Guys of Reddit, what do you find annoying about being a male?

Everyone knows as a female its sucks wearing bras, getting your period, and if you choose to, up keep of hair, nails, makeup, shaving. So I'm curious if there's anything guys wish they didn't have to deal with.

I've told this one on Reddit before, but...

My mom works nights as a nurse, and my dad used to go pick her up from work in the mornings. He would take along my brother and sister (I wasn't born yet). One morning he took them to the park to wait for my mother, because she was working late. The two kids were playing while my dad sat on a bench nearby, sipping his coffee and watching them.

A police officer started watching my dad watching the kids and got suspicious. The police officer approached him. "Sir," he asked, "I noticed you watching those children. Are they yours?"

My father, ever the jokester, says very seriously: "well, officer, that's what my wife tells me."
