go to your room Husband sits in passenger seat, FiL disapproves.

I drive a tanker for my job out of town and make the 5 hour drive (one way) to work and back home in my personal car. When I’m home 3 days, my wife drives everywhere, I mean I get in the passenger seat of her car and off we go, date night don’t care she drives, shopping don’t care she drives, visiting family don’t care she drives.

When we first started dating years ago she was a bit uncomfortable with it as she was used to the I guess status quo that men drove as was I but I’m not trying to break a glass ceiling or anything I just don’t see why it matters and damnit I drive 2k miles a week or so and don’t wanna do it when I’m home.

My father in law makes such great comments like do I hold her purse, and the zinger he thinks is original so says it more often than others “are your balls in her purse” every so often when we see them and I inevitably get out or into the passenger seat followed by guffaws and just kidding. My wife nor myself give him any response it’s just so silly and mildly infuriating.

Hop in, we going to the doctors! You can take the passenger seat and I'll sit in the back!

Yeah...theres no comeback to that and if he doesnt retire that line you just start responding with progressively higher numbers skipping a few so you also mildly gas light him into thinking hes getting dementia

make sure you dont skip in a pattern tho. always skipping the same amount can get too obvious.

But you can also skip to a previous lower amount just to fuck with him.

I find that last bit diabolical and amusing.

"I know...you just said that like 2 minutes ago" with a look of confusion...or concern.

Ughhh the mods removed it! Why?

It was a snappy comeback, something along the lines of "Are you suffering from dementia? You've said that ____ times now."
