hmmmm....I think it's a masculine thingie.....and strongly due to their environmental upbringing, too.....(ie: they have that ignorance gene, and it's been cultivated if they do this).....for example....my ex...Crabby Pants....is "Forest Gump with a bad attitude"....one day, as I had just arrived in the bathtub to bathe and get ready for work, Crabby Pants stood by the burgler alarm....pushed the panic button and stood there, KNOWING perfectly well how to shut it off....while the alarm BLARED loudly....and waited for the police to come....I sat in the tub with my last nerve jangling over the sound of the alarm....determined NOT to get out of the tub and give him a full nudity beaver shot, because that's what he was up to.....I could just imagine his reasoning...."She's gonna jump outta that tub runnin' through the house nekkid screaming 'WHAT'S WRONG?!!'.....(yeah...right).....and I'LL get a peep show out of it...heheheheh"......When the police arrived, he shut it off....he told them he just couldn't figure out how to shut it off....yeah right....like the police shut it off for him...pfffft! To top it all off, my daughter called soon after wanting to know what happened, cause her ex b/friend, who'd had the alarm service installed called HER wanting to know if she knew what was up at our house....when I told her about it....later she told me that they'd laffed their asses off about it....yeah right.
