The Stupid Man, or "DumbDaddy"

I know why they do it.

They do it because the woman is the consumer of the household.

But men make buying decisions too, ya know.
And we don't LIKE to see ourselves portrayed as glazed-eyed, mouth-ajar helpless MORONS.

Daddy can't cook. Daddy can't clean. Daddy can't discipline the child.
Daddy can't control himself in Circuit City.
Daddy runs in circles holding a baby at arm's length.
He has absolutely no idea what it is or why it makes that noise.
Daddy takes the kids to McDonalds because Mom's Not Home.

And the fat single woman watching at home laughs heartily "Ha! It's so true!"

Welcome, flychinook.  You are going to find it fun here.

That is priceless!

The latest batch of this stupidity is American Express for Their Business credit card. Here's the scenario. A small businessman is trying to razzle dazzle these international corporate bigwigs of generic European descent. When it comes time to pay up he whips out a credit card with a picture of a cartoon superhero on it.

If the guy was gracious enough to pick up the tab, why should they bust his balls?
I would probably die as a business-man because I cannot kiss ass very well.
I guess there's a demand for this talent??

Both men & women snickered when he laid down his Spiderman visa card and it looked like he didn't understand it. But.......like Shadow mentioned, he did pay the bill. When they ring up the bill, having a Spiderman pic on your card is meaningless.

Did he have that hurt puppy-dog look on his face?  Did he look bewildered?  'Cause that's the mark of a true talent.

One time when my boyfriend was about to start cleaning the bathroom (after we had just agreed that he had to clean the bathroom if I cleaned the kitchen and vacuumed, and I did my bit) I said to him, "And don't just do a bad job because you think if you do that I won't ask you again."

He looked at me, shocked. "You know about that trick?!"

Most likely the AAA guy.

Yeah, there definitely are exceptions.  There are even repair shops run by women.
