Speaker 1 (00:00):
I just stumbled upon a list of the top ten arguments.
These are arguments in the car? Never heard that before?
A argument?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I don't think I've ever heard of put that way
a argument?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, have you ever had a argument?
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
So on this list, we've got backseat driving, getting lost,
temperature in the car, speeding, who's directions to follow, who's
choosing the music, whether they have the windows open, somebody's
making too much noise, where to stop, and keeping the
car from being messy.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Ooh geez.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Okay, so the number one on the list is your
top one backseat driving?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Oh yeah, what is the problem with that?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Because I'm driving just like you might as a passenger.
You're not seeing the same thing I am or whatever,
or you don't realize that I know I'm going to
put my brake on, or you don't realize that I'm
going to change a lane and you're saying watch out
or grabbing the dashboard something that makes me insane.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Really. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
The other one you're not big on is whose directions
to follow?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, so here's the deal. I am directionally challenged.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Everybody has GPS now, but there's multiple GPS and there's
multiple routes.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, so like someone will say to me, why aren't
you going the back route because I want to take
this one.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's to me it's easier.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I would rather than going back there than left then
right and tangling around, you.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Know, or whatever the case may be. I want to
go this way. If I'm driving, I'm going to go
this way. Don't tell me to go the other way.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
This is a list of the top arguments. Now, if
you have have had a road trip, this is an
interesting list. One of them that's near the back of
this list, number nine, where to stop. This one's always
interesting because everybody has a different motive for stopping. If
you're driving, typically it's gas and bathroom.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
For passengers it's typically food and bathroom.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Which food? Which has the yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Okay, yep, because that can turn it an argument. I've
been in cars where well let's stop here, Well I
want to go another ten miles or twenty miles, or
he was there well a lot of times too. You
can see on the signs or billboards when you're traveling, yeah,
what's on the way. Yeah, So that can lead to arguments.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah something, he's ready to eat? Now, wait time more minutes?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
All right?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Do you have a story about a argument, an argument
in the car. I'd love to hear it. This doesn't
even have to be recent. I mean, this could be
years ago. I want stories. Did you have a argument
you wanted to share?
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I am calling about the the driving all right, totally
have to agree. You're right in terms of the backseat driver,
the woman saying everything. Yeah, that's same.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So what's the issue. What's going on in your mind?
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Everything about the way he drives?
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Everything's wrong?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Now, how long have you been with your man?
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Seventeen years?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
So when you first.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Started dating him, did you pay attention to the way
he drove or not?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Did it bother you? Then?
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I pay attention to every detail everything. I mean I
watched cars pass when they were back a mile and
they're going past us. Now It's like, what are you doing?
They were way back there?
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Why are you?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Why are they in front of you? Why? It drives
me crazy. I hate to drive. I'm not a big driver,
but I am the worst backseat driver out there.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
So he drives too slow or too conservative for you?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yes, I have no patience whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
You're watching your side view mirror and watching cars pass
you and be like, get in front of them, don't
let them pass you. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
So after all these years, after all these years, that
that causes an argument in the car, do you.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Still feel like you gotta tell him?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yes, I love your honesty, man, She's honestary and she's right.
So that is the number one item on the list
that causes a argument. An argument in the car, backseat driving.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, it can make a nuts.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
I can take a little bit and then I'm like,
all right, right, hurty kind.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Of like that.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
If you've got a argument story, we'll share it with us.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Typically this is a couple and something spurns from that.
But I have a woman who says something isn't mentioned
on the list, okay, that she thinks is the cause
for a lot of the arguments.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Alrighty, ma'am, Hello.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
Hello, I have a comment to make about the arguments
in the car.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Please, not about.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
The wife and the husband. But I've taken the bajillion
road trips with my husband alone when the kids were older,
and a bajillion when the kids were younger, and I
say that most of us are the children arguing with
each other.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So the children start the arguing and then it become
internal chaos.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
In the vehicle exactly.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
That's what happened all the while the kids were growing up.
They would starts the arguments and then the parents are
yelling at the kids.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
That's how it starts, and then the car is aggravated.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Everybody is up set.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, that's a big component.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's kind of like our studio here and Lulu. You know,
when Lulu's here, it's like we've got kids in the rooms.
Sometimes it's because you're just aggravated about something and I'll
be like, well, just let it go, and She's like.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I gotta let it. It's got to work its way
out of my system.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
You know, I'm talking truth right now.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Me.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
She She'll be like, I just need to be upset
for a minute, and that'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
If you don't vent, then you just stay pent up.
I'd rather vent.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, Well, the kids venting in the car causes all
kinds of drama.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You're right, ma'am. That's not on the moment.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
The kids are allowed to do that. Just I made
that rule up.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Now, do you have a argument that occurred. This could
be long ago, or this could be recently. Share it
with us now, Lulu doesn't like the backseat driving. But ma'am,
the temperature in the music.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Is your issue. Is that right? So this is two
of the top six. Hey, I was calling about ours
in the car on the road trip.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Please, I just want to say that it's overco thing.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
It's too hot, it's too cold.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
And then everybody needs to get their hands.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Off my darm buttons on my radio, my navigation, my.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
AC Keep your hands off.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You're right about the heat.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Who was usually touched in the air conditioning controls and
the radio?
