My Moms 5 Annoying Driving Habits

Ever since I got married I haven’t had much time to spend with my mom, so when she asked me to have lunch with her the other day I jumped at the opportunity of spending some quality time with dear ol’ mom. She said she would pick me up since she was in the neighborhood, and I thought to myself “Wow my mom seems more confident in her driving because she’s actually coming to pick me up, rather than the other way around!”. Boy was I wrong.

I realized my mom has some of the most annoying driving habits around and I’ve decided to share them with you (just please don’t share them with her). Here’s the top 5.

#5 It’s Their Fault
She cuts someone off, its their fault. She stops on the crosswalk, its the pedestrians fault. She can’t park in the car, she blames the company that made the yellow lines so close together. The funny thing with my mom is that she is never at-fault, even when she is clearly in the wrong.

#4 Mirror, Mirror on the Rear view
I’m lucky enough to have a mom that still takes care of herself, unfortunately this involves flipping down the vanity mirror at every spotlight to make sure her hair and make up is just right. Mom who are you trying to look so good for? I’m sure Dad would like to know.

#3 Daydreaming on Green
Aside from checking her make up at every red light, my mom will also get into a five second day dream when the light turns green, which inevitably leads to me screaming “go” or someone honking. Yes my mom is that person that adds five extra seconds to your daily commute.

#2 Allergic to U-Turns
When your mom misses a turn like all moms are prone to do, does your mom continue driving passed three intersections only to end up making a left turn to yelling at you for not driving in the first place? Mines does. For some reason my mom is allergic to making u-turns, even when there is nobody else on the road and it is perfectly legal to do so.

#1 Butt-er Enablers
My mom likes to think she is a saint. And like any saint, she puts others ahead of her, in this case literally. Any time a car is pulling out of a plaza, my mom will stop all traffic behind her and let the poor man go. But it’s funny that this saintly logic only applies to cars, because anytime a pedestrian is walking across the street, she will totally disregard stopping before the crosswalk.
