That women are sometimes late, that they take too much time on their toilette, is the meat of a long line of jokes. In this story reported by Saudi Gazette/Okaz, a husband may have taken the joke a little too much to heart. It appears that as his wife was taking too much time in the restroom, he got on his plane without her and left her in Malaysia. The couple were on their honeymoon!
The wife, unamused, is now asking for a divorce. I hope she gets it. Either the man needs to learn patience or needs to tone down his authoritarianism; the wife might need to work a bit on her own time management and respect for her husband and money, of course…

I was laughing my head off when I heard this story on the radio yesterday. Like the Arabic proverb goes: “The worst calamities make you laugh”. The radio report also mentioned that the poor woman financed most of the trip’s cost herself.

It would make me laugh if it was not so sad; are we talking about adults here ?

There’s a wonderful northern English expression, ‘There’s nowt (naught) so queer as folk’, that fits rather aptly.