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Whoever is sitting in the passenger seat, it's hard.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
To get everybody comfortable.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
A lot of times it's my son, don't I don't care.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Don't touch my button.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Well, I thought the passenger was allowed control of the radio.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
No, No, the driver is.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I was told because a lot of times a guy's
driving that the woman gets to pick the radio.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
Well that's true too, But it doesn't matter if I'm
driving or I'm in the passenger.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
So no matter what you're doing, you're in charge of
the radio, yes, and the buttons.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
If I'm driving, I'm certainly in charge of all the buttons.
You're right, I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Don't sometimes people like the buttons touched.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Such a mean but apparently not you, ma'am. Okay, all right,
what do you think here? Do you have a argument
that you'd like to share with us? An argument in
the car?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Where to stop is something that I think always, even
when you're with a group of an adults, people can't
agree on where they want to stop. Sometimes, Oh yeah,
for food or bathrooms. Somebody has a bad experience and
a place in a bathroom they don't want to go
back there, like it's traumatic.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Definitely you would be one of those people.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Okay, So now directions and getting lost is one of
those things that's on the top of the list as well.
That's like number two, and that's where you wanted to
go on this one, sir, Good morning.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
I have a quick little story about driving and having
an argument with my wife. Okay, all right, So I'm
driving from New York to Florida with my wife. We
get into Washington, DC. We start to get traffic, so
I ended a map and I said, find us a
different way. So we after she's staring at the map
for about five next time, we're getting it too heavier
and heavier trapp and I look over and of course
I see on the map she has Seattle Washington out
(08:06):
instead of Washington.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I have to block that story up.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
Your poor almost exploded. I swear it was unreal.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
A was your wife's name, Lulu?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'd be honored, thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
There are some people like, hey, we're in Washington, can
you get me another route? And they literally put in
Washington State, not Washington DC.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
You know, no one's going to ask me for the
directions or to get the map out.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
That's not going to happen.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Here's the deal his wife either. Do you have a argument.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It's interesting what comes up on these lists, you know,
the backseat driving, the getting lost, speeding direction yea, yeah,
all that. The lists are pretty similar here, whether it's
just this one I saw online and then the report
from Triple A and you wanted to agree?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Ma'am? Hey, argument to my car on a road trip.
The first thing that starts out is you should have
went that way?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
And the bad thing of it is I on the
one that always drives on the road trip.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Okay, so you're driving, So your husband is saying why
you're going this way?
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Yeah, he's telling me that this way and that way,
and I finally look at it and say, would you
rather get out and walk?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
No, let me ask you this. Are you guys having
a meeting about what route you're gonna take prior to
getting in the vehicle.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (09:40):
I drive my way and my way only.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
What if your way isn't the shortest way?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
My way is the shortest way. I spend a week
determining which way I'm going, and.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
You see, keep us time and effort into this.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
So she doesn't want to hear about it.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I don't know. I'm gonna side with your husband.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I think even though you're putting the time in, it
may not be the shortest way.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You live aside with you.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
His thing is is not the shortest way. He says,
it's the faster way with the less traffic.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Well, he's right, that's my point.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I drive for a living.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
That's part of my job.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I leave her alone.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
You have to understand, though, that traffic slowing you down
does take away from your arrival.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Time, and so the stoplights. But he doesn't take that
in consideration.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, but the stoplights are minimal.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I mean your stoplight, each stoplight maybe is a minute.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Actually, each stoplight is about two minutes.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
That's soon. Are we arguing about the lights of a stoplight?
We're in a car on a road trip.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
And then the argument turned in when he knows he's
not gonna win, the argument about which way I'm going,
Then it turns into how I packed the car.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Of course, Well, I'll say this, I remember my Mohammed
dad having those arguments because it invitably the first thing
we would need was on the bottom.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
You're shaking your head like you know that's true.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Well, whatever I throw my dad nuts, I can imagine.
I can imagine.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
If you got a thought on the arguments.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
This could also be regular driving as well. And ma'am,
you wanted to share something that kind of flared up
between you and your man, Is that right?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Hello?
Speaker 5 (11:34):
My boyfriend has actually sits along bed and she was
so long she's.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Turn and then he missed the turn, and I said,
why didn't you turn back there?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Why didn't you get in the So do you usually
criticize his driving?
Speaker 6 (11:51):
No, not all the time.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
But what I would do is get in the turn like.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Quicker, and then you wouldn't miss the nurse.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, ma'am, thank you for the call. Those are the
kind that turn into arguments.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's it exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Why didn't you get in the turnol aid sooner?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Somebody just sayesn't always hear that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
There's nothing worse than realizing somebody's right. But then you
defend yourself because you don't want to be wrong, And
that's how you got to leave it alone.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Just don't spite your tongue.
