I've always done the back wheels distance.  I was told that was the distance to stop by an advanced driving instructor.

Tried the number plate distance today and fully expect to see a post about me on the "c***s on the Road thread"...way too close to the SUV type cars, even your standard 5 door cars, I'd be struggling to get round if they broke down in front of me.

"Lets get the Christmas Tree tomorrow" I was told yesterday.

"OK" I said................. now admittedly I was out last night and pished as a fart - however I was still up at 7.30 today.

STILL FUCKING WAITING ON MY BELOVED TO GET HER ARSE INTO GEAR

We don't live together and she was picking my up at 10.00 on Sunday.

 

Got a message at 09.45 'just ready to leave'. She lives 10-15 drive away. Arrived at 10.44. I did not complain as it is pointless, just placed my hand on her neck and said 'I'm freezing now', as had been outside waiting so long. Her reasoning was it was my own fault I was cold as she is always late.

 

I never know if 'getting ready to leave / leaving now' means she is actually leaving, looking for keys, in car and actually about to leave, talking to her kids for half an hour before leaving, distracted by a phone call/message. And dare I risk it being the 5% of occasions when she is on time.

If further not helped by here inability to judge time and distance as no matter where she is and where we going in the city she reckons on it only being 10 minutes to get there. Any wonder she always late. 

Add the fact she not very good with space either as 75% of car trips involve bouncing off a curb at least once.

Total lack of understanding of time and distance and space - my partner is the Anti-Tardis 

My wife's the same, everywhere is only 10 minutes.

ME: I need to be away.

Her: It's only 10 minutes.

Except, of course, if it's her appointment/rendezvous (even when it's one of these 10 minute places) then it's "We should have been away."

Well, dear, I've been sitting here ready this last 10 minutes, waiting for you to gather up whatever it is you gather up before you venture forth.

Not posted in here for a while but does anyone else partner not understand how to ventilate a house in the winter? 
 

She was complaining that the house hadn’t been heating up today into this evening, just home and both radiators in the living room have clothes over them as they were “slightly damp” but yet it’s the heating that’s no working.

Cannot wait for the complaints of condensation on the windows and calls for new windows…

a never ending jenga pile of recycling on the end of the worktop, even if I've been in town all day and she's at home it never gets moved.

In the bin with it all. Any bin.

I bought us a 2024 calendar last week that also has the final 4 months of 2023 on one page. 

Scrolling through the calendar and I see she's filled in all family birthdays, medical appointments, holidays etc for 2024. Whose birthday isn't on the calendar even though it's a mere 4 days after hers? It's a petty point but could you imagine if a man was to forget a woman's birthday

Could this be the most subtle dumping ever?

Has she put hers on it?

Of course. She's also got my parents birthdays in even though we don't really see or hear from them much other than Xmas, birthdays, Easter etc.

I wouldn't spend too much time mulling over the inner workings of the brain of a person who has to put their own birthday on a calendar.  I'd be more upset if my wife put my birthday on a calendar than if she didn't.

Has she also put Christmas on it? New Year?

Put yours up on the wrong date, 4 days before hers.

If she points it out say 'so you do know when it is bitch',

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year x.

Make a plan for that day, not including her, perhaps a meeting with a few friends at the Local. If she complains, “well, I checked the calendar and there was nothing going on that day”. Then invite her along.

She's making soup and god bless her ,she couldn't make it if her life depended on it (it gets served in slices)  also,I'm trying to find where in the recipe it says that lentils have to be thrown round the kitchen like confetti

Either that or he should just mark his birthday with 'BJ' and see what happens

[eindhovendee]

She came home today with a calendar for 2024.
