It seems an inevitable law of romantic relationships that one partner will take longer to get ready then the other. Throughout the ages people have dealt with this situation in various ways including: standing by the door and getting pissed off, sitting in an idling car and getting pissed off, doing other chores around the house to stay busy while secretly being pissed off, or direct badgering of the slower partner; which usually serves to piss everybody off.  I have tried all of these methods with varying degrees of failure and much dissatisfaction. This weekend I hit on a far superior of dealing with this type of situation.

Stretch while you wait. 

This is the perfect solution because it is no coincidence that the faster, prompter (and dare I say superior) partner usually happens to be the tenser partner; both muscularly and in many other ways as well.  I can always use more stretching and I often have a hard time fitting it into my workout schedule. Stretching is a perfect activity to drop into any otherwise unproductive period of time, but its best done in a situation where you don’t mind bending over and sticking your rump in the air (not the line at the bank).

Implement this method and you will get more flexible as your partner gets prettier, everybody will be happy and you will never have to start another night on the town or day at the office with irritation and tight hamstrings.
