Herself needs new shoes for work, but she hates shopping (Yay!) - so She's been complainign that her work shoes leak for a month or so. Today, I insisted she got new ones.
So she decides the town we go to, and I drive her over there.
First shop: nothing she likes.
Second shop: nothing she likes.
Third...you get the idea.
Final shop: nothing she likes.
Solution?
Go to a different town? No: Go back to the first shop and buy the first pair she tries on... 
She does this every time! Just for that I won't tell her she has a dentists appointment until 30 minutes before it's due, this afternoon...

That sounds extremely strange. I have never met a woman who doesn't like shopping for shoes - and that to an extend that she will buy around 200 pairs more than she needs... 
Are you sure that she's not sick?

Herself is pretty good in that regard: I think she has only about four pairs.
But she hates shopping - which is good in that she doesn't spend much, but bad in that I have to do it.
The trouble with that is that sometimes she has to be forced into it: shoes and suchlike that you have got to try on. And then she spends the entire time swearing... 
Still, I'll get my own back this afternoon - she hates dental check-ups even more!

it should've been
1) drop swmbo/'er indoors at shop
2) go to pub
3) wait for swmbo/'er indoors to finish shopping

You're expecting a woman to like the first thing she sees? C'mon, love at first sight is a property of men. :P
public class Human {
public bool Gender { get; set; }
public bool LovesAtFirstSight { get; set; }
}
Now if you set true for Gender you set true for LovesAtFirstSight, otherwise it throws exception, chief.

Picking Boolean as the type for a property called Gender is an interesting choice.

But not a practical choice.

Well, actually it makes perfect sense. Either you've got a 1 or you've got a 0.

And what if you have both? Or none?
(More common than you might think!)
Or if you started with a 1 and are moving to a 0?
Or you have a 1 body and a 0 mind?
I think gender is rather more analog than digital...

You mean like if you lose it in the war???
Dang, I mentioned the war. Don't mention the war! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it...

How does that work? Do you buy two pairs of the same shoes or are the front and back feet different sizes?

I hate that people refer to their wives as herself.
Nothing personal, it just sounds terrible.

Not a chance!
After nearly 37 years we have an arrangement: I don't go clothes or shoe shopping with her and she doesn't ask.
On the other hand she always comes when it's my turn, no doubt attempting to ensure I don't make a COMPLETE fool of myself. Even after 37 years she hasn't worked out that that's futile!

I wonder if I have found the ultimate lurker, 1 message in 10 years and a rep of over 2k. Which probably indicates he actively browses the the site very regularly.
I was browsing the comment on this article[^] and noticed nearly everyone was low rep with (to me) unpronounceable names when I ran across him.

I follow The Big Yin's Life Lessons (at the end of the first biography his wife wrote of him "Billy"):
Tread gently on anyone who looks at you sideways.Have lots of long lie-ins.Wear sturdy socks, learn to grow out of medium underwear and, if you must lie about your age, do it in the other direction. Tell people you're ninety-seven and they'll think you look f*cking great.Try to catch a trout and experience the glorious feeling of letting it go and seeing it swimming away.Never eat food that comes in a bucket.If you don't know how to meditate at least try to spend some time every day just sitting.Boo joggers.Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I love the Big Yin and this is excellent advice
