DH...Hoist with his own petard, ha ha!!

DH would have said 'You could get a double-decker bus in there'.

I was trying to get my small car into an awkward space in a local car park; the woman opposite moved her Sherman tank out of a lovely wide space and I zipped forward into it. Relief.
I had not noticed another woman waiting to park another huge tank; she wound down her window as I walked past her and started shouting at me 'I was going to go into that space!' I smiled sweetly and pointed out the awkward space I had not been able to get into and said 'there's a space, but it is a little bit awkward, however I'm sure you're a better driver than me'.

Luckily another young woman drove her huge tank out of a large space just then so she went in there.

DH is the same and endless running commentary on the incompetence of other drivers, shoppers, parents, children, David Cameron, CEOs of charities on and bloody on. yesterday I elected him the president of the British Olympic Grumping Team (BOGT) for his performance on the golf course and it was almost empty.

merlot. Roll his window down and let the moron hear what he has to say

Actually, soontobe he was having a go at the other driver. He knows better than to criticise my parking but being the impatient old sod man that he is, he didn't think about getting out before I made a dash for the space. Probably wise because I'd have more than likely left him hanging out the door!

And I often point out to him, 'Why are you shouting at that moron silly driver when they can't hear you and I'm being deafened?'

All part of life's rich pattern.

You could point out to him that clearly he is not very good at working out car widths, the next time he has a go at you again in this way!

Brilliant merlotgran! DH is a driving instructor so learnt years ago NEVER to drive him after every trip was accompanied by a non-stop commentary on everything I was doing 'we don't drive like that. Never had an accident in nearly 40yrs of driving (hope that's not tempting fate!!)

DH says DD has inherited her impatience with other drivers. He doesn't drive, so I wonder what he's implying

merlot, that was so funny!

Only under extreme circumstances do I drive with DH in my car!

His shouts are.....you could get a bus through there, you could get a double decker in there, if you can't park that, you shouldn't have a license.

If I see someone about to leave a car park, I will wait a minute to take the space. DH? drive round and round and round until there is a space..he doesn't 'do' waiting!

Then comes the joy of shopping together. Arrrgh!
