Going to be long darling?
It’s pointless survey time again! Well, it would be pointless if it didn’t highlight a worrying trend in our society…
British men spend almost a year of their lives waiting for their wives or girlfriends, according to a new survey. The average man spends 22 weeks alone waiting outside shop changing rooms while their partner tries on clothes, and nearly a week sitting in their car before picking up wives or girlfriends from girlie nights out.
Six out of ten men say it drives them crazy, and one in ten were so annoyed by it they had dumped their partner. And one in five men admit to getting their own back by eyeing up other girls in the store.
A spokesman for the survey of 2,000 men for clothes website www.missbutterfly.co.uk said: “It’s staggering how long men have to wait.”
