Differences in attitudes between men and women when it comes to twist ties [View all]

I'm referring to those annoying wire ties used to tie up a loaf of bread in a bag, and which my wife persists on fishing out of the garbage where I've thrown it in righteous anger, and then uses to tie the bag up again. I hate them. OK, maybe my hands are too big, but simply folding the bag under the loaf and using a breadbasket is more than sufficient to combat the scourge of stale bread without the added frustration.

I have a theory. I think men hate the damn things and women love them. I base this on conversations with my wife, my sister, and a bloke I met in a pub once, so it's statistically sound. If I can replicate these opinions on DU, maybe I'll turn this into a thesis.

Men and woman are the exact same, you sexist pig! And why did you put men first in these options?
