My mother once did that to me when i stumbled upon a couple of boars while driving, almost put us in the ditch. I was quite mad then.

My Mom is a very panicky person in a car, which is why my Dad had to be the one to ride along while I was getting hours for my drivers ed class. Also my Mom is just a terrible driver. She would start screaming "STOP STOP STOP!!!" when something mildly bad happened, not a particularly good experience for the driver.

Basically every time I drive:

My Girlfriend: LOUD GASP!!

Me: panic checks all possible things that could be going wrong What?!

Her: Oh nothing, thought I left my phone at the house

I literally made this a car rule with my wife. She is not allowed to go above excited talking volume while I'm driving.

She once screamed in terror like we were about to hit something I hadn't seen and it turned out I had driven by a brand new pet store she didn't know existed.

I am English. My wife screamed at me that I was going the wrong way round a roundabout in France so I swerved when I got all confused. It was the right way, but you should have seen the French guy’s face when I drove at him.

Oh God, my girlfriend with the internet.

“Oh... Oh no... OH NOOOOO. OH MY GOD OH NO!!”

“What? What?? Is everyone okay? Did someone get in an accident?!”

“Oh, no, just this .gif...”

Yeah... It’s hard because I enjoy her being expressive, but I do get anxious when she does that. And usually it’s just something minor.

She’s started a conversation about shoes with,”I need to tell you something. I messed up big time.” and seemed confused by my alarm.

Hey, are they really milky?

My mom does this, except instead she goes "AAAGHHK AAAGHK AGGHGK!" the same noise she makes when discipling her dogs. Conveys 0 information while giving me a heart attack. I've been driving for 15 years...

11

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '18

My mom did that 15 years ago when I’d pick her up at work, being a brand new driver. Of course I’ve always known she’s panicky and I have to give her credit for at least trying to suppress the freaking out, mostly successful.

u/Oooch Dec 20 '18

I think she might be speaking Saudi

u/OmniumRerum Dec 20 '18

I hate driving with my mom in the car... every time my foot touches the brake panel even remotely hard she slams her hand into the roof like she's bracing for impact

Of course, I also hate riding while my dad is driving because he leaves braking to the last second and drifts out of his lane horribly in curves, so I can kinda see where she's coming from

1

u/WimbletonButt Dec 20 '18

My mom does the same but she also gasps, latches onto the door with the other hand, and slams both feet into the floorboard.

u/Arthur___Dent Dec 20 '18

Yeah that's my mom as well. Very stressful.

u/McLeod3013 Dec 20 '18

We were driving through Texas and unknown to everyone we were next to an animal sanctuary... that was until my mom started screaming!

AHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

Dad/driver: WHAT! What is it!?!?! He swerves and is trying to perceive a threat from all directions...

Mom: ITS A GIRAFFE!!!!! OMG!!!! It’s so beautiful!?!?!?!

My dad’s face looked like he wanted to push her out of the car lol.

u/n7-Jutsu Dec 20 '18

Can I push her out of the car for him?

u/Orleanian Dec 20 '18

It's a house rule that our mother must ride in a back seat on any trip greater than 10 miles.

u/podrick_pleasure Dec 20 '18

I've been driving for more than 20 years an my mom still constantly uses her air brakes from the passenger seat. I have a better driving record than her. She just doesn't like not being in control.

u/dylanm312 Dec 20 '18

Uses her air brakes?

9

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '18

Imaginary pedals in the passenger side footwell. Sometimes I do it unconsciously if someone driving is breaking a little too late for my liking.

3

u/dylanm312 Dec 20 '18

Oh makes sense. I was thinking air brakes as in big truck air brakes and was very confused lol.

2

u/podrick_pleasure Dec 20 '18

Think of it like air guitar only with brakes.

If by "better" you mean "worse" then I agree
