    It never fails, set the alarm and out the door we go then one of us gets that look on our face…..I forgot such and such, I think I have enough time to make a mad dash back inside before the alarm is in fact, armed!

    Because of this effect, the odds of leaving on time drop by 50% with every added passenger. They also drop by 50% with every decade of average age. The only reason anybody EVER gets somewhere on time is because “odds of” aren’t “what will happen”. And of course, starting (the process) earlier.

    Spouse was very poor at getting out the door on time 35 years ago when we met. It made me crazy. I’ve solved the problem though: I have stopped worrying about being there on time. And we almost never are. But that’s now okay with me.

    (If I’m going solo, I do get there on time barring flat tires or extraordinarily bad traffic)

    That’s us, except it’s my wife that makes me hurry and then has to make we wait while she uses the facilities.

    When you tell your wife that you would like to leave at say 2:30 they think that is the time to look for their purse, change clothes, pick out a different coat, go to the bath room, etc.

    One GF would do this. I decided I’d just sit and read until she was at the front door with her purse and keys. We rarely got anywhere less than an hour late.

    Earl’s behavior makes perfect sense to me. If I can, I always wait to void my bladder until immediately before going out to minimize the likelihood that I’ll have to go at some inconvenient time or place while we’re out.

    My father pulled that stunt once, remembering he had to shave, after he kept pestering my mother about whether she was ready. He only pulled that ONCE…

    That’s why you always tell a woman you have to be (wherever) by 20 minutes before you actually do. Unfortunately, it’s not long before she’s on to you. Then you have to tell her 40 minutes earlier.

    Got to Betty’s at eight, I was ready to jet

    Until Betty’s mom said: “Betty’s not ready yet!”

    I sat there for at least an hourIt was ten after nine before she got in the shower

    9:35, she comes downstairsAnd said: “I need a little longer to finish my hair”

    At ten o’clock, we had been missed the showShe comes downstairs and says ’let’s go’!?

    “Go where? Go to sleep, I’m gone!” I was steamin like a demon as I drove home

    But it just goes to show not trying to bust your bubbleBut girls of the world ain’t nothing but trouble…

    I have never done this to anyone. If we have to be someplace at a certain time, I am ready when I need to be. That includes the decade when I was married. We both got ready on time.

    I hate that this portrays that the wife is always the late one and the husband is stuck waiting, talk about a trend that is ready to be ended, it happens the other way around just as much.

    My wife will say she’s “ready”, when in fact, she’s ALMOST ready.
