Panto in an hour, guess what my husband is doing ?

[haretodaygonelater]

Pulling up the patio as the slabs are uneven! I mean yeah it needs done, but today!!

Interestingly all journeys in Man Time are twenty minutes, regardless of distance.

Did he mishear when you said panto ?

Update
We made the panto in plenty of time, we go every year at Christmas and all really enjoy it.

I'm shocked at how many hate it to be honest.

I think he just has his own internal clock, he is very laid back and it's not unusual for him to be pottering about. He did get a lot done of it today and usually finishes jobs quickly so he isn't a bad guy, just very chill!

Panto? I'd rather be sticking needles in my eyes.

Loved that, thanks!

It was subconscious, I didn't realise until later. And it was an epic amount of dishes! No regrets

I love a panto. Saw two this year. Have not moved any slabs.

He’s unaware of where the man ended up in brookside

My kids dad left his 4th birthday party to go help a friend move a bed

Its to note the same men habits transverse the ocean to the US.😂😂😂

To your headline

I was hoping the correct response was
He's behind you.
😁

If it gets the patio (and other things) done - perhaps book a few more holiday outings?

🤣🤣🤣

Let's be honest no matter what he does, you'll never be happy.

Ah, another example of male avoidance. When we were little and going on holiday we would all be sat in the car waiting for my dad to finish faffing around in the house My mother would be going ballistic in the car, he would be sauntering around "checking the window locks" or some other nonsense he had come up with. He did it every time, without fail. We always went on holiday, it was just some weird protest faff about. Make sure he doesn't replace all the patio slabs OP, make it easier for you to bury him under them.

Guests knocking on the door to be let in. Ex-husband would decide it's time to have a shower.

As pp said avoidance behaviour.

Every time we were going on holiday, I'd be running around getting myself and the DCs packed, tidying, sorting out cat sitting etc etc. DH would slowly get the ladder out to put all Dvds, DVD player and laptop in the loft for "security". Fine. But this is the same man who would regularly leave the back door unlocked (and occasionally open wide) overnight. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was gonna say, either he is taking a shit or doing some unnecessary job.

They are good, or rather think they are good at looking busy to avoid actually doing their fair share.

Do we share the same father 🤣

Last year on Christmas eve, DH decided to change the hinges on all the kitchen cupboards. The hinges he replaced were new when we had a new kitchen in 2019. There was nothing wrong with them, it was completely out of the blue. I was preparing food, cleaning, wrapping etc. etc. and he was fiddling about with his screwdriver and making an unscheduled visit to B&Q. I really don't know how his mind works.

The running a bath ones reminded me that DH also regularly chooses to trim his nails when we are trying to leave the house to get somewhere.

He really seems to have no ability to prioritise what is important.

On Xmas eve we were desperately trying to get to the in-laws in time for a meal they’d prepared. DH decided it was time to vacuum the whole house shortly before we needed to leave. To be fair it probably did need a vacuum but could have waited a couple of days as we were staying with the in-laws over Xmas so wouldn’t be home.
I was relieved when he finished as I thought we’d just about get there in time now… only for him to announce that he still needed to have a shower 🙄

I'm a bit guilty of this. Give me slightly too much time and I will find something to do my mind wandering- which will inevitably be something bigger than I thought, leaving me with yet another unfinished project.
Usually starts with:"I wonder what will happen if I...."
Or
"Ooh, look at that...."

Conversations take similar detours.

Whenever we were having visitors two hours before they were due to arrive my DH would always have his bucket in his hand ready to clean the fish tank. I eventually got rid of the fish.
