dh. New job. Different hours. Further to drive. His car drinks more fuel than mine.

I predicted that he'd want to take my car not his. Financial logic agrees.

But I am actually pissed off.

It is my car. Mine. I bought it. I paid for ut. Mine.

And now it is my day off. All I need to do is tske DD and pick her up from her friday thing. I hate driving his car.

Be gentle. I have an evil cold and have yanked my back coughing. And i hurt.

Why are people so caught up by the fact the OP's have two cars? They need two because of their personal circumstances. However, even if they didn't actually need two it's still their decision to make as to how many cars they own.

If they can afford them it's nobody else's business how many they have.

'Cos they are well jel...

I hate driving OHs car too, it's big and dirty and smells. We've actually got 4 cars between the two of us at the moment and I'm pissed off that he's let a customer borrow one of my cars even though I'm not driving it at the moment. (Just thought I'd help you out OP as i think yanbu and as a disgusting greedy owner of four cars, they will all want to chuck rocks at me now instead)

Bogeyface · 22/03/2013 18:12

"I dont have a car therefore no one else should. YABU because I a petty minded jealous person who hates the thought that someone else has something I dont"

Grow up.
YANBU OP,

lottiegarbanzo · 22/03/2013 18:26

My irrelevantly practical suggestion is your DH trades in his car for something more efficient and, once a year when you need to, you hire a lovely big, nearly new, far better than you'd want to buy car. I love hire cars.

Mood has slipped a notch or 7 further.

I am now excessively grumpy. The dog keeps barking. The cat has missed the litter tray and shit on the floor. It is so cold my feet have fallen off and i can't even drink gin as i have to collect a teenager from a party later. In my car. Because there is no fucking public transport in this shithole.

Well at least you haven't let it affect your mood Teggie

I truly admire your stoicism in times of stress.

NoelHeadbands · 22/03/2013 19:00

See this glass OP?

Would you describe it as half full or half empty do you think...?

Maat · 22/03/2013 19:00

You need a pink car with eyelashes and a "powered by fairydust" sign.

FeijoaVodkaAndCheezels · 22/03/2013 19:01

If you are so ill why on earth would you want to go and snuggle a baby?

DIYapprentice · 22/03/2013 19:02

I vote for gin and sending a taxi for the teenager!!

Trumpton · 22/03/2013 19:07

@ ^^

I had to drive DHs car today as he drove my granny car to the garage. He has had it 3 years and its the first time I have driven it as I don't like it . Too big and too expensive . I would rather drive my well dinged 10 year old wagon.

Stoic to the bitter end.

Trumpton · 22/03/2013 19:08

[grin]@apostropheuse .!!

eminemmerdale · 22/03/2013 19:08

oooh, we used to have three cars, and only two of us drivers and all

TeggieCampbeggBlegg · 22/03/2013 19:11

Taxi???? HA!!! Not unless you book 3 years in Advance.

My snot is no longer at the contageous stage. Just the lingering annoying stage. I wouldn't snuggle said baby if it was the catching stage.

TeggieCampbeggBlegg · 22/03/2013 19:12

I'm going to paint it pink. (the car not the baby). That is a genius idea.

Trumpton · 22/03/2013 19:13

Well we have 3 cars but I didn't like to brag . ( car number 3 is classic car and only comes out on high days and holidays > )

And I don't drive that one either as its too much like hard work !

ssd · 22/03/2013 19:21

ssd · 22/03/2013 19:22

TeggieCampbeggBlegg · 22/03/2013 19:24

I am also bitter and jealous of thin people, rich people, organised people, artists, musicians, cats and kelly brook.

ssd · 22/03/2013 19:25

Hmm what happened to the angry mob? Would it help if I said that one of our four cars between two drivers is a very thirsty sports car (mine) and that another is a 4x4 (his)? SURELY that's worthy of a bit if self righteous indignation and judgyness?
