The Relationship/Wedding Thread

Yeah that’s the main thing I find annoying about others being late – when the other person dismisses it as if it’s funny or no big deal. “Oh you know me, I love my sleep, I couldn’t drag myself out of bed” etc.

Or when they say “have you been waiting long?” Err yeah, I’ve been waiting half hour because I was here at the time we agreed to meet.

OK, so this absolutely is not my phrase, but growing up in East London my best mates were chronically late, like all the time. They started off by referring to their lateness as them operating on “Asian time”, something I clearly wouldn’t understand. Over time the focus shifted to me apparently operating on “white time”, as if me actually being on time was some sort of strange cultural quirk that put me outside the mainstream :joy:

In America, I’ve heard people use the term “black time” as well, for exactly the same thing haha

whenever we have a family meet up we always tell my uncle it starts 30 minutes earlier then it’s supposed to because his time keeping is terrible, that always works

It’s chronic now to the point we don’t realize how far it is gone.

It began with if you say 8, we will come by 8:30.
Now that everyone realized 8 means 8:30, everyone started coming at 9.
Soon everyone realized no one will come till 9, so they decided they will come by 9 which would mean they would reach by 9:30 and so on.

So currently 8 means 10…next day.

My wife has this stupid quirk where she can’t for some reason brush her teeth at the same time that she has a shower, so when its time to leave for anything I get “hang on I’ve got to brush my teeth” so we are always at least those 5 minutes late to pretty much everything.

Luckily when you have a child that can’t talk you can just say that he did a massive shit and that’s why we’re 15 minutes late.

Do you brush your teeth while showering?

  • Yes
  • No, because its very easy to make the time to do them separately like a normal person

Haha yep my family all use thay term!

‘Asian timing’ is exactly the what you and I are complaining about I guess. The acceptance of such a trait that you begin to playfully dub yourself a label over it. :joy:

I don’t have a shower so I can’t anyway

Enter washroom,
Poop while browsing OA, Poop some more because you want to play a game, keep pooping because the game didn’t end.
Shower, brush teeth, shower some more, clean up and out of washroom in 20-30 minutes.

The way I see it, if I’m brushing my teeth in the shower, I’m not spending that time washing, I’m spending that time brushing my teeth and then continuing washing afterwards. I just spend three minutes longer in the shower using more hot water than I otherwise would do.

Let’s be honest it’s multi tasking and beyond most of us.
How do you rinse your mouth btw.

There’s also the risk of toothpaste falling onto your nether regions which isn’t a risk worth taking.

I don’t shower while brushing teeth. I take a break from shower to brush my teeth.
It would be waste of water to brush during shower.
