To think we did nothing wrong?

[sadaboutlife]

I went away for the weekend with a guy I'm seeing and a friend and her boyfriend.
My friend was driving and me and the guy I'm seeing in the back.
It's a pretty new thing and we were chatting all the way home in the car.
She kept say ..can you both shut up talking your doing my head in.
We kept quite for a bit and then sometimes forgot and spoke again.
She was really annoyed
Did we really do anything wrong here?
She is actually angry that we didn't sit in silence

I'm not a new, or unconfident driver - but I usually drive alone in the car. so when I do have passengers, loud chat can be really distracting and/or irritating.
If I ask passengers to be quieter, I do start with or explain that I find it hard to concentrate with chatter going on - even if it's just a "can you be quiet, this roundabout is confusing" or whatever.

I have some sensory processing issues that I manage well when I’m not tired, or have had a quiet day but if I’m tired or run down make noise difficult to cope with. I’m a safe driver and drive my friends and family from time to time. If it’s been a hard day I will respectfully ask them to be quiet, or not to chat around difficult parts of the drive. This is to allow me to concentrate. Different things impact different people in different ways, being able to recognise or manage how you are reacting to things is common adult sense. Your friend explained what she needed to feel comfortable driving, you should have respected that.
