I think my boyfriend does this to me, though he doesn't need to.

For example, we agree to leave in 30 minutes. I get ready, he sits at his computer/otherwise bums around. If I take a minute or two too long he starts getting impatient.

Then I'm ready, and tell him so.

His response is to run to the bathroom to shave and fix his hair and do his contact lenses etc etc ..while I have to sit and wait for him.

!!!

Amen.

When I know we're leaving at a certain time, I make sure I have enough time to get ready. I take as much time to get ready as any normal woman who wants to go out looking at least decent, but I don't wait until the last minute to do it. He, on the other hand, procrastinates. When he does start to get ready (usually 3-5 minutes before we should be taking off), he takes his time doing it, even if we're in a rush. On the rare occasion I am running 5 or less minutes behind (never more than that), I never hear the end of it. He stands there watching me in the mirror while I apply my mascara, tapping his foot and looking at his watch. On the other hand, when it's him running us behind (like usual), he can't understand my impatience.

I think a lot of men's problem with running behind is assuming their lady is going to be running even further behind.

I'm sure the rest of you guys do it too; it's just easier to forget than when she does it ;)

Silly boys.

I guess I lucked out. My wife does not wear make up and when we say we are leaving at a specific time then we will leave at that time.

I agree that in the case of someone who is temporally challenged that you should tell them time way before you actually need to leave if you want to be on time.

Enjoy it while you get it, Its not fun when you get older, Your answer should be "Thats okay baby, Take your time, Ill be waiting for you" GO enjoy young love because its not the same when you get 25+

don?t establish any wrong concept solely based on this stupid reason.

My wife and I have gotten used to the "getting ready" routine, although at this point she knows whats she going to do in advance and I procrastinate what suit I am going to wear to the last minute and then ask her to shave my head, so I end up taking 30 minutes and she takes 10-15.

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
