My Mrs has reversed into the house...

[don4l]

... for the second time!


It isn't her fault, of course. It happened because her shoe slipped. It was her shoe's fault!

Apparently, the only reason that I have never reversed into the house is because I wear different shoes.

This is obviously your fault because you didn't ensure she had the correct footwear to safely operate her motor vehicle.

Buy your wife proper driving shoes.

[JREwing]

She has a point, in fairness. It's the same reason that my ex made me park the car every time we went anywhere - even when I'd been drinking.

"I can't use a clutch smoothly because I'm used to wearing golf shoes and trainers just aren't the same!"

Bingo.

Is there some training school women go to so that everything is our fault?

[FreeLitres]

Sounds like she might need some parking sensors.

Or you might need a house made from Marshmallow.

Or let her borrow your shoes for driving.

Lots of options really.

[Heathwood]

Simple solution. Trade in the wife.

[CraigMST]

She's a woman, it comes naturally.
My fiancee nearly parked my car into next doors living room one evening

Move the house.

My wife had a Smart car - her first car.
Used to park it on the drive at our last house, in front of the bay window.
Then we were expecting twins, so we got a Yaris.
First drive home, up the drive, bang, straight into the wall of the bay window.
No damage other than scuffed paint, but one hell of a bang.
"Well, that didn't happen in the old car?".
Beware Yaris's with their deceptively long bonnets - they can be very tricky to park.
Bless

Or put anti-tank posts in front of it for her to drive into?

[Ozzie Osmond]

Very common.

Almost as common as reversing one of your one cars into the other one on the drive....

[Jessicus]

You are absolutely correct to be worried about this poor little abused car.

After all, this little car is much more important than the millions of people who will die of starvation in Africa this year.

This cute little car is really, really important. Well worth posting about - not.

(For context, see OP's posting history on animal cruelty)

[nottyash]

Take her shoe, and beat her with it.
Its the only way they learn.

Can't argue with her logic, have you tried it in her shoes?!

[Silverbullet767]

OP's wife's shoes earlier....

[rocketdogbert]

Crap.

I just watched an episode of MythBusters all about driving in stupid shoes.

Myth Busted, makes no measurable difference. Anyone, ANYONE, who can't drive in stupid shoes just plainly can't drive

My wife has spent most of the last seven years since she passed her test working at an office with hellish parking. As a result, she's brilliant at it.

Unfortunately, I have rather big feet - and she has small feet.

I wear size 11 and she wears size 4. Do you think that I would drive into the house if I had smaller feet?
