Anyone else afflicted with the "One trip from the car to the house" disease?

My wife says it is a "guy thing". I don't make two trips, ONE and done! I'll hang grocery bags from every finger, hell I'd hang one (or more) around my neck if I could. Same with after work and my gym bag, mail, and maybe a few things from the liquor store or quickie mart. One trip baby! I find it a challenge sometimes. My wife rolls her eyes and says "Oh for God's sake, I'll make another trip". Nope, I WILL succeed!

Who is really wrong? The person wanting to get it all done at once or the person who has all day to go from one spot to another?

Paper not plastic.
Double the paper bags up, they'll hold three times as much as plastic and you can carry four paper bags in one trip pretty easily. Bag your own groceries, kids don't know anything about loading paper bags. Essentially you've got the contents of twelve plastic bags in four doubled paper bags.
Just as a side note plastic bags suck for pretty much everything, it takes forever for them to break down and if you've ever broken some beers 'cause the plastic bag took a dump, well there's your solution.
Save your doubled paper bags and reuse them, they last forever.

My wife attempts to get it all in one trip, then can't get the door open and gets pissed when I don't hear her needing help when her plan flops.

Sounds like life when I was stationed at Fort Campbell, or the days at the Pentagon and Fort Meade when going to the PX or Wal-Mart. I'd carry as many bags as I can in each hand, cutting circulation off to the fingers. Now since we live @ 70 miles one-way to the nearest Supermarket or Wal-Mart, we buy a one month supply in a single trip, usually filling the entire pickup truck bed. The days of running to the store for a gallon of milk are long gone.

Bingo.

Oh yeah. One trip. Even if I have to stand there for five minutes and figure out how to get it all done in one trip. If I wear both jackets, put the back pack on, all four hats on my head, carry the 35 pound bag of dog food and the dog on leash in one hand, all my other stuff in the other hand, but first I have to put the house key in my mouth because I won't have a free hand to retrieve it once I pick up all this other stuff, then I can shut the car door with my foot, and push the car's door lock/alarm button once I'm in the house and have a free hand... Yeah. Its a daily puzzle to solve.

That's the word I was going to post. This weekend I had a shop vac on one shoulder and two gallons of milk in my other hand kicking the door telling her to open it. I got yelled at for carrying "too many things." Meanwhile she will take six trips for six small plastic grocery bags, then go back get her purse then go back because she forgot her glasses, etc.
