We just received an updated modem. For the last hour, my husband has been looking at the wires from the old one and the ones from the new one. He hasn't figured out how to hook it up. So at least 50 times I have suggested he call the number on the letter and call and they will walk him through it. Has he listened to me NO ! Why can't he call ?

Can't speak for others, but I think everybody can be a little hard headed under the right circumstances. I do like to figure things out for my self, but for electronic tech stuff, it's pretty much straight to Youtube, unless the directions are good, which is a rarity.

Well, you just spoke for me.
Couldn't put it better

Do all men have hard heads?​


Yes
....and screwed on tight

If I can't fix it, I have the tool that can

LOL, 50 times in an hour!

No wonder he cannot figure it out on his own.

It is good for him to go through this little "male ritual." To begin with it is always a bit humbling when this happens which is good for us. He will eventually come up with the right questions when he does make that call. He will learn something along the way.

And men do enjoy the mystery of a good puzzle. Don't deprive him.

Just sit back and chuckle a bit. This will all work out in the end. He owns this problem.
 
I don't know about being "hard headed" but whenever I'm trying to fix something, I need to concentrate Fully on the task. Having someone hovering nearby asking questions, etc., just extends the "outage". I've been that way forever. When I was working, if some manager kept interrupting my thought process, I would simply stand up and engage him in a polite conversation. It usually didn't take long for them to realize; that the longer they "bugged" me, the longer their computer would be down.
The same holds true around the house. If my wife finds a problem she informs me, then gives me some space and time to investigate the issue.

Exactly! I am the same way.
 
Why is it that my husband can put together a pool ladder that came in a hundred different pieces in 10 minutes, but can't figure out how to use the DVD player?

Along the same lines, why can I hook up my computer, mouse, printer, scanner, modem, and router in a matter of minutes but can't figure out my Android phone? What is wrong with me?

Sorry, went a little off topic here.
 
I just wanted to add that women are much smarter than men. My husband left to go to the barber to get a haircut. So while he was gone I called my grandson and asked if he could stop over today. His girlfriend lives near us. I told him the problem and he said he would fix it for us.He is 24yrs old and much smarter than me or my husband. We aren't going to tell hubby that's why my grandson is stopping over.

LOL, good for you. Now the hard part is for you to go easy on your husband. We have fragile egos you know.
 
If you just heard a loud noise it was me banging my head against the
wall. My husband just answered the phone and it was a spam call. It came up on the tv so I told him not to answer it because it was spam. He said Yes to everything they asked him so God only knows what he agreed to. He said he didn't pay attention to the questions but just said yes!
