My wife will spend hours in front of the bathroom mirror fixing herself up. But then waits until we are in the car and ACCELERATING DOWN THE ROAD before she puts on her lipstick!!!! Then she complains that I’m not driving smooth enough. WHY? TELL ME WHY? She just says “because that’s just how I do things” Does anyone else have this dilemma? Or should I just shut up and be quiet.

Guess you will never understand women.

It's kinda ridiculous, but once some girls leave the house, they feel as though their appearance changes through just being in the air; so they have to "touch up". I, on the other hand, enjoy putting makeup on and looking good. But I would never just pull out the lipstick tube or foundation container and start applying it in traffic. I think women should just apply their makeup at home and not worry if it's going to fade just because you're exposed to the air.

I personally am a quick girl I take showers at night and blow dry my hair in the morning and that takes like 5 minutes then i put on my make-up and that takes like 5-10minutes, so I don't have that problem but one time I saw a women at a stoplight putting her make-up on and I was thinking "what is wrong with her?! shes going to get in a car accident soon enough if she does that every day" I dont get why people do that I would be to afraid to do that.

Lipstick wears off fast. Even the ones they tout as 'long wearing' or whatever. We wait til the last possible second to put it on so that when we arrive at our destination, hopefully we look completed, not half-finished. Sounds like this is a pet peeve. I hope you have the privilege of laughing together about this little quirk when you are both old and grey.

Hmmm, i dont kno about lipstick but i dont put on my lipgloss until im in the car too. I think its because thats the one thing that has room for mistakes, women dont leave the house without their basic make up like foundation, they dont wanna draw their eyeliner on crooked in a car, they dont wanna get mascara all over their eyes in the moving car, but lipstick/gloss is different, it has a larger surface area than eyeliner or mascara and they can wipe it off without messing up the rest of their make up.

it's just one of those woman things that men will never understand. i do it because i want it to be the "freshest" by the time i get to my destination and while we are at home, we are eating, or getting kids ready and things like that that could cause our lipstick to get smudged or wear off. So, we put it on right before we get where we are going so it looks the best.

We do it because it all came off while we were eating out breakfast. Besides it looks better if you do it while driving, hello that's why they put the little mirror on the visor!
