Poor Time Management
Living with Sven hasn't done anything but reinforce stereotypes about the precision of Germans, that's for sure. To illustrate, here's some of our conversation from before we left for our choir concert Sunday evening:
Me: "I'm gonna go finish getting ready, Sven. What do you say we leave for the church in about 15 minutes?"
Sven: "Mmmm...nooo...we should leave in 12 minutes."
Okay, whatever you say Svenster, 12 minutes it is.
Twelve minutes later, though, I was ready, waiting for him, and he wasn't close to being ready. In fact, I'd say it was at least another 7-8 minutes before we stepped foot out the door.
Luckily, they didn't castrate us then and there for walking in three minutes late, but Sven might have been sweating it a bit.

Springsteen was just on VH1 Storytellers. I taped it for you. Now you have a good reason to come home. I think you can probably find some video on vh1.com if you're itching for a preview.
