Why, Chuck, why? The laundry basket is right there. It's purpose for being is so glaringly obvious. What crucial piece of this puzzle still eludes you?
(And no, he can't blame this on being sick. He's better.)
Aaagggh!

Message to Chuck: To clarify, the song - "pants on the ground"....is not meant literally.
You know those mini basketball hoops you buy for kids to make a game out of throwing clothes in the hamper? It's not just for kids anymore...
I have always believed that men are missing the "see it as a big picture" brain chip...this goes to show me that things in plain view now fall under the 'big picture' classification.
Amen for husbands...they make us look good sometimes!
My idea of fun...start leaving them in various locations around the house with new names pinned on...denim scarf (on top of his jacket), bath mat (on the floor outside the shower), welcome mat (outside the front door), toilet paper (with one leg dangling into the toilet water).
He might just choose to use them in their original state after seeing their multipurpose goodness. Heehee!
Forget the trousers - or pants as you guys call them - what about that dark item sneaking in from the left. Tie or sock?
Tootertotz, that's right, we're missing the brain chip required. When I saw those trousers (pants) I thought 'what the hell is wrong with that?'
boys are dumb.
Oh my gosh - I just got done griping about this very thing!
My husband drops his towel wherever he happens to be standing when he's dry. Same with his clothes.
Yesterday I came home from work and his boxers were in the foyer (I'm scared to ask why) and the towel was in the living room floor and his coat was on the floor in the hallway.
Gah.
Open ID hates me and will no longer let me comment. So it's me, Mary at http://marybt.wordpress.com
I don't know, but it's probably the same piece of the puzzle that prevents Paul from putting dishes in the sink that is THREE FEET AWAY.
Graarh.
ITs a guy thing... My father, Brother, Fiancee, his father.. every male I have ever met seem to be missing that little bit of reasoning when it comes to laundry.
It absolutely MUST be a guy thing...b/c the man can't help but make a pile of dirty clothes at the foot of his side of the bed. SO annoying!!

This one I can master. Putting up dishes or picking up things is much harder for me.
At our house, the laundry basket is where we keep the clean clothes and the floor is where we keep the dirty ones.
What?
This must be on the list with putting clothes in closets and in dressers? cause I think the gene is lost in man world.
biggest pet peeve! Why, oh why, can't they make it in the basket????
(I left you a little suttin suttin on me lil ol blog)
The male person does this with his socks and underwear. Drives the publicist BATTY. You would think that after 28 years he would learn, but no. She should stop picking them up...THAT is the problem.
I think we may have the same husband.
If it makes you feel any better, my husband uses his laundry basket as a dresser. No joke. He'd rather throw his clean clothes into a basket (or near it) rather than hanging up his clothes. Mmmkay. That's why we do our own laundry and always have.
Was he singing the "Pants on the Ground" song??? Practicing for American Idol???
Hotty Hubby would tell me that the laundry basket was full and if he put his pants in, the whole thing would topple over and then he'd be in trouble for making a bigger mess and he didn't want that, so he dropped his pants on the floor.
Either way....I call them both Lazy Asses.
Dude, my VERY first WW post was exactly the same. I even laid out a tape measure to show how close the pants were to the basket.
Why do they do this? Why?
Substitute the laundry basket for the dishwasher, the floor for my sink and the pants for my son's dishes and you have my house.
If they can't get the clothes in the hamper then they don't get washed. End of story. Now if I could only do that with food.
It puts the pants in the basket OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN.
Okay, with the basket that close, he couldn't blame it on being sick, unless he had the black plague.
So damn annoying!
Now I am in a much better mood before bed.
My husband can now hit the laundry basket...we've been married 12 years. I got laundry sorters and the idea of "whites, colors and darks" is waaaay behind him. Oh and as soon as he started picking up his towel and hanging it(about 4 years ago) he started leaving the toilet seat up which he had never...EVER...done before.
Hopeless creatures.
