Why are us guys such horrible listeners?

Seriously?

My wife will tell me we need cat food from the grocery store. I'll head out for that sole purpose. On the way I'll start thinking of other things we need because I should try and make the trip useful, then when I get there I get distracted by other things I want, then I can't help but to think of trying to find a little something special to get for the kids. Then I start getting frustrated and putting back all the things I really shouldn't buy because I know I am going to get fussed at. Then I decide to buy them anyway and stay shopping for a while longer, cause I know I going to get fussed at. I end up getting other things for myself to try and make myself feel better. Then, I am like, OK, I should probably try to find something really special for my wife so that I can see her smile. Then I think if I want her to smile, I should probably put back all this junk we don't need. I will put most everything back and just get something for her and that one thing I remembered thinki ng that we also needed like toilet paper.

OK, I get home an hour and a half later with toilet paper and my wife's favorite ice cream. My wife looks at me with this face of utter disbelief while the cat us rubbing all over my legs and purring for some food. ...yep, I forgot to buy cat food! She accuses me of not listening to her and wonders what took me so long!

On the radio they were talking that men are forgetful and don't listen. I honestly think we are good listeners, but our wives fail to realize that they are competing with a lifetime of of their own nagging that has created a nonstop roar of indecisive thoughts spinning through our heads all the time that get us distracted...

Do you other guys feel the same?
