    I'm sure they are, but I still don't want my car damaged and have to go through the hassle of getting it repaired, rental car, etc....when it could've all been avoided by simply adjusting my seat.
    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

    I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

      When people don’t have the decency to stick around or leave a note or something when their trailer hitch pops the front end of your car.

            I used to supervise the valet department of a resort I worked at and therefor had to Valet on occasion. Seat adjustments are a must. I would get in to vehicles where my knees would be pressed against my chest it was so close or where i had to stretch my legs to reach the peddles. Everyone is different. Moving the seat back is nice in theory but normally when pulling a car around for someone on their way out they dont want to see you twiddling with their controls on the way out of the car. Best to just let them readjust.

            Mirrors always get adjusted due to packed parking garages and the cars always get backed in to the spaces.

                  I'm pretty sure my wife is the least time conscious person ever. She's constantly does stuff like the following (for context we work at the same place).

                  - I walk in her office at 5 pm getting ready to leave work - she's grabs her stuff then asks a co-worker who she's been working with all day an open ended question that results in a 5-10 minute conversation... Like "What do you have planned this weekend?" She couldn't have asked that at 4 or 4:30?

                  - We're leaving work to go grab lunch or an early dinner after work. Let's say it's a 10-15 minute drive to where we're going. When we're about a minute away from the restaurant she pulls her makeup bag out of her purse, so we end up sitting in the parking lot for a few minutes while she applying makeup..

                  - We're watching a movie late at night. I pause it to go ready to settle in for the night (go to the bathroom, brush my teeth, etc.) She's just laying in bed playing on her phone at the time. Then as soon as I get back in bed and grab the controller to hit play, she says she has to go to the kitchen and grab a snack.

                  I could come up with more... don't get me started on shopping with the woman. The joys of being married, ehh?

                    I knew people like that too. They'd ask you a question and start a conversation at the very end of the day. I don't mind what they're asking, but they couldn't have asked that 30-60 mins ago to fill up the end of the day? Instead, I often found myself leaving 10-20 minutes later than I am supposed to.

                    Most other people basically start packing beforehand and leave as soon as they can, with basically just quick "bye" on their way out, but people still around see me about to leave so they start conversations.

                          I am more amazed that you can handle working at the same place as your wife. I personally couldn't handle that. Too much of seeing each other, it will be like never leaving home. On another note, I would have punched you in the throat for pausing a movie for you can settle in for the night. Like you can wait until the movie is over or do it before the movie starts.

                              Probably just 3 times as confused. Better that it's not 3 emojis.

                              Apparently, the pause button is an abomination to our civilization and to our species. Using it is certainly worthy of receiving a throat-punch.

                                We could have a separate thread that is just about things are wives do that drive us crazy. And I'm sure they could fill a thread up about us too.
