doohickeys, stuff like that).

Last time I opened it was last Christmas.


I do, however, pile my laundry into three piles: Clean, clean enough (i.e., worn once), and not clean enough. When I wash it, I sort into "black" and "will soon be black". That's thinking like a guy, right ? Ah, well, that'll probably change once I actually get some clothes that aren't just "hide my body as much as possible"..

I do that too except I have black, will soon be black, and grays that used to be white.

My one (ex-)white shirt is a copy of Jayne's Blue Sun shirt from Firefly - it looking less than brand new is practically mandatory.

I have greys that used to be white, but I also have a handful of pinkish that used to be white.

Maroon hoodies should not be washed with white athletic socks.

i actually owned a ramones shirt that i liked much better once it turned that subtle pink, but then it somehow got scorched on new years... maybe i should try and discolor another one

Same thing happened to me, but it was with a Barbarella shirt.  This looks better on a pale pink background:

You don't have to turn the circuit breaker off to change the

wall outlet because as long as you're not grounded and

don't touch this wh..why..errrr...ahhhhhhh. SHUT IT OFF,

Going from heather's post:
You know you are a qualified electrician, mechanic, plumber, and carpenter even if your only experience comes from watching This Old House and The Red Green Show.

Red Green...

...knows he thinks like a man

but he can change,

if he has to,

he guesses.

Just google it.

I'm not going to iron this, it's just going to get wrinkled on the way there anyway.

No, I don't have too many hats =[

This hat is called a gatsby, and this is a trilby, and this is a fedora, and this is a flat cap, and this is a....

I'm 100% sure I can put this suit in the washing machine.

You can spell washing machine, and know what it's used for.

ROFL!

I actually taught my ex how to use one, and I thought it was bizarre she didn't know how to use one (she's mtf). 

AND the thing with the suit actually worked out, so can't complain =)

Lol!

Some of us have lived on our own, you know...eventually one figures these things out. Or learns to like smelling like a hobo.

Oh I know that guys. Just joking.
When I was pretending to be a guy I used to put my shirts under the mattress so I didn't have to iron them.

Cindy, I think that actively removing wrinkles at all counts as "you know you think like a girl when." 
I admit, I'll toss things in with the next load of laundry if they're more wrinkle than shirt, but that's about it.

Ahh, Never thought of it that way. Mmm feel all gooey.
I even used to try and get creases in my jeans. I was the only 'guy' with ironed jeans at work. I was also the only 'guy' who used perfumed talc in her wet suit (used to hide it like crazy ) when surfing. Probably the only 'guy' who did use talc at all .

Oh well. The little slips we make.

My jeans or more formal clothes must have the correct creases and all my clothes MUST be folded exactly right and exactly the same as any other article of clothing with the same attributes. I  have issues.

Oh no, he has those beefy arms, wants me to iron his clothes and then spank me.

Damn what's the down side.

Yes quite well from memory
