Obsession With Packing

What is this obsession that people have (mainly old people and mothers) with packing for a vacation or trip? Example: “did you start packing yet” (for a trip that your going to go on in months from now) usually old people and moms ask this question. Why they obsess over this and discuss this is a mystery to me. Perhaps it gives them something to talk about. But if you actually think about it, discussing about packing is utter nonsense and stupid. All packing is, is the act of placing clothing from your closet to your suitcase which should take no longer than 10 minutes, not 3 months the way old people and moms make it out to be. I understand that women need more time to pack then men. They have their makeup and creams and other beauty supplies. But for a man it should take no longer than 10 minutes. Underwear, pants, and a shirt, that’s all we need folks. It’s not something to make a big deal about. It’s not rocket science.
