Q: According to a new survey, the average man spends more than 3 weeks of his life waiting for this?

A: His significant other to finish shopping

According to a new survey, the average man spends more than three weeks of his life waiting for his wife or girlfriend to finish shopping.

The average couple goes shopping together two times a month.  And women spend 23 minutes browsing, trying on things, and buying stuff while the guy either follows her around or just awkwardly sits somewhere in the store.

That adds up to nine hours and 22 minutes a year.  And over the average adult lifetime, that works out to about 24 total days.
