There's a mall in Barcelona that my wife enjoys a lot (it's like a palace inside).
In male restrooms there are some adverts on top of the urinals that explain there's the male parking were beers can be bought, TV's, consoles and other fun things can be used for free so meanwhile your wife is buying you can at least have a good time.
Never been there, but I've always found it funny.

It is not true, my fault writing it...
I guess this answers your question...

Are you implying that there is the possibility that a woman can shop for short amount of time?

I like the 3 dollar monster water guns, have to inspect them for defects that can take a few minutes... I just assume everyone does the same.

Blinders and a list next time.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Yeah right!
You must be married too.

No but now you know why.

The trick is to go in with her, and then complain that she's taking too long. That'll shave off at least 20-30% of your wait time.

Been there done that. Did I mention the part about three kids? Easier to control them in the confines of the car then letting them loose in what amounts to a giant candy/toy store.
But she was out of there in a mere hour after spending 8 dollars.

Ah, typical! An hour (in a dollar store) is usually anything between 5-10 bucks. Standard wife-pattern.

Take her to a MehGerbil flick.

I've been doing this computing lark for quite a long time and still like to get my hands dirty crafting beautifully manicured code.
What I don't do, nor do I recall ever having to do, is create a custom sort algorithm. I don't think I could without looking it up; oh, I know what many of them are called and recall, vaguely, the workings but I doubt I could articulate any of them without looking it up first.
There are probably many other 'skills' I learnt in the dim and distant past but have now forgotten due to lack of use (like Visual Basic ).
What did you learn and never get around to using or, in fact, ever need to use?

Went on a week's course in London three or four years ago and haven't touched it since I got back.

"Z"[^] and I don't think I've knowingly used De Morgan's law[^] this decade.
Also - in a non IT context - I've never had to give the hand signals for "I am slowing down" etc. I learnt for my driving test.

I've given lots of hand-signals to other drivers, but I don't remember giving that one.

Really? I use it all the time... I'd just forgotten what it was called until just now.

I use quite a bit, I do hardware more than software. I still think it's odd to be honest.

Nah, makes perfect sense, unlike most "laws"...
