Irritates me that I can't change my vote on this.
I just don't understand that. Which size popcorn you get is such an insignificant decision. It just doesn't matter at all.

I decide very quickly. Probably too. This drives my wife nuts.

My wife takes forever. In a diner on Chinese place with 309 menu items I have to beg her to decide. This drives me nuts.

My wife always asks the server, "What's better, the fruition di mare or the lamb chop?" Then she always changes her order. I always recommend to the server that they act like whatever she orders is the greatest thing on the menu if they want to make it easy on his/herself. And me.

If its fairly unimportant, which I believe 99% of our decision are, then I'm pretty quickly decisive. If I'm doing something important, I'll research a bit, but I know what general preferences I have, so I make a call pretty quickly.

If no one will die from it or care in a year, then I can probably make a quick call one way or the other and be fine.
