Are You Ready Yet?

Written By:  Andrew Eide

Does your woman constantly ask you “Are you ready yet?” but she is the one who makes you wait while she gets ready?

You have an appointment at 9:30 a.m. and you must leave by 9:00 a.m. to arrive for the appointment on time.  At 8:30 a.m. the woman asks the man, “Are you ready yet?”  The man states that she should not worry about him as he will be ready by 9:00 a.m. and that she only needs to concentrate on getting herself ready.

At 8:45 a.m. she demands that her man get dressed now so they won’t be late.  The man obliges because he is tired of hearing her complain that he is not dressed yet.  At 9:00 a.m. he checks on her and she hasn’t even started to get dressed yet!  He calculates the time needed for her to shower, do her hair, put on makeup, check everything three times, and then get dressed. He determines they will leave at 9:30 a.m., if that, and they will be late for their appointment.

The man gently pushes the woman by saying, “(name), please, we needed to leave at 9:00 a.m. to get there on time for our appointment at 9:30 a.m.  If we are not there at least 10 minutes before our appointment, they cancel the appointment, charge you for the missed appointment, and it takes weeks to get another appointment set up.  The woman takes offense to this and says, “That’s okay we won’t be late.”  She doesn’t realize they are already late.

If the man makes the comment: “Why do we always have to be late for appointments?” the woman takes offense and claims they are not “always” late.  The man tries to soften his comment by saying, “You’re right.  We are not always late, but we are late most of the time.”

The woman is finally ready by 9:30 a.m. and they are out the door.  They arrive a half hour late for their appointment. They find out their appointment was cancelled and given to another person and they got charged for missing their appointment by not cancelling ahead of time.

If you want to be on time you need to follow the instructions of your man.
