    Are they all this Farking slow?

    Went out shopping with the missus tonight.
    She calls Thursday night her night as it usually the night we go shopping at the Thai grocer shop which is about 25 minutes from us and the night her magazine is in from Thailand (Koo Sarng Koo Som) and also the night before the weekend comes when my three kids from my previous marriage come over. So tonight we went there and then went to a more local shopping centre on the way home.
    Ok admittedly she is near 7 months pregnant and only 150cm tall and I am 195cms tall (or 6.5 foot depend where you come from) but OMG she is so slow, I have never seen anybody walk so slow and I could never possibly imagine walking that slow and I just cant. She wants to walk along and hold hands but I cant coz I am paranoid we will slow people up behind us in the busy shopping centre as others always do to me. About a week ago one of my kids had a school play thing which we were runnig late for (coz she wanted to come) I was jogging because we were so late, but I had to keep stopping for her as she didnt know where his class room was. Anyway, in ending, she is the slowest walking human being I have ever come acrossa and doesnt change. She doesnt understand the difference between hurrying up and walking at her own pace, it is all the same, she just wonders along at her ki ki ut pace.
    Curious if others partners are same or just me :-(

    Perhaps she wants you to go ahead so she doesn't have to be seen with you.

    Insensitive twat.

    I have the exact opposite problem. Mine is about 165 cms tall but she has long legs and moves like a friggin olympic athlete. I have to keep telling her to slow down cause I have to jog to keep up..and I hate jogging....especially when it's 36C and the humidity is off the register....

    I married the slowest walker on the planet,if we start walking 100 meters together i end up 90 meters ahead.When travelling say we have a plane to catch i have to allow at least an extra 2 hours walking time.

    The biggest problem is when we are out with friends.I have to walk with our friends then drop back talk to the missus.Walk at normal pace and catch up to our friends.mind you the plus side is time she arrives where we are eating or drinking we have finished our meal.So she has to settle for mama noodles when we get in.

    I walk quicker than the wife so I'm always having to slow down, the problem is that when she see's me slow down, she also slows down, so we get in kind of a stale mate where we never end up walking together.

    555 Good to hear I am not on my pat malone.
    My missus is from Isaan and it surprises me that she is so slow coz she was out working on the farm when she was 6, but we have friends and the easiest one I can compare her to is a bid from Chaing MAi, she is an absolute bundle of fitness, there is not stopping her, even talks fast. But sadly not mine. Being and insensitive twat, I gave her a stern warning, speed up or be traded in and upgraded. 555555

    But seriously, frustrates the hell out of me.
    If there is nothing of interest to her everything is fine, but as she is pregnant we were looking in a number of baby clothes/cots/maternaty wear/ everything about preg and baby shops and she is absolutely anal about everything, reading every tiny little thing on the packets, christ i was falling asleep. She asked, what you think? What you think? I said oh god, if you want it just buy it and 75 % of it she just put back, even though i was holding them with the intent of purchasing.
    I think it is in her nature, she wants to anylise everything but normally she buys them, should see the collections of anytthing and everything she has. Just be nice if we could get around in 1 hour rather than 3.

    Fortunately, I am not the average farang who went to find a Thai woman out of desperation coz i couldnt find anything local or who wanted to be with me.
    More so I didnt get me a model or ex bar girl who is a stunning beauty.
    If you saw pics of us together you may retract that rather unqualified remark.
    Having said that, we are all entitled to our own opinion, and I respect that.
    We know a bloke who is 63 and married to a bird from Pattaya who is 26, now that looks odd, the missus and I are within a few years of each other, so i am pretty comfortable. But thanks for contributing.

    Walking?
    What is this walking you talk of?
    Thai people don't walk..they'd take the Wave from fucking bedroom to the bathroom if it was viable.

    555 Ocasionally she will grab the broom stick then I cant keep up, but that also isnt too viable indoors.

    Just thinking about this, it appears they have no sense of urgency!

    When the yellow shirts closed swampy,i was five days late for work manged to get us on one of the first flights out 8am.Still could not get her to move any faster,if that was enough to contend with the taxi driver decided to head to Chonburi.He did not know how to get to the airport,took about 15 minutes of heading in the wrong direction before he admitted he was lost.

    Walk? Walk? Are you out of your mind man? Motorbike everywhere, or....gets me to fucking walk the 20 yards to the shop with a handwritten note.

    "Rorn Rorn"

    Oooooooh but it's alright for me to go? Cheers Love.

    Seriously though, when she does have to walk it is fúcking slooooooooooooow. In fact too slow for a real human to walk at that pace. She's marginally slower than that 50st motherfúcker they had to cut out of the house. And she weighs about 8 stone piss wet though. Unfúcking believable.

    And yet when they're after a bit of your burger, or your last chip they can move like a Cobra on amphetamine.

    Maybe that's why they save the energy? Because they might have to use a mad burst of it to ensnare prey....or the last pringle.
