Do you have to ask? (nag?) or.. Why don't you listen?(nag?)...or Can you please turn off the tv so we can talk about it? (nag)...Well there is some of it. How about this; the reasons we nag at times:
Drops dirty socks beside the hamper and can't quite seem to ever get them inside the hamper.
Falls asleep with remote balancing on stomach, snoring so the neighbors are complaining and when we try to take the remote...wakes up immediately.
Wet towels on bathroom floor
Garbage overflowing and has to be reminded to take it out.
OH...the all American best one ever...LEAVES TOILET SEAT UP...although I have a large enough posterior end so this doesn't bother ME (don't fall through), my sister's husband is notorious for this one and she DOES fall through.
Leaves coffee cups all over the house..on glass shelves...grrrrrrrr.
I am sure there are more but if you guys would listen the first time we mention something like socks outside the hamper or toilet seats that are up maybe we wouldn't mention it again??? OH...I get it.....you just want to watch us bend over to pick up the socks...ahhh what a view or you are perhaps getting a good laugh watch us trying to bail our butts out of the tolilet after we fall thru and hit that cold water???? HMMMMM???
I do alot of the things that Conn. Pam mentioned. My wife does not nag too often. My marriage may have issues that need to be worked on, but luckily I can't add that to the list.
We don't think the same way. That's it! What bothers us doesn't bother you, therefore Nag!!
In our family, my husband is the one who nags. My experience is the more particular person will be the nagger. I'm a go with the flow kind of person. I really don't care if a dish is left in the sink but my husband will nag if one is. He'll nag if he thinks it's been too long since I mopped the floors, or someone left a towel on the bathroom floor, or the trash needs to be taken out, or the bed's not made, etc, etc, etc....
We're in for a major nag session on Sunday. It's spring break and the only thing I've worked on is schoolwork. Come Sunday, he'll be on a real rant because the house isn't spotless. He'll point out all the things I didn't do and all the time I had to do them. If he had it his way, the maid would visit every day and keep everything spit polished. I figure housework is a waste of time because you just have to do it again tomorrow.
I don't think nagging is a gender thing so much as a not feeling you're getting what you want out of a relationship thing. I don't expect much from my relationships so I don't have to nag. My husband expects a lot and nags when he doesn't get it.
I suppose I could save myself some grief and actually clean the house today. But it's sunny and my bike is calling and my daughter wants to go see a movie and kids grow up so fast....

Pams got it down! I hate having to say please dont make me B....ch. Why do women have to continually ask men to do certain things or not do certain things like you guys a 4 year old.
I am greatful that my bf never leaves the seat up.

I've gotten in some bad habits with an all guy household.
Things like just always leaving the seats up....wandering in, not closing the door etc.
Caught myself almost peeing in-front of mother-in-law during last visit then remembered to shut the door. lol.

LOL. I have lived with all guys since I left home. Husband or bf, 2 sons, 2 grandsons, brother and newphews. There are few female in my family. I wouldnt even notice if a guy whipped it out and peed in front of me. Men have no shame.
