If you want to witness the wide gap between males and females concerning neatness, effort, and business sense attend a garage sale.
First, 99% of the time when a woman is running any garage sale it is because the man is (a) still in bed, or (b) fishing, hunting, or watching an old Chuck Norris film. But let’s give men the benefit of the doubt and say that (occasionally) they do organize garage sales; in which case, the contrasts with women are quite stark.
Women will mark a price on every item – and it’s seldom negotiable. But if a man is in charge, no prices can be found. Instead, when asked the price for something, the man will say, “How much do you want to give me ‘cuz I just want to get rid of it.”
Another noticeable difference between male and female garage sale organization is that women will separate clothes into different piles on tables: jeans, shirts, jackets, etc., all neatly folded. Plus, they will be organized according to clothes for men, women, and children.
Whereas a man in charge will simply throw all the clothes into one big pile like a giant bowl of spaghetti . . . on the lawn . . . where the dog loves to do its business . . . and just after the sprinkler system has watered the grass.
One exception to this male lack of neatness at garage sales is on display when it comes to the man’s ball caps which he typically organizes on a table in perfectly straight rows… but off to the side to discourage customers.
If you do happen to approach his caps, the man will hustle over saying, “Oh, you don’t want that greasy old NAPA Auto cap, do you?” while snatching it from you and slapping it on top of the other three rescued caps already on his head.
Another male/female garage sale difference is that women, who I’m sure had the best intentions when they purchased them, will eagerly display their barely used bun buster, stomach tucker, or leg-toner devices for sale.
While men, only after hours of deep depression and soul-searching, will reluctantly offer to sell their KISS memorabilia collection.
