That moment

deefstes

... when you've reached your destination and are about to turn off your car but the guitar solo is about to start.

Psean

Hehe. Ever driven around the block until the song's finished?

Yes. And people get so impatient sometimes. I had a physio banging on the window once to tell me that she was in a hurry today and it was time for my appointment and can we get on with things please. I said sorry, but there is this rather fine piece of guitarmanship going on but she insisted. Oh well.... she'd already ruined the moment by then.

I have found out that there is some cunning scheme at my place of work such that you can never park your car other than half way through a guitar solo. Most unsatisfactory.

There's that Metallica album with no solos on it. That might come in handy.

When you absent mindedly tell the Mrs to stop talking cos the solo is about to start.. and once it's finished you

a) casually ask what she was going to say.. or,
b) skip back to the start so you can hear the bit she muffled out with her talking

Yeah, after that, you really face the music

This topic should be obligatory reading for spouses and girlfriends! It should make them feel better knowing that they are not alone and that it's not personal.

And the word 'Solo' takes on a whole new meaning!

Driven round the block? Check
Left car running to hear the song? Check
Don't want to waste petrol so you deliberately stall the car to not interrupt the song by switching off? Check

guilty of that, except now my daughter pipes up and tells me to go back as she couldn't hear her favourite part because the Missus was talking. I'll rather let her take the flack.....lmao.

.been there done that got the T-shirt. Or you stop and wait for the song to finish...which had just started and is like 8 minutes long.

Or you can just put Lou Reed"s "Metal Machine Music" on high rotation in your vehicle and do away with the problem altogether.....
