Women Better Than Men At Multitasking
Posted on Wednesday, January 16, 2008I see!
At long last I have an explanation.
Listening to the radio this morning, I heard an expert explain that women’s brains are not the same as men’s. Women’s brains, apparently, have more long-distance connections, and this allows them to do many things at the same time, like, for example, watching TV and talking at the same time. This is called multitasking.
Hmm.
Well that explains a lot. It explains, for instance, why women keep right on talking while you’re trying to hear the absolutely vital bit in the movie where the detective explains who did the murder. That’s a very endearing quality in women.
One thing I still don’t get, though.
If women are so good at multitasking, why do they pack away every last item at the checkout before they go searching for their purse?
Stumble it!

Can’t answer that one for you - not a big purse fan. Usually only take the wallet to the grocery store…we have a problem around here with people robbing purses left in shopping carts anyway

And why I’m at it, can you explain why a man would let himself be roped into a movie that he doesn’t want to see, only to mock it during the entire movie thus ensuring that he pisses his woman off so much that she will never see a movie again with him?
LG and I have discussed this. We don’t get it. If we don’t want to watch something, we don’t.
In fact, I only watch movies that I really like when I’m at home alone. And it’s not like I’m watching crap. I heard more yammering and movie mocking during “Hotel Rwanda” than I heard in high school….

Whoops! Language gets in the way again. Over here, we say “purse” when we mean “wallet”. If we were talking about what an American would call a purse, we’d say “handbag”.

Ah, that explains it then.
Do you have wheelies over there? If not, they are shoes with wheels built into them.
My top annoyance has to be parents who let their little darling monsters race around the grocery store on them, narrowly avoiding other shoppers, withouth correcting that behavior….

Yes. We have them. They’re for helping fat little children to break their necks.

Could I get so lucky!
I’m turning into a cranky old woman, I chastise other people’s children in public places for acting like mannerless monkeys

This is also why women can speak on their mobiles (or type a text), put on makeup and drive at the same time. This is also is why their husbands buy them armour plated SUVs to bring the kids to school…
