What strange/unnerving/funny things do your Polish wives do?

My wife cannot resist checking what I cook for myself which is quite often. Not that I have to do it because she is a bad cook, no. People love her cooking, but I cherish certain habits from my youth and early adulthood when I prefered to live single and cooked my own meals.

So, whenever I finish cooking and sit at the table over the plate (which is usually late at night), she stops surfing the Internet, comes to the kitchen and cheekily stares at what I have got. And she usually says: Wow or other things like that.

And when the food is still being cooked and not on the plate yet, she is able to lift to lid of the frying pan or pot and look inside.

I find it very amusing and I always have a good laugh at her then. Irresistible supervision.

I am not married to a Polish woman , but i have lots of Polish friends.... One of the things that amuses me is the way they will take something from the fridge , smell it , and then pass it to anyone else nearby for them to smell also... They only bought it from the supermarket the day before , its not going to have gone bad after one day in the fridge is it......?

I see where pawian is coming from here. My wife always takes an interest in what I am preparing and almost always wants some of it. Just last night, I had just pulled a pizza from the microwave and she was there like a hawk to see what it was. Needless to say, she ate half of it.

Another thing? Well, she always lets the toilet paper run down to zero. That's sth I monitor closely and, if I were not to intervene, I shudder to think what she'd use instead.

Mine hides stuff. I know women of all nationalities like to find new places to keep things, but I don't think I've ever used so many sentences beginning "Where's...?" than with her.

My former wife always wanted to sample my beer. - But you hate beer. - Never mind, let me try. - No. - Please, pretty please! - OK. - Yuck!

Seanus:

Conversely, mine is obsessed with with having mountains of the stuff in the toilet. We can run out of Milk (like this morning for example) so no milk for my coffee but i have about 60 toilet rolls stacked up in my toilet so the pupa is well catered for.

Oh and the shower...........when we first started living together I thought "No-one can spend that long stood in the shower......surely??"

I mean seriously, she can be stood under the shower for 30 minutes on a good day......and a bad day even longer. I thought this was bizarre until Tatko came to stay with us for a while and he was exactly the same. I started to shower at night just so I could get near the bloody thing.

It might yet happen, BritinPoland. Guest, she uses a lot but tends not to replace it without a reminder to do so.

Dear guys, after reading your answers, I can say that Polish wives differ substantially and any stereotypes based on nationality are out of question.

wildrover:

Mine doesn`t.

Seanus:

Mine doesn`t. A few days ago I had delicatessen like fish eggs and red wine and she didn`t want to try them.

Seanus:

Mine doesn`t.

I think my wife is quite unusual about make-up. She doesn`t use any facial stuff. Only deodorants and perfume. And I like it a lot. I prefer seeing her natural. Her freckles and red hair are enough to make her pretty.

She could look beautiful if made-up. She once tried it, in 1990s, it was my birthday and she made me a present and looked gorgeous, like a model. But I didn`t approve of it because I was so concentrated on natural looks. Since then she never used face make-up.

I think it is great.

Your wife pawian will remain beautiful for very long time, not destroying her face with make-up. Thumbs up!

I find Polish women who have been hired to clean people's house. Why do Polish women bother their husbands while they cleaning their house. Even wives aren't home. My friend got home from shopping and caught her having sex with her husband in their bedroom. Why is that? Polish women can't control their sex drives but they lost their good paying jobs. Which is more important? I would choose job instead someone else husband.

Michael's wife: I would choose job instead someone else husband. Polish saying: "It is fantastic to have a husband. Of course, someone else's husband".

Antek_Stalich: Your wife pawian will remain beautiful for very long time, not destroying her face with make-up. Exactly, Antek. I can see other women in her age who have obsessively put on make-up since 15. And they all look 5-8 years older. It is incredible how make-up damages the skin. And how women are unaware of it.

Michael's wife: caught her having sex with her husband in their bedroom. Why is that? You are asking strange questions. I am not sure what to answer. Probably: 1. They had sex because the TV was out of order. 2. They used the bedroom because the bathroom was still uncleaned. 3. The husband because the wife was absent. ??? I really don`t know.

Some Polish women (esp. those from the countryside) see to have an obsession about rushing to draw the blinds should anyone turn the light on when it's dark outside. Not just the bedroom, but also the ktichen, dining and living room. So what if a fellow-villager gets a glimspe of your furniture while walking by. You're not doing anything (reading, watching the telly, brewing tea, etc.) to be ashamed of!

I admit it is my obsession too. Well, used to be an obsession, now I am more relaxed and I don`t rush to the window, just stroll leasurely and gracefully turn off the blinds or draw the curtains.

Are Cleaning Ladies getting pay twice. 1. Clean the house. Wife pay her. 2. Having sex with someone's husband. He pay her privately. Oh, well. Polish women should pay taxes.

Michael's wife: Polish women should pay taxes. And you should keep a better eye on your playful husband. He seduces innocent Polish girls. Pervert!!! Look, that is the best description of the situation:

Her freckles and red hair are enough to make her pretty. I hardly believe it. Each red-haired woman I know wears makeup. Why should yours differ?
