It’s like gossip—what woman wouldn’t want to share all those little unexpected and invariably hilarious things men do that drive them crazy? Here, from hundreds of women (first names only, please), comes one juicy detail after the next, and it’s far beyond who left the toilet seat up: “He used coupons to pay for our anniversary dinner.” —Dolly, New York, NY “Every night, settling in, he grunts.

My family could have been the prototype for a '50s TV sitcom. So it was quitea surprise to hear my 87-year-old father swapping recollections with his 82-yearoldbrother about all the wild adventures they'd had growing up during the '20sand '30s in the small southeast Kansas town of Chetopa.

I walked into work each day expecting abuse, and each day, customers were happy to oblige. I realized that enough was enough, and this is the product of years of frustration. Enjoy!
