My wife is the worst road trip passenger ever... I drive 35,000 ish miles a year for work so my truck is kinda like my second home. The truck is new, no need to slam the door to get it closed but she manages to do this every time I'm getting my son out of his car seat so get a nice pop in my ear drum.
Radio volume is apparently the devil, anything over 4 (the volume goes up to 50) is met with a "turn it down, it's too loud!". 4 is just loud enough to hear the song but sometimes struggle to decipher the lyrics.
The worst part is her imaginary brakes. I don't follow too close when I drive by myself but I intentionally stay further back when she's in the car to no avail. If the car 10 lengths in front of me touches the breaks she's pressing hard on those imaginary brakes and grabbing the door handle in a death grip. Many times this is accompanied by an "oh God" or some other dramatic phrase indicating how terrified she is.
If a trip is scheduled to take 6 hrs of drive time I plan on 10. Add an hour (or more many times) because there's no way we're leaving at the planned time. Add 1 to 1.5 hours to stop for dinner (yes you read correctly, stop for dinner) and then add a potty break every hour. This time around it's even worse as she's pregnant with twins so we stop even more frequently.
Well at least we only have 2 more trips until the doc shuts her travel down. Can't wait to travel with her and the twins............
