What is it with these morons?

The other day I wished I had an ejector seat.

Friend: "Watch it you're gonna hit the kerb."
(kerb was 6 feet away at this point)
Me: "Mate, I'm not blind I could swing a Transit in this space."
Friend: "Asim, have you been drinking?"

ARRRGGHHH :mad:

I manage to drive BETTER when you're not in my ****ing car so please shut it.
 
My OH is like that, spot a cyclist and get ready to go round them, OH then announces that there is a cyclist as I'm just about to move out to pass. The joke of it is she hates backseat drivers when she's driving.
 
I once thought, whilst a passenger in the back seat of car, 'oh lawd, he's gonna hit the kerb'. He did. On a roundabout. With his rear wheel. I still don't really understand how.
 
My GF will spot something and go "wooooah". Most of the time I've spotted it already so her outburst makes me think there's something else going on I've missed.

She also hates me being a passenger, but considering the amount of times she's pranged or kerbed her car I think my comments are fully justified. She has no concept of the width of her car, or any understanding that when turning tightly the rear end follows a tighter arch than the front.

my mum always brakes for me, good job it aint a french car with a brake pedal on the passenger side.
 
I get annoyed by back seat drivers as much as anyone, but I'm also aware that on the rare occasion where I'm not the driver, I'm not averse to handing out unsolicited advice from the comfort of the passenger seat. :p

My GF is EXACTLY the same. And also, like most girls, she has no concept of mechanical sympathy. She once drove up a granite kerb, scratching the rim and taking a nick out of a brand new tyre 'because there was a car coming the other way'. Slowing down and waiting obviously wasn't an option :/
 
Depends on who's driving, some people I know their driving style so i don't pay any attention to what they are doing at all.. One friend however is so erattic I won't even get in the car with him if I can help it!
Strangely though when he is my passenger he is terrible, even to the point of giving me directions to places the he knows I've been to a thousand times before... I incredibly annoying!
 
My girlfriends the worst passenger ever, no matter where she sits. Approaching traffic, if I'm going more than 5mph she'll sit up and cling on as if we're heading for certain death

Always shouts "Brake!" or "Watch out for the car!" In the most ridiculous situations, makes me rage

My mum does that as well and usually a good few seconds before I need to brake, I don't particularly mind though, it's just a habit for her. Apart from that there aren't all that many people who I've given lifts to who criticise my driving although I've made a few nervous when driving through gaps - I'd note perfectly safely but it's perhaps more difficult to judge the cars width when you're not driving.

Roid rage?
 
Just tell them to stfu and then turn up the radio so you can't hear them.
Or even better go rallying around some country lanes and scare them ****less so they will never want to be a passenger with you again.:D
