I can't figure out which
situation is worse. Is it sitting in the passenger seat while Mark drives,
listening to his non-stop haranguing of all the other drivers, putting up with
his screams of panic when some texting moron slowly changes lanes in front of
him, simply dealing with his horrible driving in general, or is it worse when I
decide to drive. Mind you, I can't see very well, but sometimes Mark just makes
me so crazy that I grab the keys and take over. Unfortunately Mark can make me
just as crazy if I drive. He sits over there constantly making sounds as if he were
riding a roller coaster. He screams with his high pitched voice, letting me
know that somebody is changing lanes half a block ahead. His condescending
attitude towards my driving, as if I had never driven before, gets on my last
nerve.
I don't know how we ever make
it to where we're going. Yesterday we went to Costco, a drive of about ten
miles. On the way over there I mentioned that most black men were excellent
drivers because they know that if they make one mistake some snot nosed cop
might pull them over. This caused Mark to smile.
"Thank you. I told you I
was an excellent driver."
I corrected him.
"Mark, you are not a black
man when you are driving. When you drive, you are an eighteen year old Jewish
girl in daddy's car, fiddling with your iPhone, while listening to crappy music
on the radio."
"Maybe, but at least I'm
an eighteen year old Jewish girl with good eyesight that can multitask... Mr. Magoo."
