Why is it necessary, when packing for a holiday, (bear in mind this is a couple of weeks in another part of Europe where everything is readily available and probably cheaper than where we live), for a woman to...

a) be completely freaked out if her partner is not packed 2-3 days before travelling, (I always pack 10 minutes before leaving the house).

b) be unable to possibly survive two weeks without 5 almost identical pairs of damned sandals.

c) assume that my pack is available for her use.

d) then having used all the space in my pack with piles of un-necessary rubbish, moan that I haven't got enough "decent" shirts and ties with me?

Okay, that being said, I'm off for a couple of weeks so be good!
