MAKE UP YOUR MIND, WILL YOU?

Let it up slowwwwly, right. FINALLY, you managed to do it right!


- C'mon shift gears! How much petrol do you think you're wasting?
-Why on earth do you want to shift to 2nd and 3rd? You think you're going to train for F1?


-DON"T try to avoid potholes. Get into them, big or small, never mind if you jerk around a little.
-Don't you have eyes in your head? Couldn't you see that HUGE pothole?



-Swerve! What do you think the steering wheel is for?
-Don't swerve like that! You think you're riding a two -wheeler?



-Come left! You'll get stuck behind that lorry. Come LEFT!! Never mind that there is a vehicle, put your indicator on, he will move accordingly
-Why did you come left/right? Can't you see that vehicle coming behind you? You have to make allowances for EVERYBODY, you're the one who'll have to pay for the repairs, not them!



-Don't overtake! What is the tearing hurry?
-Overtake him, can't you? Don't we have to get home, ever?


-Go faster.
-Don't go fast!


-Go slow. SLOW! You have a problem following instructions?
-Why aren't you moving?!


-Keep the window open. You're not an expert!
-Keep the windows closed. Learn to look at your rear view mirror!
-Didn't you see him?! You have to look out of the window too, the rear view mirror won't show everything!!


-You can drive later, its raining/we have to park, you can't take it out yourself.
-Why do you want me along? Take it out yourself, can't you? You anyway don't bother to listen!


So, am I being unreasonable when I say I wish the guy would MAKE UP HIS MIND about what I'm supposed to do? And he thinks I have a problem following instructions! This is no driving instructor, but the dearly beloved.
And these are just a few of the driving-up-the-wall comments/instructions I can remember. There's loads more, but the human mind is conditioned to forget distressing moments, isn't it?

After all, I don't want to end up divorcing the guy, do I? Grrrrr!
