We had a thread recently about men and their selective hearing.
Here's a good example: Went to the pharmacy to pick up Paul's prescription from his kidney/diabetes dr. (that's the one that was originally priced at $115 - but they changed the prescription to either a generic or another manufacturer and it was $5). Anyway, we picked it up and I wanted to read the flyer that comes with it to find out exactly what it does. Beginning said "high blood pressure" - but Paul is already on blood pressure meds. But then I read where it says that it also is used to treat diabetics with kidney issues. I specifically read this to him in the car (on our way to shop at Costco). Ten minutes later he said "but why are they giving me another pressure pill"? He completely did not pay any attention to what I read (and told him) that it is also for kidney/diabetic issues. HELP!!! When will the really listen? This is definitely "selective hearing". Good thing he has me around to pay attention to things!
