The strange urge your significant other has to do when you have tickets to the (insert important event here). It happens every time, and you are powerless to stop it, like a rocket trying to escape a blackhole. Time floats by, until you reach the point of no return. Late is better then not going. . .at least your significant other looks good.

Note: When someone else takes time to fix their personal effects, its primping. When you take time to fix your personal effects, its just cleaning yourself up.

Primp (?), v. i. & t. [Cf. Prim, a.]

To be formal or affected in dress or manners; -- often with up.

Halliwell.
