If he already did it then she wouldn't be nagging, the conversation would go more like this:
"Did you turn in those documents that were due today?" "Yes honey I did it." "Oh. Okay."
End of conversation.

Unlikely. If he did set a date, he would have simply responded, "I told you I am going to do it on this date," and that would be the end of the nagging. The word NAGGING implies repetitive pestering to get somebody to do something. The fact that somebody has to nag means the person being nagged fails to respond by agreeing to do it at a certain date, or fails to do it at all, or continually postpones doing it.
FYI, I'm usually the one getting nagged by everybody else because I'm the ultimate procrastinator and fail-to-do almost everything on time unless it's super duper important, so I know what I'm talking about. 
god forbid a female be in the wrong for once impatient bitch? Fucking impossible! Lazy good for nothing man? Most definitely!

Are you fucking retarded? First of, NOT ALL FEMALES ARE THE ONES THAT NAG. MALES NAG ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY AT WORK, AND FRANKLY IF NAGGING DIDN'T EXIST NOTHING WOULD GET DONE IN THE CORPORATION EITHER.
Did you not read where I said I'M THE ONE THAT'S USUALLY GETTING NAGGED? I, A WOMAN, AM USUALLY THE ONE IN THE WRONG WHEN IT COMES TO FINISHING IMPORTANT TASKS. Unlike OP however, I RECOGNIZE that I'm a forgetful and lazy person, and I am actually grateful when somebody reminds me to do something.
If I hadn't been nagged, I never would have developed the work ethic that I have today. If I hadn't been nagged, I never would have gone to school, I never would have practiced piano, I never would have done my homework, I never would have paid my medical bills, and I would never have gone to get my yearly physical done at the doctor's. Nagging is often a good thing.
This is what I said in case you missed it:
FYI, I'm usually the one getting nagged by everybody else because I'm the ultimate procrastinator and fail-to-do almost everything on time unless it's super duper important, so I know what I'm talking about.
But to be frank, I am the kind of person that NEEDS to be nagged in order to get anything done. If I don't have somebody reminding me, or pushing me, it will pretty much NEVER get finished. Or it will get finished like 6 months later when I FINALLY remember to do it. A little pushing helps people who are lazy and completely unmotivated deep-down and forgetful with their memory.
I am the kind of person that probably would fail to plan my own wedding, and I'd postpone it until like 3 days before the ceremony, until I'd realize that all venues would completely booked by then, and then I'd have to get married at a public park or beach somewhere because I'm so shitty of a planner.
I've also been procrastinating applying for Obamacare, and I meant to do it like 3 months ago. I should probably do it now.... nah, I'll do it next week.

good for you getting nagged all the time?
i was responding to your auto response about the man being in the wrong. Without even taking into account both possible sides.

This is what I said.

Here's the question though. Maybe he never does that task if she fails to nag him. Or maybe he will eventually do it, but it will be like 3 months later, and the room will be a pigsty in the meantime until he finally does it. If she's nagging you every 5 minutes that's one thing. But if she's nagging you every 3 days to complete a simple chore, she's completely justified. I'm just curious about the circumstances of this nagging.

NOWHERE did I bring man or woman into this. I used the definition of the word "nagging" and used the word "circumstance" to make my point. The fact that OP fails to elaborate on the details of this nagging, inclines me to believe that he might be the one who is in the wrong.
If he were being responsible, he would have come on here and defended himself and explained the situation. Yet, he didn't. All he did was +1 some stupid-ass video about women being nags. Or whatever that video was. I don't know, I didn't watch it. But his reaction sounds more like somebody who is irresponsible, yet continually wants to blame others for their lack of responsibility. I used to do the exact same thing when I was young.
Are you REALLY going to turn this into a feminist "woman can do no wrong" thing, because you fail to understand what I'm writing?

Thank you! That is exactly the point I was making, I had to post anonymously though, as I knew Crystal would pounce on anyone trying to make that point (like she has you).
Your explanations assume thought goes into nagging or before nagging. In my experience, this is just simply not the case. Females nag when they don't know what's going on, or what they are talking about, or what the circumstances are so don't act like women don't nag about shit when it has already been handled and they are just unaware.
I like you Crystal, I really do. You just need to see other people's point of view here.

Why would somebody nag about something they have no authority or knowledge over? Maybe you can provide an actual example that has happened illustrating this so others can understand what you are saying.

Nagging can be a form of bullying.
Sometimes when nothing is wrong, people have to make stuff up.
Other times nagging acceptable and helpful. OP didn't specify the cause of his nagging problems, just asked how to make it stop.
One way to make it stop is to make sure you have everything done. This stops some naggers, but not all.
If you let people treat you like crap, they will keep doing it. People who put up with nagging that they do not deserve are part of the problem.

I understand this. Maybe chicken soup can clarify the circumstances surrounding the nagging. What does she nag about, are they simple things she nags about such as vacuuming the house or putting the dishes away, how often does she nag about them, is she irate when she nags or just asking calmly, do you do what she nags you to do, and does she continue to nag despite you doing these things?
