Yes! I totally get it. I often think how it would go over if the shoe were on the other foot? Probably not well. If it's not done immediately the temper gets progressively more "spicy". I hate to stereotype but I think this might be one of these Mars vs. Venus type deals. Usually if I see something that needs done immediately oftentimes I just do it, instead of asking someone else.
Yeah, it certainly seems that way. I try to do the last bit that you mentioned there as well, and it always turns out I miss something. It never fails. I think it does help to know that this is a universal thing because I am in no way complaining about my dearest love :)
