To tell another adult that its bad manners?

[bluepompoms]

I am worried about this as don’t want kids to pick up on it.

DH is into cars, and knows a lot about them.

When we are out driving or if the TV is on and he sees a classic one or one like his or just one he likes he calls out. ‘Porsche!’ ‘Look, a Ferrari!’

Problem is he totally cuts across what you’re saying to do this. Even if it’s something important.

I’ve always hated it as you feel like a massive twat then pausing and resuming what you were saying, but AIBU to tell him it’s really bad manners? Worried about little DCs picking up on it and thinking it’s OK.

I have a 21-month old grandchild who yells 'bus', 'lorry', 'nee-naw', every time he sees one.

But I expect him to grow out of it in the next year or so.

Once we sorted this out could some explain "Bayern Munich" to me?

..the pronunciation of 'Porsche', that is.

I think I do the same when I see a sausage dog

I think I can here you shouting.. Rex my granddog...

do they still publish i-spy books for children?

YES - they do
advertised as for five year olds, but keep "i-spy every vehicle on the road" handy, give it to him next time it happens, and ask him to play quietly and not interrupt.

My husband is an interrupted. I usually just stop talking and wait for him to ask me to continue. It's totally passive aggressive and hasn't stopped the interrupting but I hope it makes him realise what he's done

Hahahaha.. Hope he made you smile...

Is he pointing out a stationary ferrari while you're all on a walk, or is it when you're all driving? And are your children interested in seeing the cars? If they are then I think YABU. If you're on a car ride and there is something of interest that will only be in view for a few seconds then it mskes sense to cut across conversation. If I saw a herd of deer or something, I would interrupt and point it out straightaway, I wouldn't wsit patiently for s break in the conversation and then say "Guess what kids, there was a massive herd of deer back there but none of you saw it because I was waiting for Daddy to finish telling you all what's for lunch!" So, it depends if the DCs interested in the cars or not

He blurts it out if one is on TV not just a walk or car ride. OP has already said nobody else is interested. And he even does it in the middle of important / serious conversations.
