    Because we are saying a prayer to thank God for us still being alive after riding in the car with the men in our lives. :flowerforyou:

    Bwahahahaha! So true. Good Lord that man scares me half to death!

    Its always such a suprise to my wife when we've arrived somewhere. Like she couldn't see we were pulling into the parking lot, getting into parking space, car is in park....THEN she suddenly realizes its time to get out of the car and starts reaching for her purse, putting on lip junk before getting out, putting away (or looking for) her sunglasses, etc.

    A couple times I've reminded her..."okay, now we're almost there, do you have your purse? Do you need any chapstick..?"

    The same theory applies to females and ATMs. If you've ever waited in line behind a woman, and in particular if the woman is also waiting to use the machine, will she have beem proactive and opened her wallet to retrieve her debit card thus preparing herself for her moment of cash retrieval? Ensuring the time spent in line is used wisely and productively? Hell no. Will she wait -- after just having sat in the line for 5+ minutes texting/talking on her phone/cropdusting those unfortunate souls behind her/checking her make-up -- until it is her turn to use the ATM to approach it and then start digging aimlessly into her black hole of a purse/handbag? Yes, yes she will.

    I have to finish my air guitar solo before I get out of the car.

    For me it's because of my knees, but I don't know why it takes other women so damn long.

    I've seen several do this, but I'm happy to say I'm not one of these people! Nothing worse then getting behind someone at the ATM, that make you wonder if they are trying to refinance their house instead of pulling out $50.

    God, I hate when this happens. It just happened to me over the weekend. I'm definitely one of those "prepared" ATM users so I've got my card out way ahead of time. I sat behind this lady for a good 10 minutes while she was playing with the ATM and I finally honked at her to get out of the line.

    Either get some money or move. It's not going to magically appear if you keep checking & rechecking the balance!

    Crazy thought - if someone is a passenger they could get their crap together before the car comes to a stop ;)

    I'm usually out long before my husband. He gets pissy and asks why I don't wait for him. Uh, wtf am I waiting for? Why do I want to continue sitting in the car?

    This is the same woman who waits in a 10 person deep line at Starbucks and STILL does not know what she wants to order. Grrr.....

    Oh and I get out of the car pretty fast unless I am in the convertible and then I have to let the top up first, so it takes a while.

    Because I need to turn the car off. Grab my coffee cup, my purse, my papers from work and my homework from school. That should take 15 seconds at least. Plus I am wearing a skirt and heals so I don't move as quickly as you men do when getting out of the car.

    There was ONE time when I took MUCH longer than him to get out of the car, but I was passed out drunk as skunk and he left me in there to sleep it off. Talk about dazed and confused when I woke up...lmfao!

    Haha! I've had to actually close doors and get back in to wait for them to get their snow clothes back on. "But it's hot dad!" "That doesn't mean you need to take your socks off!!"

    I think it's because dads didn't start training their daughters early. I've gotten to the point of making sure they're ready to get out well before we're stopped. With 3 kids hopping out it might look like a clown car, but damned it ain't got fast clowns!

    I'm almost always out of the car first. In fact sometimes I wait in the car because I don't want to just stand out in the parking lot waiting for my fiance, especially now that it's cold. :laugh: He also gets annoyed with me because I "walk too fast." He's always telling me to slow down. :smile:

    I am single. No little kids anymore (unless the grandson is with me). Nothing to hinder me, slow me down, or excuse me from getting out of the car either quickly or slowly!

    So..............what do I do? I do whatever the hell I want, thank you very much!

    lol..................most of the time, it's a quick departure - unless I have to check my purse for coupons, put on lipstick, unplug my phone, or any of the other 100's of things that need doin'!!!

    :laugh: I take my time.....at everything. Drives my husband nuts! I don't care. I'll get out when I wanna get out. Sometimes he opens the door for me....probably more because he is tired of waiting, not because of his amazing manners. Our 5 year old however, will stand in the car and scream at us to open the door for her and then se will hold her hands out and wait to be lifted out of the car(we have a large SUV and a very large truck). She is the baby and a true Princess...he obliges to her requests too! Her future boyfriends are going to HATE us!

    It's our finishing school education. Keeping out knees together while alighting so no-one sees our knickers takes some serious deportment training.

    IF ONLY Lindsay, Paris, Britney, and Kim had been to finishing school!

    I am already unbuckling my seatbelt before I even put the truck in park... if I am alone. Otherwise I take longer because I have to get my son down.

    One of the smartest moves I ever made was driving a lifted-up pickup when I was dating. Every girl needed help getting in. I didn't mind :wink:

    Why does it take women 15-30 seconds to get out of a car?
