This is a question Driven to Madness

Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Men have more places to stash things
Inside jacket pockets x 2 (or more)
Outside jacket pockets x 2 (or more)
Front trouser pockets x 2 (or more)
Back trouser pockets x 2 (or more)
Shirt pocket(s)

Women have one: handbag

They can't use pockets; as it would 'spoil the line'. So they have to spend half an hour rummaging through a lot of stuff in one place, rather than just reach quickly into one place with nothing else in it.* Usually a lot more stuff than an equivalent bloke would have distributed about pockets (generally, no curling tongs/hairbrushes/makeup/sanitary products etc.)

*Unless they've put it somewhere else, in which case they have to spend half an hour checking every pocket. Twice.

And Mrs Entity's point still stands.

I've wondered about this
but surely "I only have one big handbag" is even more of an argument for getting your money/ticket whatever ready in plenty of time, or at the very least making sure you know where it is, instead of waiting until the last possible moment. Or am I being too rational?
