Audacity of Truth
As if a study was needed to confirm this
Heh:
LONDON (AFP) – British male drivers waste nearly six million hours a year lost on the road because they are reluctant to ask for directions.
Men who are lost wait an average of 20 minutes before giving up and asking for directions, while women only wait 10 minutes before seeking help, according to a survey from Royal Automobile Club Direct Insurance.
Men even endure a “nagging period” of around 10 minutes from their partner before throwing in the towel and stopping to ask the way, the poll showed.
Based on responses from 2,000 adults, the survey also revealed:
–Some 64 percent of couples admitted to having arguments over getting lost on the road.
– Only 27 percent of couples plan their journeys before setting off.
– Just 36 percent of couples rely on landmarks and road signs to find their destination
– One in four couples still scribble down basic directions on a bit of scrap paper.
RAC Direct Insurance product manager Craig Martin said awareness of the problem could improve driving standards.
“The anxiety, increased stress levels and road rage that can be caused by getting lost are unnecessary distractions on today’s busy roads when motorists need to be alert and able to concentrate,” Martin said.
“These problems can easily be avoided just by motorists taking a bit more time to plan their journeys,” he added.
Haven’t women being saying that all along?

Question : What is your biggest pet peeve about the intricate habits of men?
Mine? Men who are liberals with no common sense, economic understanding, perspective or a set of double-standards.
OK. I’m disqualified because I’m a man. But let me guess and say that ST would not like a metrosexual, wimpy, non-work hard, self-centered type of guy.
Did I hit the nail on the head?
At least we don’t put on makeup while we drive.
- The great all seeing Karnack asks for quiet from the audience, placing his finger tips on each of ST’s temples, falling into a studied trance as he concentrates…..
KARNACK: …..Ohhhhhh the pain…. Ummmm…I’m getting an image….. its coming through…. multiple images….Its …. Its a huge field of toilet seat covers, all in the upright position…. No wait…. its….its a bathroom sink covered with soggy half used soap bars and toothpaste tubes, squeezed from the top and the lids missing….. no wait……its….its…..the kitchen trash can overflowing as the male of the family lounges in the living room, glued to the couch watching his sportscasts…No…. its….its “I am not lost….I recognized that gas station we passed an hour ago….”…..Ahhhhh now I see it clearly….Its a man… huddled in the hallway with a roll of saran wrap clutched in his hands…. snickering, waiting in the wee hours of the morning for the expected screams from the bathroom down the hall….

I seldom ask directions because MOST OF THE TIME THE DIRECTIONS ARE WRONG!
Sister! Even for you this is a cheap shot. True, very true, but a cheap shot none the less. Good job. Peace
- One morning last month, driving to pick up my learning unit from school, I was sitting at a red light when a gal in a Sunfire convertible like mine pulled up next to me. I glanced over and saw she had her right foot, bare, propped up on the dashboard with those little white toe spreader thingies stuck between her toes, polishing her toenails. I *chuckled* for a minute, and then said….”I think you missed a spot…”… She laughed and then said….”Oh its ok…I have far enough to drive I’ll have plenty of time for at least two coats…..”…. Okkkkkkkkkkaaaaayyyyy then…..

ST: That was YOU Bang? OMG ……..
Enrique: “Question : What is your biggest pet peeve about the intricate habits of men?
”
ST: Got a few hours? (just kidding!)
Bak: To answer your question, it’s been my experience that liberal and conservative men are very similar – except, of course, when talking about politics
steve: What do you mean “even for you”? I rarely give out cheap shots but on the rare occasions I do, the people usually deserve it
- ST: That was YOU Bang? OMG …
- I’d say I’d recogmize those pretty toes anywhere, but ahem…. TMI….
- Bang the angel –
- Ummmm…. that didn’t sound so good….. *cough* ….Let me rephrase that…
- The angelic side of Bang –
At least men can fold the maps regardless of whether they use them.
Bang, I’d a been the one who hopped in the car to help her! Safety is important!
- Bak….I started to post something about toe spreaders and very quickly it became obvious theres just no way to avoid getting in deeper and deeper and….. wait….. TROUBLE….I ment trouble… really….WELL I DID! …. oh never mind…

I love the valiant; but it is not enough to weild the broadsword, one must also know against whom….Nietzsche. An old guy once told me, a thousand years ago, “it ain’t quantity pal, it’s quality”. What do you think Sister? Peace
Most of you guys have an advantage over me. When I first came to Japan, I didn’t know how to ask for directions. Then I learned how, but couldn’t understand the directions. Ergo, I drive while the sun’s up and set sail. I usually return from my adventures on almost the same roads I went in on, usually.
One hundred years ago, I was married and if I got spun, I’d ask my then wife (BTW-Ex wives w/kids and Ex marines-no such thing)
which way to go. She was 100% every time. She’d say right and so naturally I go left and we’re back on track. An asset she was to be sure. Knowing what not to do is as important as the reverse. 
- Looks like our resident troll has finally achieved nirvana, and become one with his play station. Just be careful not to leave any bright shiney objects laying around….

Bang, That reminds me of how we use to catch coons when I was a lad.
Toes on the dashboard?
Pah!
Got one better…
I was on my way to work, travelling 70 MPH on the highway, and had a woman PASS me, while holding a BOWL in one hand and POURING milk from the other….
Accident waiting to happen.
Like getting behind a car full of people in neck braces…
ST is gonna KILL me…lol
