To think DH is being a bit extreme

[Minus273]

to say that this makes me the worst and most dangerous driver and to suggest I give up my licence.

We had a day out today which involved me driving round a large multiple lane roundabout. The direction signs were vague and lane markings very worn. I made a mistake (and freely admit that) and got in the wrong lane. To. correct my mistake meant a minor change of route.

I know I made an error of navigation but I didn't hit anyone, cause anyone to take evasive action break any traffic laws or hold up a third party.

I told DH he was overreacting so now he is not talking to me and is refusing to go out for his birthday dinner and DD is crying because she wanted to treat him and is not happy at the idea of my change of plan dinner.

How comes you're still married to such a childish idiot and how comes he's still alive or at the very least not recovering in hospital from his head injuries from the large frying pan you whacked him with?

can't be doing with sulkers. leave him to stew in his own juice and cut off his nose to spite his face and go out with your daughter anyway.
After all, you won't want her growing up thinking that sulky men need pandering to do you?

I told dh about this thread last night, and he suggested a variation on HerScaryness's second option - get out of the car, lock it, and get a taxi home, leaving the twunt looking like this [hschock] in the car.

On a serious note, as an experienced driver myself, I know that it is better to take a wrong turning, and then work out how to get yourself back onto the correct route, than to try to correct the mistake by making more serious driving mistakes - like reversing back up a slip road, as dh's aunt did once, or trying to swerve into the right lane on the roundabout, cutting up other drivers and maybe causing an accident. You did the right thing, and the safe and sensible thing.

SDTG LOVE your H's idea!

yeah and if the car is anything like mine, locking it enables the alarm.

If he MOVES it'll go off!

Even better!!

but how long was the detour

2 hours and he might have a point op

am still laffing at the cohabiting/loneliness/murder.

lol herscareyness!

DH and I were once driving in separate cars to the same destination

Much "hilarity" was had about how it would take me twice as long to get there (arfity-arf arf etc)

How strange then that I got there 60 mins before him because he missed the junction off the motorway and had to get off at the wrong one

I was sitting waiting with a cup of tea and a hob nob when he arrived

happy days

The detour was about 3min, 4 max.

Unlike last time I let him navigate.

Me: second exit at this RAB isn't it
Him: no definitely 3rd
Me: are you sure?
Him: Yes, I have the map.
Me 20min later why am I seeing signs for A&E we're not supposed to be going anywhere near the hospital.
Him: Em I think you should have taken the second exit at that RAB.

He has this morning admitted it.

admitted what ?

he is a twat ?

Have you shown him this thread yet? Or at least given him the edited highlights?

Admitted he can't navigate either

I did exactly that twice during my last driving test. And I still passed. [hsmile]
