Related, my wife has a bad habit and proclaiming; "RIGHT, LETS GO!". 30-40 mins later she is still in the bathroom putting on her make-up...

Yeah that was never me. I'd be sitting in the fking car, waiting for him. Every. time.

Also, when we are attending functions, I deliberately tell her it commences 30-45 mins mins before the actual advertised start otherwise we are simply no chance of getting there on time....

That's very smart. I wish i had thought of doing that.

So what to do all you plate people do if u eat at the actual restaurant? No plates there.

I eat off the tray.


But i legit havent walked into a takeaway maccas etc for about 20 years so it doesnt really apply.

 

[Perth gal]

I sometimes get takeaway and go home or sometimes eat there.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Um wtf. I'll eat my entire plate if i want to, ill leave food on the plate if i get full prior. Its not rocket science and its not vanity.

If at a restaurant tho and the serving is too big (hello United States) i shall take it home in a doggy bag.

Okay, have just confirmed, I didn't make it up. It's definitely a thing (google "never finish your plate"), although in some countries the opposite can be taken as an insult. The first time I read something along those lines it was like an interview with someone like J-Lo and that was her diet advice: never eat until you're full.

my wife will wrap a present or write in a birthday card, 2 mins before we are supposed to leave, even though she brought it a week ago

 

[The Dice Man]

Eating. I cant have silence when there's eating going on. It's not just my wife, I hate the sound of anyone eating if there's no background noise. Mrs still hasn't worked out why I put the TV on at lunch time then turn it off after lunch.

I hate watching people eat too. It's really quite disgusting.

Fast and loose baby.

Just chuck his s**t out when he's not home

I've the opposite issue, my wife waiting for me, ever, during 28 years of marriage, let me think, nup, never happened.

I did dream one night a while back that she was detained by police over a minor incident and was forced to wait for me - but no matter how hard I try, I can't get that dream on repeat....

 

[raskolnikov]

Oh don't worry. I do.

Same here mate, what about you're half way across town, running late to a function (as usual) and she suddenly declares she left something in the oven..?

One time this happened and I was so pi**ed off, I said to her; "I don't give a rats, the house is insured!"

ask her to guess what you guys are having and what she says first you say yes and then thats sorted

I honestly used to ask for a bag and then sat down at a table, but haven't sat down to eat at Macca's in quite a while. Wouldn't have an issue with someone putting it all on a plate though. I feel like sometimes I put my Subway on a plate if I bring it home and I feel like I always put KFC, Red Rooster, Schnitz etc. on a plate. Just force of habit I guess, doesn't seem very logical.

She wastes dental floss..

i get the did you turn the stove off, after telling her numourous times its off, she will still worry about it

It’s a common one.

Yeah I’ve heard of doing that, maybe I’ll give it a go. I actually picked a restaurant she liked the other week, amazing scenes.

Always wants sex when footy is on and 4th qtr starting.

Anything to get out of having to watch a full GC game I guess...

What you do then is towards the end of the night, you find a related media article of a house fire with photos etc and has you hand over your ipad or phone to her you say, "gee, sorry love, I was 120% sure I turned off the stove...!!!"
