In general- 'A Few Hours' is three, never more than four hours.

Additional Input

I think this answer depends on who says it and what is going on in the time they are gone.

* In dollars and sense a few is three, no more than three and a half. In a jar of marbles, a few is how many fit in your hand when you reach in and grab "a few."

* So, if your roommate says they are going for a walk, with their repeatedly broken off - not going to get back together, ex - boy/girl - friend and tells you; "I'll see you in a few." If 20 minutes goes by and they are not back, it is time to call and see if they are OK.

If your room mate is out with a new boy/girl friend and they are hanging out at a sports bar, watching a game and having some munchies. They may be gone four or five hours - without breaking the few hour rule.

If you are in a relationship with someone who repeatedly says "Oh, we'll be 'back in a few' and leaves you hanging for five or six hours. Or if you are involved with someone and at the end of the month when you always have to put in a few extra hours and every 20 minutes the phone rings and you know it will be this person, so you end up needing twice as much time as usual. A few can start to seem like an eternity.

* In black and white a few is three - four is really pushing it, but can you see where the exceptions come in? If you are with someone who can't do "a few" always set a specific time. It's not worth tossing a relationship over a few minutes unless the person is intentionally using semantics, to push your buttons.
