Boyfriend Who Can Explain 26 Different Types Of Concrete Still Unable To Wrap Head Around Washing Machine Cycles

A relatively high functioning 30 something man from Betoota Heights has left his wife scratching her head again this weekend.

Paul Mitchell (34), from our town's Ford Raptor sanctuary, did so yesterday when deciding to put on a load of washing.

The lovely gesture to make an effort to even the gap between the housework done by he and his partner was quickly undone though, after he went to have a shower as the load finished.

Paul reportedly heard the machine beeping before a few loud swear words and the door to the back yard slamming shut.

Quickly drying himself to face the music, Paul says he had a feeling he knew what was coming.

"Yeah, I fucked the washing up again," he winced to our reporter this morning.

"Not good."

Paul's wife Alison explained to us that she is beginning to wonder if she's into old dog new tricks territory.

"Honestly," she sighed.

"I'm beginning to wonder if it's weaponised incompetence."

"Because he's not a moron."

"Ask him about concrete and he'll be able to talk to you for hours about pervious concrete and its ability to allow water through at a rate of litres per square metre minute."

"Or the base stats of some back rower from the Cowboys I've never hear off."

"So the processing power is there."

"Just apparently not the ability to consider whether stuff should be blindly chucked into the washing machine and put on whatever cycle he feels like."

"Two knits gone and 3 white singlets and shirts looking like I've tipped Borscht on myself."

"Fantastic."

More to come.
