Where 1 in 5 women gets really annoyed

Honestly, I have the nicest man imaginable. The best lid for my pot in every way. One of the thousand pluses is that he always drives. The whole way. Without complaining or dozing off. On a long trip, he even pours me a glass of wine. I call that going out while driving. A bit of music playing, looking around, a chat, a sip, daydreaming. Happiness.

His need to drive is a good thing, because when he sits next to me in the passenger seat, a completely different dynamic suddenly arises. For example, yesterday. I had to pick him up (long story, hassle, but it was nice of me to come fifteen kilometers with my foot on the gas pedal to him). He gets in. On the phone. I end my conversation because that was on the car kit and it blares through him. Moreover, he called ‘for work’ and I privately. So far so good. I decided to turn around neatly in the parking lot that was forty meters away. But that wasn't fast enough for him. During his conversation, he gave me a brief glance and made a little twirling motion with his finger. Something about making a U-turn and doing it immediately, I think.

My remedy in situations like this? Just stick to my own plan, drive gently (I always drive way too slowly according to him) and when he asks how I am, just make that little twirling finger motion.

A bit of snooping in studies shows that 70 percent of people are annoyed by their partner's driving behavior.

From another study, it turned out that 21 percent of people prefer to drive without their partner. Let me put it this way: I don't belong to that group. But I do prefer to sit on the right side rather than the left. With coffee and a newspaper in hand. Like this.
