Whatdeath threats do women use?

Its when I dont say anything,be very afraid,its a long fuse....but the bomb has started ticking...

@ downtoearth

Just used one:

"OK then, you sort it"
(you obviously don't need my help even though I know it won't get done)

through gritted teeth.

I have a death stare.

Quiet, every time.
It means I'm very deep in thought/menacing.

not saying anything .means i am upset at what people say.

Yes, quiet. And indifference.

While I'm still talking / moaning or wingeing or in contact, there is room for debate and I'm interested or involved.

Once I stop discussing or talking about something, my mind is made up and there's no going back.

ALL of my partners (3) have made this mistake. They are relieved when I no longer want to try to discuss or work through something with them, only to find out they've pushed me too far and I've mentally moved on and are hurt by it.

HootyMcOwlface, the death stare is not unknown in this house either.

A couple of days ago I was reduced to beating one of the kitchen drawers with a potato masher ( I managed to chip a chunk out of the wood and had to stick it back). So the potato masher is a lethal weapon here, too.

Vigorous slamming of cupboard doors.

Death stare here as well. My daughters refer to it as "one of Mother's looks "

The other one is of course - don't worry about me I'm fine !!

Retreating into myself. Never violent. DF was an arch manipulator with words.

It's known as the Paddington Bear Stare.

"Ok then, you sort it "
Worked today.
He did, or he is in the process of sorting it.

My phrase is "Do what you like" - which he knows is NOT what I mean, but he recognises that phrase as meaning I've had enough of things.

I find that asking " Do you want to do (insert task of choice) or change the cats litter tray? " seems to get the required result!

I just say - well go on then - you do what you want.

I also have a death stare which my OH hates. He says I look at him as though he's a halfwit.

Well, if the cap fits {grin}

that should be lol.

A deep sigh and exaggerated, 'Wotevva' means I'm not prepared to argue the toss discuss the matter but that doesn't mean it will be forgotten. It will go in my 'saving it for when I need some ammo' box.

DH uses the following guidelines:

Apparently, why expression speaks a thousand words !!!!

Sorry..... meant to type..

Apparently my expression speaks a thousand words !!!!

With my late boss, I perfected a way of looking at him over the top of my glasses, while raising my eyebrows * and* pursing my lips!

Bit like a full face workout......

None. CBA.
Possibly side-eye but usually ignore.

I strongly recommend that you stop right there.

I don't bother with threats, I just go right ahead and kill 'em.
