Why do men leave dirty towels, socks & underpants on the floor, instead of putting them in the laundry basket?

Is it just me, or do other women have men who leave stuff on the floor?
I have often wondered if my husband has a defect in his spine which prevents him bending over, picking up dirty towels or items of clothing and then placing them in the laundry basket.
His side of the bedroom also looks like someone has pulled every item of clothing out of the dresser and then heaved it on the floor.
BTW I do not pick up the stuff on his side of the room!
I’m also not a Stepford wife.

Nope Daisia that doesn’t work either. I went so far as to put a small hamper on his side of the bed. Did it work? No, just took up more space with all the clothes laying around it instead of in it. And no, I don’t pick up after him either. The only real solution? Make him leave and take his laundry with him.
Same reason why they leave empty boxes in the cupboard or empty milk containers in the fridge.
They’re retarded.
don’t know what you’re talking about.
In my house, its my wife and daughter that have to be called back to clean up the bathroom. me and my son are carry-in carry-out.
I’m the one who leaves clothes on the floor in the bathroom and beside the bed. My husband’s dirty clothes are always in the hamper, he never leaves stuff laying around.
Not me. I don’t do that.
Because to put them IN the hamper would somehow make them less of a man, I guess.
Men sometimes just don’t give a sh*t about things like that. They figure they go to work and earn the money, so anything else above and beyond that is optional.
And yes, he probably does have a defect….it’s called head-in-a*s disease. My husband suffers from the same thing.
I do put that stuff in the basket but everything else I just throw anywhere
Not all men do this! Your man very well may and I have a feeling that you have proceeded to pick up after him. Therefore he does it because he has not need to stop. I personally do not have this issue. As well I have raised four son’s who do not do this. That would really not go over well in my house. I would pick the clothing up once and throw them all away. The idea of smelly dirty laundry laying all over my bedroom floor is just a bit much.
Honestly, it’s only one word:
laziness.
SIMPLE : THEY KNOW U WILL DO IT FOR THEM.
IF U DON’T CLEAN BEHIND THEM… THEY WILL MAINTAIN AND CLEAN THEIR OWN ITEMS.
At our house its the kids who do it. They happen to be girls. I don’t.
It’s not just men that do this. People sometimes do this because they’re asserting their independence or their power. They sometimes think, "You can’t make me do that, because I’m an adult now and I don’t have to listen to you." Childish, isn’t it?
More the likely, he did this growing up and his mother picked up after him instead of showing him or making him put things in there proper place. I believe it is all in the raising. I would also bet he thinks that is a woman’s job! I would do all the laundry except for his. Maybe when he has nothing to wear he will learn where they go.
I decided a long time ago that it’s not nice to yell at people (my husband) just because he does not KNOW how to change the toilet paper roll. It helps me:) IDK why they do this, maybe because they never had to before…it’s a smallish thing that I’ve learned to let go, save my battles for bigger things, like when a bug needs squishing.
That is exactly how my husband is. It just amazes me that they can’t hit the hamper. And my husbands side of the bed on the floor always has his clothes in a pile. It irritates me so bad. For some reason they just can’t put the underwear in the hamper.
Probably because their mommy did it for them before they live with other women. I stand in front of my sons daily pile of clothes in the middle of the floor nearly everyday looking at it until he notices and he gets up and puts it all in there. I have long since stopped arguing with my husband over it since I feel worse than he does after and the next day the clothes will still be on the floor anyway.
Easier to find and put back on the next day.
when they were doing that before they got married she thought it was cute. after ur married its suddenly a defect?
wow i caint believe with the shape the world is in that people are worried about who didnt pick that up or who didnt do this or that, i agree with you 100%, i just had to get that off my chest
they are just use to their mommy doing it for them…. you can leave it there for days .. he probably wont touch it…. do what us women do best to get what we want… BITCH
Probably the same reason a woman can’t figure out how to put down the toilet seat.
I’d be thrilled to find dirty underwear and socks on the floor as opposed to draped over my toothbrush and other oral hygiene products on the counter like I just found!
