Anyone else's wife faff about un-necessarily?
Discussion
And more faffing last night.
I let her get ready to go out first, as I knew faffing would be involved... but the faffing became taking out the entire contents of the bottom of the wardrobe to find shoes and a bag... which continued for long after I was suited, booted and standing at the door with the keys.

Off on holiday tomorrow so bags need to be packed. I've ironed everything I need and it's packed ready to go, beach towels and other stuff sorted and packed too so just her things now.
She started at the same time as I sat down to watch the GP so she's been up there several hours. I've heard lots of coat hangers clattering and she's been downstairs looking for shoes about five times.
Just went upstairs and yes, there's one packed case (mine) and her case just where I left it, empty.
Her clothes have migrated from the spare bedroom and are now spread all over the bed next to her suitcase and the floor is covered in shoes.
I'm going on my own aren't I?

Off out to walk the dogs:
"Get the dogs ready" says she, so I get their harnesses on, leads ready, poo bags etc.
Grandson, has his coat on, daughter is ready, my shoes are on, dogs are getting excited, no sign of the wife and what is she doing; putting the dog toys away (the dogs will get them out again when we return), putting grandsons toys away (he will get them out again when we return), plumping up the cushions on the sofa!
She hasn't even got her shoes on arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

First weekend away in the classic Porsche. It has key in door operated central locking.
Que me spending a considerable amount of time stood with the key in the door waiting for her to fanny about getting out then fannying about stood there with the door open whilst she fanny's about some more.
Usually I just walk off, leave her and click lock from 300yds away.

Took wife to work this morning. Spent 50% of the 15 minute journey rummaging in her bag for the shop key. This is despite the huge coloured lanyard I put on it for her so she don't loose it!!!! When I enquired what she was doing, she said "leave me alone, don't stress me out!"
My wife has what i call the "sac magique" What ever ends up in her handbag never ever re-appears without a minimum 5 minute search accompanied by various cursing and stress related activities.i suppose it dosnt help i tell her she looks like les dawson when she sits in the car hugging said bag instead of putting it either in the boot or on the back seat.
I think its a bit like a comfort blanket for her

So, what is it with women faffing about?
I've decided to experiment with purposely being late. "Why don't you pick me up at 2pm?" "Ok (mental note to turn up about 2.30pm)"
I can't remember how many times we've turned up late or _just_ on time when meeting others. "It's only 15 minutes' drive away." (At 2am with green lights all the way and if we can find a parking space right outside the restaurant.)

I worked with someone like that, used to say things like "Can you remind me on Monday to call so and so". No put a reminder in your diary, why should I remind you of something you can remind yourself about.

There's no excuse these days. Everyone has a smartphone these days and they all have built-in calendars. If you decide not to use them, don't expect me to remind you of an appointment unless you want to pay me to be your very, very overpaid PA (will do it for £500 per hour).Cotty said:

Hahaha that sounds like someone I used to work with, a big boy with big balls but tiny brain.
