Number 2: Farding - No, not flatulence. Farding is a technical word used for that thing that the ladies (some guys too) spend two hours doing before they leave the house. In other words, putting on make up and fixing their hair. For the life of me I can’t figure out why that after two hours in the bathroom at home, they would need to pick and powder on the way to work. Please ladies, you look fabulous, gimme a break and save it for when your not in control of the minivan.
