10 Things Chics Would Like To Toss Of Ours
1) His New Laptop
Because when he buys a laptop (or any other shiny, new gadget), it is inevitable that he will spend the rest of the weekend installing the latest, geek-chic operating system, playing around with Skype, and fiddling with the display theme
2) His Gaming System Du Jour
Because we sympathize with Xbox Girl. We really do. Especially because we experienced a similarly frustrating scenario when our man became addicted to World of Warcraft. We were so tempted to sneak into his system and delete his account. (But we didn’t!) Come on, man. At least indulge us with some two-player games! Study: Men More Likely To Be Video Game Addicts [3]
3) His iPod
Because he often fiddles with it in the car instead of watching the road, and we fear for our lives. For the love of god.
4) His Red Bull
Because it makes his breath smell like cough medicine. No kisses for him! Slim Jims could go, too, come to think of it.
5) His “Adult Entertainment” Collection
Because… well… we have nothing against pornography. Heck, we even have our own naughty drawer. But the sheer volume of your Penthouse stash makes us nervous, and we totally wish that you’d invest in something naughty that we could enjoy together. Porn: When It Helps & When It Hurts [4]
6) His Bedspread That Looks Like a Throwback to the ’70s
And the gargoyle he made in elementary school. And everything else that effs up the feng shui we so carefully created in our shared abode.
7) His Dirty Laundry
Because, for some reason, it never ends up in the hamper. Rather, it ends up in a growing pile in front of the closet door, and then his shoes can’t be put away and end up where we’re sure to trip over them and, someday, we’re going to break our necks because of the damn laundry pile.

8) That Old T-Shirt With The Holes In It
Because people sometimes think we’re dating [6] a homeless man.
9) His DVD Collection
Because, sometimes, it seems that all he ever watches are cartoons. We love the occasional Family Guy and South Park episodes, but we also like to watch real people moving across the screen now and again. 3 Things Weeds Teaches Us About Love [7]
10) His Blackberry
The worst offender of all, we’d like to do a lot more than just toss it out the window. We’ve actually had dreams of taking a sledgehammer to it, or throwing it out of a fast-moving car. Because he’s always checking it—when we’re out to dinner, when we’re in the car together, when we have company over—and such behavior is rude. We love you, but it’s rude.
