There'e no real point in me saying this but..."no offence intended".
The title says it all really, why do women just have no idea of how long things take ie. getting from A to B, they thing a 10min journey takes 20mins etc etc.
Example, my g/f went the salon for treatments today at 10am, she said i will see you at 12, erm it now 1.26pm and have just had a call saying she is half way through getting her nails done!!
This is a 'light hearted' post, do you guys out there know what i'm on about??!
Dunc.
ps. and if any females out there read this...can you shed any light??

They cannot plan things properly either. Typical example with my trouble is we will be getting ready to go somewhere, after lots of f*rting about trying to find bag, keys, phone etc we will be shutting the front door and she'll go "oh, I better go for a wee I suppose" and go back in again... I'm like - you've been p*ssing about for 1/2 an hour, couldn't you have thought of that then?

I think we have to take into account the male "just a minute".
40 minutes later you are still waiting for them because they have become occupied in something else. All the men I know are famed for this. My dad is the best example. If he says he'll be home by 2, you can pretty much guarantee he won't be there much before 4.
Besides, if you're used to them being late, just turn up the equivalent amount of time late yourself. If they're constantly half an hour late, tell them to get there 30 minutes earlier, or don't expect them until 30 minutes later.

I'm not so bothered by womens lack of temporal awareness as I am by their lack of temperature awareness: house is hot, MrsREV puts the heating on while wearing 4 jumpers and a cardigan, house is cold and she opens all the windows [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

12Lee - absolutely spot on. Especially use of a credit card.
Women do have a concept of time though.
It takes 60 mins to do the make up.
10 mins to rake through their purse for the money while you fume in the queue behind them.
10 mins to get into the parking space wide enough for an artic.
30 mins per each and every soap on the telly.(longer for the omnibus edition)
10 mins to choose what outfit for a night out. Only joking really at least 60 mins. Then 1 min to decide she has nothing suitable to wear and will need to buy something new.
Only kidding - honest
Alas

the one that gets me is:
At least 30 seconds to get out of the car!
I can get out close the door in less than 5 seconds.... her on the other hand will still be getting purse together, checking hair... meantime im standing outside the car waiting to lock up! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I can usualy be found leaning against the car with a scowl on my face
Life should move faster than women!

Well people, on a more personal note, if you were going out to tat about with your beloved automobile for 'half an hour', how does that magically turn into two hours or more??
You have to sweet talk your baby before she will let you touch her, get her all exited before you can get her top up?? lol.
I'm kidding, this is just a personal insight to my relationship with my partner... and his cars.
But i'm sure all you bloke sare the same when it comes to your cars. :-)
PS - with regards to the Queens Dismond Jubilee in 2012, she will be wearing a white diamanté outfit. I know this as I am a time traveller, and know this for a fact.

Late people make my blood boil. It's as if they are saying, I don't care about your time on this earth, I'm going to make you sit there twiddling your thumbs whilst I do something I should have started several hours ago.

I must admit blokes (well, ok, I'll stop generalising - me and probably some others here) can be really bad at being on time; my ex used to do the "tell him to get here 15mins before he needs to be" so she could be sure I'd be on time when picking her up to go out.
We'd then quite often spend at least 15mins waiting while she finished getting ready (ok, sometimes she'd be at the door ready).
And when I did get there when she said (it did happen! Honest!) it wasn't worth it the majority of the time.

Both sexes can also be very good at "just out for a half hour" and still not be back 4hrs later. Mind you, when my flatmate does it I know she's got distracted down the pub and will probably come home a little drunk.
