Driving Isn’t Easy When Your Partner’s in the Car
We’re about ready for marriage counseling!
Now that we are both retired, we’ve got lots of time on our hands. Sometimes we decide to run our errands together, but when we do, we are often ready to tear each other apart.
This didn’t happen when we were both working, as we had separate cars. We could manage our time accordingly. I would run my errands and she would run hers. Occasionally we would take turns driving. But when we did that, it wasn’t pretty.
It’s hard to drive when your partner’s in the car. You both bring different problem-solving skills into the vehicle with you, and that’s when your marriage vows are tested.
And we are both guilty of bad behavior.
Here are some of the choice phrases we have exchanged with one another.
Yep, that was a pothole.
I didn’t see a stop sign.
You know, you’re going 85…
Why don’t you turn here? It’s much faster.
I know where I’m going!
Why is the GPS taking me down a one-way road?
There’s a closer parking spot up there…
