I used to hang out with a group of friends and we would go
places together. We would go out to eat all the time and even went on vacation
once. It was a lot of fun most of the time, however one of my friends was a
horrible back seat driver. He always would say he knew the best way to get
somewhere. I sometimes wondered if he was listening to a police scanner or if
he was tapped in to the traffic report around town. This was before apps and
most smart phones. Sometimes he was right, but other times we would end up in
construction or stuck in traffic. He really thought he was always right. It was
pretty annoying to go places when he would start driving from the backseat.
Sometimes we would have him drive because it was just plain easier. It was his
fault if the traffic was heavy since he picked the route. He wasn’t really that
bad, and he was a great guy so we put up with it. If he wasn’t driving he was
in charge of the directions. However that wasn’t a perfect plan either, as we
got lost a few times. Honestly it was fun though. I miss hanging out with them
and even hearing the backseat driver chime in with his opinions about the best
way there. I remember being excited once when I knew there was only one way to
get somewhere.
Through this experience I learned ways to deal with backseatdrivers and I can’t wait for you to check out my post.
