Why girls are always late

I have mentioned it before: I have the endlessly annoying trait of always being 5 minutes late. Or 10 minutes. I have long thought that this is just my bad character, but actually all my girlfriends have it too. Actually, all girls have it. But why is that actually? Well, for the following reasons. So the next time a man (it's usually men) starts complaining that you're late, you can explain in detail that it's not your fault, that's just how you were born.

Because your makeup sometimes doesn't work

I am blessed with fairly long eyelashes, but the downside is that sometimes I have a bad eyelash day. Then my mascara just doesn't work and I have to redo it a thousand times, and so I'm late.

Because your stuff is still in three different bags

Because on the weekend you used a clutch, so there's some stuff in there, during the day you used a crossbody bag where there's still some leftover, and for your workday you want that bigger bag that fits your laptop. So before you can leave the house, you have to rummage through ALL your bags to gather everything together, and that just takes a lot of time.

Because you decided at the last moment that your outfit wasn't good after all

Because that can happen. Suddenly it just doesn't feel right and everything has to come off again, and the whole process starts over from scratch.

Because you have so much stuff with you that you always forget something

You go work out before you go to the office, after work you have a drink with your colleagues, and then you sleep at your husband/boyfriend/flame/lover/affair, and the next day you go straight to work. So you have eight thousand things with you, and packing all that takes quite an operation, so yeah, something is bound to go wrong.

Because things just disappear

And that's not our fault. I don't often lose my keys or phone, but when I do lose them, it's 5 minutes before I have to leave, and they are nowhere to be found. And that, dear people, is beyond my control.
