12761649, You ever be driving with a person that can NOT give directions?

And smartphones have made that sh*t worse, cause they be in their phone when they sposed to be telling you where to go. That’s why when I have the address, I just prefer to drop it into waze.

But yeah you’re driving in the right lane, and instead of saying, “make a left at the light” or “such and such street” they says some shit like “get over in the left lane”. You get over thinking a split in the road or a turn is coming up. Come to find out, your turn is like 3 miles ahead. Either that or they let you get all the way in the intersection and be like “turn here”.

I had a frat brother that had that bad. Get in the car, sposed to be telling the driver how to get somewhere, instead this mothaf*cka is up there pouring his beer in a cup. Negro you gon be the navigator or the bartended. Make up your mind.

“Make a right at the light”….*makes right*……”oh sh*t not this light, I meant the next light…..back up.” No, negro, SHUT up.

My pops, I love him dearly, but when I’m tryna turn left onto a busy street (meaning I have ot check the traffic coming fro the right) while he’s in the passenger seat, how does he manage to get his head in every spot I’m tryna look at to block my view? I move my head forward, he moves HIS head forward “Ok, you got it”. I move my head back to see, he moves HIS head back “ok you got it!” Dad, sit back lol

Honorable mention I’ve known about 6 people in my life, that while I’m driving, will reach over and blow my horn at someone. That’s when I stop the car, put it in park, and hit them with the https://coopcatalyst.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/jan-brewer-finger-obama.jpg

matters worse, she doesnt know her right from her left. Driving wit her is a chore, I get frustrated and just tell her to put her "L hand" up

Fuck your fort!

she tells me i should have turned there after we pass the intersection...

instead of saying, "make the next left", she would say "go there" and point by waving her finger back and forth.

we're driving, and get to an intersection. I ask "Do I turn left or right here?"

She shrugs and says "it doesn't really matter. either way is fine."

There have been other times where she's said one direction, and then been like "oh, I meant to say left!"

Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Wed Mar-25-15 08:44 AM
She is a new yorker who doesn't drive so she doesn't realize that it is the JOB of the person who is not driving to be helpful to the driver on long trips. That main job is navigating. get the directions. Don't give me the next 15 direction steps unless I ask but DO tell me when turns are coming up.

Drives me crazy.

I'm terrible. Easily distracted. Can follow directions with the best of them, while myself being distracted. I just assume everyone else is all set like I am. Oh well.

I still remember driving to a fork in the road a few years ago and asking her which way to go (I even said "left or right") and she says "straight."

She also says "that way" and "there" a lot which would be fine if I enjoyed taking my eyes off the road in traffic to see which way she's indicating with her eyes.

Or just some kind of ambiguous pointing motion that you have to decipher in a split second.

A-yo, that's amazing. (c) Raekwon's first words from his verse on Triumph.

How did that situation resolve itself? I'm hoping there weren't cars behind you.
12762850, i do this
Posted by lfresh, Wed Mar-25-15 04:00 PM
for long drives and i know i can't focus for like 6 hours

i tell them my hand knows what i'm talking about if my mouth confuses you regarding right or left

pay more attention to the hand gesture if it comes down to a decision on deciding what i meant and bear with me

discalculia is a bitch i tell you

The worst is when she points left but says take a right!

when it comes to her Lefts and Rights. I always tell her one day she's gonna get us killed because I'm always having to swerve and correct last minute from her horrible directions.

12762829, My wife is horrible with directions
Posted by RobOne4, Wed Mar-25-15 03:45 PM
like even when I already put directions from our address to our destination address. I have her hold the phone. She will mute the directions and have me missing turns or turning early. I always yell TURN ON THE DAMN SOUND! She is also a horrible back seat driver, Any drive longer than 30 minutes and I want to punch her in the mouth.
12762845, i'm decent at it
Posted by lfresh, Wed Mar-25-15 03:58 PM
but i will confuse my right and my left when i'm not focused
but i warn the driver it might happen
also i'm a walker and if i'm giving direction from a walking perspective i try to warn that while i usually make this turn they may not be able to

Posted by gumz, Wed Mar-25-15 09:21 PM
it's so easy to give someone a heads up "ok, there's a left turn coming up at the next light..."

the worst are people who tell you shit at the last second so then you're constantly on edge cause you know at any second they'll just bust out with "TURN NOW!"

thank goodness for gps
