Yes. It's all about left and right hemispheres of the brain and which gender uses which more or less than the other.

They will also read road maps differently, where men can look at a street directory upright (if you have bought one in the last 10 years) some women need to move the map around to follow the path so that the street they look at is in the same direction.

After the auto elec not being able to fix the lights on Monday I couldn't get back there until Thursday. Of course he couldn't fit me in, then I couldnt get back until today. So he told me to be there at 8.45 sharp today and it will be the first one he looks at. I get there at ******* 8.49am and stand there like a ******* for 15 minutes until some bird drives in (a customer) and says 'excuse me I need to park there, the mechanic won't be here for at least an hour' Ok no worries ill...WHAAAAA an hour? What dop you mean an hour, he said to be here at 8.45.

By this stage my shirt had started tearing off and I was a tinge of green, A ******* HOUR. YOU ******* campaigner. So i tore off down the road back home swearing and carrying on. I'm about to go back now. One of two things will happen. I'll get my money back in full or I'll be on the news tonight. I am ******* ropeable.
I need closure on this, what happened dammit?

:$ It's something inside because if you mess with it they do come on eventually so the fuses and bulbs were all fine. Anyhoo, they are working now hopefully they stay that way.
Sounds like just loose wires or connections. Easy money for the auto electrician.

Those holier-than-thou types who abuse retail workers at Christmas. Ma'am, it isn't my fault that little Timmy wants the thing that everyone else wants. It isn't my fault that despite having 150 of then they sold out in 2 days. It isn't my fault that we aren't getting any more before Christmas because the supplier has run out. It sure as hell isn't my fault that he saw it on TV for the 27th time this morning either. So while you scream bloody murder at me, remember the more that you yell the less I will do to help. I'll put on my retail smile, apologize profusely and offer a couple of options that I know you won't take, but I sure as hell ain't going to do anything to try and get you a good result because that just rewards your bad behavior.

Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

Women giving directions from the passenger seat really grinds my gears.

As I'm driving with the missus to the 50th birthday function for one of her cousins somewhere in Reservoir, she swears that she knows the way and has been there "stacks" of times before.

The road we are currently driving appears to fork in two directions just up ahead, one road goes off at 10 o'clock and the other at 2 o'clock. I made the fundamental mistake of asking her which direction we should take.

She replies, "LEFT!" whilst sticking her right arm out straight and pointing across the steering wheel.

I slammed on the brakes and refused to go any further until we could get directions from a passer-by.
Women have no sense of direction. I generally know the direction I'm facing all the time. North, East, West, South. Every woman I've ever been with hasn't had the slightest clue how to navigate, so I always told them to STFU and let me get us there.

Should've waited until they were finished arguing before she broke that news to them.
She usually has her phone on her most of the time, so I'm just bummed she didn't get it on video. She reckons she must've been blacklisted after that too. Got no more visits from religious nuts until after we moved.

Will do.

So much of that stuff is packed full of absolute crap and bottled in Hong Kong now.

Read the label very carefully.

This comes from Phu Quoc Island...a little bit of relatively unknown Viet paradise.

Use with caution. Very, very pungent.
Think I might be able to pick some up around the Dandy market area

Does she have any recommendations for a decent oyster sauce too? Nothing too gluggy or sweet

I spent a summer of a million years living in a share house with my bedroom upstairs on the north west corner

No air conditioning

I know where north, south, east and west is

When a mega dumb blonde who you knew before they got married to some wealthy putz is 'apparently' helping run the business and trys to act like they are all of a sudden intelligent and refuse to admit the stupid things they did before they were married to the point of getting angry when you remind them. Like driving into a drive thru bottle shop thinking its a service station.

That was back when I was a kid/adolescent. I ****en hated it, because I didn't really believe it. But I am my mum's firstborn so I was always her favourite, so I wanted to please her. At least it kept me out of trouble as a teenager, then I made up for it as a young adult :D

Why people think being rude will get them better service I will never understand.

Stupid flogs grind my gears. Which pretty much means most people most of the time. Even me sometimes, women or alcohol, worse women and alcohol, bring out the flog in me. Its like my brain just grinds to a halt.
