I love my fiance very, very much, obviously or I wouldn’t be marrying the guy next month. LOL. But there is one thing that drives me insane: he doesn’t do the “Jeep Wave” when he is driving my Jeep.
Those of you with Jeeps know that when you see another Jeep you wave. It can be as simple as two fingers off the steering wheel, or a full-out “how’s it goin’!!”, but you still acknowledge the other Jeep driver. I have had my Jeep since December 2009 and I explained this to him from the very beginning. He didn’t believe me at first, until he dropped me off one day just after I bought her and called 20 minutes later, laughing, saying “Some guy in a Jeep just waved at me!” He KNOWS about the Jeep Wave. I have gently reminded him. I have yelled at him when he’s driving and another Jeep goes by: “Wave, honey. WAVE!!!” I have threatened to revoke his Jeep-driving privileges. He’ll do a half-assed wave kind of condescendingly just to shut me up. If someone waves first he’ll wave back if he notices, but he doesn’t think to watch for it like a true Jeep driver and I just think it’s rude when someone acknowledges you and you don’t acknowledge them back. I know this sounds like the most trivial thing ever, but it infuriates me that he won’t respect the culture of the awesome vehicle that I’m so generously letting him drive.
But I guess if that’s the worst thing that annoys me about my future husband I have it pretty good.
**What seemingly trivial thing does your spouse do that drives you bat-shit crazy? **
Better still, how can I stop wanting to strangle the guy every time he drives my vehicle?
