It just took DH 15minutes.....

[manasaw]

To get 2 pillows and 4 cans of cider out of the caravan on the drive. He thinks this is normal.

AIBU to think it's not?

I'm suffering this as we speak with DM AKA Lady Faffington. In our way to pick up DB from train station. He arrives in an hour. Station is half an hour away. But she wants to go to Asda first which takes at least an hour.

Hope DB has battery on his phone to amuse himself.

Omg she's hoovering!! We should have left 10 mins ago!

What did she say when you told her the time the train is due in?

I told her last night and this morning. I'll mention it when she finally joins me in the car (in 78 years) but she'll just shrug

I'd struggle so badly to watch....

LIVE FAFFING!

I am tuning in for the minute-by-minute procrastifuckaboutery drama.

Currently stuck in horrendous traffic. Obviously that's the reason we're late and nothing to do with faffing ... she's now considering stopping for petrol...

I am guessing threesocksmeghan is now driving and will give her next update hiding behind the fresh bread stand in Asda.

Oop x-post

Suggested we skip asda and instead pop into aldi after picking up DB. She agreed. But somehow we're still in asda...

She can't remember which flavour food the cat likes best... Might be here a while!

This is somewhere between excruciating and hilarious.

I have to admit though if itbwas the brother is be really pissed off st the fact that I could have got a bus or taxi and been home by now and instead I'm having to wait for people who offered to pick me up then left me hanging around...

Yet it's so amusing also...

3 mins til train arrives. Just queuing up...

Yep. Must stop and read all the headlines of the newspapers as we wander past...

This is gold, I'm captivated!

Here, socks

No, wait*

Hahahaha Polly!!!

DM: just popping in for petrol.
Me: You have 1/4 tank still.
DM: I know... but while I'm here...

Train was in 11 mins ago. DB knows better than to chase us up...

Loving the live faff updates!

Out of interest, how would your DM react if by the time you eventually got to the station DB just...wasnt there? Had gotten a taxi?

I always suspect that faffers dont really believe that other people are real people and would be shocked to be told "youre too late, Ive made other plans".

Just picked him up. Over 20 mins late. Now on our way to Aldi. I'm not sure why as we've bought everything in asda already??

DB and I are so used to this it doesn't bother him. 20 mins late is quite good going tbh. I on the other hand get the rage so refuse to accept lifts anywhere, for any reason. It's quicker to walk than stand around!!

Some of the imagery on this thread really is quite excellent

Just got in. Nearly 2.5 hours after we left. Spent nearly as much in aldi as we did in asda and I've no idea what we've actually bought

I should start chivvying her towards dinner if I were you!
