One of our famous problems is catching flights.... The first time was when he missed the flight to Barcelona because he did not leave early enough for the airport. After that, I always got my way about what time we should leave when we need to catch a flight. When I set that time, we do not have a problem.
The second flight problem was when we were in Thailand and our flight left at 2.... am not pm, which is when we arrived at the airport. This turned out to be an expensive mistake, but we were truly glad to spend another week in Thailand and we do not feel we need to go back anytime soon, maybe it ended up saving money in the long run. So, today, when my husband informs me he missed his flight to Dalian because he did not get to the airport on time, I really found I did not have words for him.
In addition to catching flights he has other problems with tickets too. Most notably, the expo tickets. I wont get into the details, but suffice it to day, he screwed up twice.
So I told him I was going to start keeping track of all the dumb things he does as a sort of insurance policy for some future incredibly stupid mistake I will inevitably make. I will try to remain kind and courteous and not too mean or sarcastic when these things happen. I will just collect them and save them for a time when I do something so stupid that it was beyond anyone's imagination.
In the meantime, I will pay more attention to flight departure and airport departure times.... Apparently, he needs monitoring on this matter.
Sometimes I wonder if I am just super lucky for marrying such a guy who finds such outstanding ways of blowing it. He also sucks at admitting his mistakes and somehow finds a way to blame me for it. I am usually too smart for that but it doesn't stop him from trying. I wonder if all men are like this. I wonder how much other people need to manage their husbands. I have decided in order to manage mine, I might be smarter to get a MBA rather than a PhD.
