Proof?

Mrs L had to go to the opticians this morning. Her appointment time? 10.30am

10.10am she comes out of the bathroom to get dressed & she still walks in to the opticians, 3 miles from home bsng on 10.30 am THE SAME DAY.

Proof that women can get a move on when they need to.

Mind you, nearly an hour later & I'm still waiting for her in the coffee shop 50yds away.

When Mrs P says she’ll be ready in ten minutes, I know I have just enough time to nip into space and finish building my Death Star.

 

[Jaws]

For years I always state a leaving time at least 40 minutes earlier.. Saved a lot of raised voices over the years

Bev plays hell with me as I’d rather be half an hour early than five minutes late, I think it’s my disciplined way having served in the RN & Prison service where everything is time controlled, she thinks it’s ocd

A couple of minutes before we hit the door I'll reel off a list to the wife....

Got your..... bag/money/cards/mask/coat/sunglasses.....?

...and about 50% of the time we'll get to the end of the road and then need to swing by the house again.

I admit, if I arrange for us to be somewhere I usualy tell Mrs L it's at least 30 minutes before the real time, especially if we're going to my parents.

Last tie we went to her Sister's, I was still waiting by the back door 40 minutes after the time she said we needed to leave. We got to the bottom of the road, approx 1/2 mile & had to turn around as I was still wearing my slippers. we got to her Sister's 1 hour later than she intended & it was my fault for leaving the house without my shoes on.

As our American cousins say 'Go figure'

While,fully acknowledging the fairer sex are superior to men in almost every way, while on the subject of pointing out deficiencies (which are few compared to men) what is it with women and heating controls. “The house is cold“ (which it seldom is in my opinion) so the thermostat gets rammed up,to,35c. Then half an hour later “is it hot in here or is it me?”,thermostat turned down to 8c, half and hour later it’s rammed up,to,35c again and so the cycle continues.. ok, I have exaggerated the temperatures a bit to make the point, but the principle,is,there.

Same in the car. I quite happily sit in my zone with the climate control set where I want it and let it do it’s stuff. My good lady sits on the passenger side changing the temperature every two minutes, turning the fan up and down frequently. I’ve given up on this one.

Driving along on a nice hot sunny day, air conditioning on, Bev will always open the windows.

It's not a woman thing, my central heating is rarely above 15°

sometimes you want some fresh air in the car not just to be cooler

 

[sr71caspar]

My Doris opens all the windows to air the house, then complains it is cold and "can we put the heating on".

Her--- come on we need to go! Why are you not dressed yet?
Me--- I'm going upstairs, getting dressed, going out the house, locking up, getting in the car and going, in two minutes.
Will you be?
Her--...............

 

[slim63]

Her--...............

In my case I get "why are you rushing me" wtf?, makes no sense whatsoever

It drives me absolutely mental, she will open the cupboard for her coat and put it on the chair then go for her keys etc from the other side of the room, then go back in the cupboard for shoes then ask where her phone is (probably under the coat) and so it goes on ad infinitum with no logical order involved at all

Me upstairs, trousers on, grab coat and shoes on the way down, sit down shoes on, pick up keys phone etc from side of chair, stand, coat on and gone with minimal effort and no stress
I often get gone and sit in the car out of the havoc as its painful to watch

Don’t forget “does this dress look ok?”
“Yes”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes”
“I think I’ve put weight on since I last wore it”
“You look great”
“Ok if you’re sure”
“I am”
Going out of the door she turns round & disappears upstairs for fifteen minutes the comes down in a different outfit.

I once asked Malc what he thought of a top I was thinking of buying, he ran out of the shop as fast as his legs could carry him,

Reminds me when we travelled to North Wales for,a,wedding with friends. My mate, with a look of exasperatio, said his wife couldn’t decide which of her four outfits to wear so she was taking them all.

On the morning if the wedding she realised she had left all four at home.

Turned out Wrexham wasn’t the greatest place for haute coutur on a Saturday morning.

All a bit ironic as she weighs about eighteen stone.
