What is it that a passenger does that can wind you up?

My girlfriend slams the door so hard every time she gets out of the car, she also seems to have an amazing knack of hitting my car with her bag at the same time.

Fidgeting.

Heater controls, stereo, etc...

Or, 'what does this do' questions when looking at the hands free control for the parrot.

Pointing at something, that is to the right of the car, putting their hand right in front of my face.

Last but by no means least, when I am looking left and right when emerging from a junction, they are leaning forward and doing the same thing!! HA! I look left and there they are staring straight back at me!!! Completely blocking my view of the road!!

If I'm manouvering in slow traffic, changing lanes or barging in the wife always audibly gasps as she thinks I'm going to hit someone, I can see the o/s/f corner better than her and so far in the 21 years we have been together I've never had a low speed crash, scrape or accident.

She buggers about with the stereo, changes channels or volume, "hold in I'm driving, I want the radio station I want and I want the volume at the level that I want!"

Closing the heater vents, leaving the sun visor down when they get out of the car, and yes - leaning forward when I'm looking to turn left. Grrrr!

My Dad drums he's fingers on the centre console when he's a passenger in my car! It annoys the hell out of me! Lol. My Mum has also been known to lean forward and wipe the condensation from the windscreen before the car heats up! That really boils my pi55! Leaves big streaky marks!! Lol.

Kids, well the girls actually

Ever since they were old enough to sit in the front, they get in and immediately they're playing with the radio, adjusting the temp, rearranging the vents etc

Bugs the crap out of me!

My OH used to lean forward all the time but I now always have a three year old as a front seat passenger as it's the one thing which has stopped her car-sickness. So now my passenger picks her nose openly!

People messing about with my radio. I'm driving, my rules.
People who mess about with the A/C. Again, I'm driving, my rules.
People who help themselves to my sweets. Mainly my mum and sisters.
Slamming the doors.
People sneezing and not using their hands, leaving god knows what over my dashboard. Use your fking hands!

When we stop, they try to get out like its a getaway car before I've even got the handbrake on!

Fine, but in the Saab, the doors won't open until the key is removed, so by the time you remove it, they're hammering on the handles, and inevitably cause havoc when one door is half handled, and the doors unlock smile

My girlfreind has got into the habit recently of bracing for impact whenever a car in front does something slightly out of the ordinary. It's normally something I notice but not think twice about, but then st myself because I think I've missed something whilst shes holding on for dear life for no reason. It's a little bit annoying to say the least!

Flipping the passenger seat back up into the locked position before sliding it all the way back. Then it won't move back until they sit in it and use the lever. Then they find the seat is too close to the dash and they moan and say it's a st car despite me telling them many, many times to slide before flipping.

Sliiiiiide then flip.

Tell me what to do, my father in law is horrendous for this.

I go to park up somewhere and he pipes up "that space over there is bigger and in the shade!"

Reluctantly I move the car only for him to say "it's tight this space watch your angles!"

WTF

Then he goes on to say "what I always say to do is........"
