Worst....passenger....ever.....

I have completely worn out the floor mat pressing the imaginary brake in my wife's car. And she gets light headed from all the gasping she does when I'm driving. It all works out.

Maybe you'd be better off without a wife/kids and never travelling with anyone?
When I saw the title of the thread, I thought it was going to be about random airline passengers that are super annoying.
Your wife can't be all bad, you married her, slept with her enough to have children and she hasn't dumped you yet. Maybe she has some other positive qualities you are overlooking?

I said she was a bad passenger, not a bad wife, big difference. She's got a big "chicken little" streak which contributes to much of the annoying passenger behavior but I'm pretty lucky. She likes beer but she's kinda pissed she can't drink being pregnant and I've started back brewing lately.

The return trip was much better, only 2 hrs longer than GPS said it would take so that's progress. We'll see how this weekend goes.

Dear lord, after 10 years of being single and viewing the GPS time (or Google Maps time) as something to be beaten by at least 10%, maybe I should rethink this whole "letting friends set me up" thing.

2 steps forward 5 steps back.

She got home from work at 6:00. It's now 7:34 and we still haven't left. We are only going to be gone until
Sunday evening. She's in Taco Bell getting "road food" because tacos are REALLY easy to eat while I'm driving.

I wouldn't even have pulled into the parking lot of a Taco Bell on a road trip.

I usually say "yes dear" to most things my wife wants, but I have limits! ;-)

My Mom used to stomp her foot and brace her hand on the ceiling for all four of us at the slightest perceived threat while riding shotgun. We teased her mercilessly at holiday dinners for years about it. We laughed a lot, she a little less.
