take so fucking long to get out of a damn car???
I decided to hit some yard sales this morning. I put the address in the GPS stopped at the first one jumped out of the car...look behind my wife is nowhere to be found. Walk back to the car the wife is putting shit into her pocket book, fixing her hair, adjusting her sunglasses...etc. Put the next address into the GPS jump out...once again the wife is dragging her ass. This continued at every garage sale. WTF? |

I hate when I am tring to get into somewhere. There won't be a line at all but we pull up right when 3 or 4 car loads of people do. I hop out thinking we can just head right in. We always end up 20th in the line right behind all the other people that just pulled up.

Maybe she didn't want to go to the garage sales and was buying time away from watching people haggle over a $0.25 piece of garbage?

She is passive-aggreswivel. She maintains control of you by delaying the pace of your activities.
|

I don't know... but I tell mine that she had better learn to move faster for when the Zombies come, because if she can't unass a vehicle quickly and efficiently under no stress, she'll be fucked with a dozen Zach's coming towards the car.

How about we just focus on the nice things they do for us and the shit they put up with to be with us instead of bitching about everything they do thats annoying.......Oh wait ......this is GD......in that case its because they have vaginas...

Chill out dude. My wife probably thinks the same thing about me. I typically stop the truck, check that I have two truck keys on me, move my .380 from the console to my pocket, look around see what's going on around us, make sure all windows are closed, and then get out. She is doing the same as you, wondering what is taking me so long. Getting back to the truck from a restaurant or store its the other way around. She is jabbering with strangers, checking makeup, stopping at the restroom, looking at something on the wall, etc. By the time she is in the truck I have it running and cooled down inside. There are many things in life that you just have to tolerate.

It don't get any better...twenty years in and, I even have a bad back.

I inadvertently lock my wife in the car with my key fob all the time. I tried to explain that she is too slow, but she refuses to own her slowness and insists I'm wrong for locking her in. Occasionally I'll do it on purpose, because, deep down, I'm sure she thinks it's funny.
|
|
My knee is so fucked up my wife can get out, shop, and get back in the car before I locked the cardoor.

My fiance does the same thing when she is driving her car. She stops completely then puts it in park(good on transmission so not complaining), but then turns off the radio, turn off the blower fan, checks her phone or something dumb, then finally gets out. Sometimes I'm already in the store before she gets out.
|
|
They're all the same!
I pull up and stop. Get out of the car. Go 15 maybe 20 paces and the wife and girls have not even opened the doors. Usually, they are putting on their shoes, combing their hair or who knows what. I've gotten to where I don't even look back most of the time. |

If you think you have problems now just wait till menopause comes along! I can't believe I survived it but somehow I'm reasonably sane yet.
|
|
I have more trouble with her getting out of the house.
I can shit, shower, shave, take the dogs out, eat a meal, and solve world hunger before she manages to get her teeth brushed. |
|
All I had to read was the thread title and I knew my response. "I don't know."
|
|
I'm just lucky I found an attractive woman who has the patience to put up with my crazy ass.

Quoted: She is passive-aggreswivel. She maintains control of you by delaying the pace of your activities. Is she swivelling??? Or just plain passive-aggressive??? Inquiring minds want to know. |
|
If these are the types of things you guys get spun up about, I worry for your collective blood pressures!
OTOH, I'm sure my BF wonders the same thing about me since he is usually trying to get out of the car before it's even in park... (Which I find terribly annoying!) So I guess it's even |

My wife fills up the gas tank in her car when the needle is about 1/8 inch below the E.

Make her ride in the back of the truck. If that's still not fast enough, get a dump bed.

Just a bit of advice. Not that it was asked for. hehe. Don't get upset. If you get upset you fail. If you plan for this behavior, and it doesn't bother you, you win. It's truly that simple. Sounds TOO simple I know. If she takes four hours to get ready to go out tell her how great she looks when she's done. If she makes herself pretty before going into a public venue do the same. Don't be a victim. You are a man. You plan ahead and accommodate shit like this. If you are in control of yourself and the activities of daily life she will feel confidence in you. If you get upset and rattled over little shit she will lose faith in your place as a man. This may sound sexist or whatever, but it's true. I think women are absolutely equal to men, but we have different roles. Part of a man's role is to be stable, unaffected by piddly shit, and to plan ahead. She has reasons for her behavior whether you understand them or not. It's good you are talking about your troubles though. Problems like these are fixable. Be a man and plan for this. Don't let little things shake you up. Let her know that you appreciate her looking her best for you. Slap her ass and tell her how sexy she is when she fixes herself up for you! Lol!

Quoted: She is passive-aggreswivel. She maintains control of you by delaying the pace of your activities. This. She is passively letting you know who is in control of the pace at which you will visiting these garage sales. Nobody likes to be in control of nothing. She has staked her claim on the pace of your activities. |

slow down
enjoy life she is probably sitting in the car wondering why the fuck you are jumping out like Freddy the Fireman everytime you stop |

Uh.... any of you gentlemen ever consider opening the car door for the lady? I'm just sayin' ....

Her Majesty will conduct herself at a pace that suits her, not you. Haven't you figured that out yet? |

They are always slow it drives me freaken nuts. Especially when running errands and trying to get a pile of shit done.

The sooner you just accept that they always do this and there is no changing them, the happier you will be.
Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall He sat down in his overalls and asked me ''You waitin' on a woman?'' I nodded yeah and said, ''How 'bout you?'' He said, ''Son since nineteen fifty-two I've been Waitin' on a woman.'' When I picked her up for our first date I told her I'd be there at eight And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty She said, ''I'm sorry that I took so long Didn't like a thing that I tried on.'' But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty Yeah, she'll take her time but I don't mind Waitin' on a woman. He said, ''The wedding took a year to plan You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous Waitin' on a woman.'' And then he nudged my arm like old men do And said, ''I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it Waitin' on a woman.'' And I don't guess we've been anywhere She hasn't made us late I swear Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it Boy it's just a fact of life It'll be the same with your young wife Might as well go on and get used to it She'll take her time 'cause you don't mind Waitin' on a woman. I've read somewhere statistics show The man's always the first to go And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready So when it finally comes my time And I get to the other side I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind Waitin' on a woman. Honey, take your time, cause I don't mind Waitin' on a woman... |

You need to explain the process to them. Use small words and short sentences.
Sometimes they need help. When you are getting close to where you are going, tell them. |

THIS is the answer. I'll wait a few extra minutes if it makes her feel better about herself, and if she's willing to make herself look good. No problems with that at all... |
