It freaking drives me nuts when my husband calls while I am making dinner or
just after I have made it to tell me that he won't be home for dinner. Of
course if he had to work late, I wouldn't be upset. But that's never the
case. He just decides to go somewhere else on a whim. That leaves me with
a portion of food that may or may not be eaten on another day. And most
likely not. Sometimes he does this several days in a row and then he blames
me for cooking too much food!

As for the sandwiches, I mostly just buy them premade now. He can just go
to the fridge, take one and eat it. Otherwise we get to hear a whole lot of
screaming while he waits for me to finish whatever it is I am doing to make
the sandwich. And then while I am making the sandwich because I can never
make it fast enough.
