Learn an Easy Way To Get A Man To Stop For Driving Directions
Let’s face it, most boys automatically like dump trucks, race cars and all things slimy. Girls will usually start LOVING pink or purple (or both) at around age 3. And men are hard-wired to do whatever it takes to avoid stopping to ask for driving directions. In fact, there’s probably nothing they like less than putting down the fold-out map, pulling into a gas station and politely asking the nice man behind the counter how to get back to the correct highway.
If, perchance, they actually find themselves making the stop to ask the taboo question (I ‘dunno, crazy things happen sometimes) then your fellow will 9 times out of 10 come back with a scowl on his face complaining that the store clerk is an idiot.
So as we girls learn to understand and accept this irrefutable fact of life (much like we submit dutifully to our monthly visit from “Aunt Ruby”), we must become savvy in dealing with the “car bandit” in a more pro-active way – trust me, save your breath and focus on getting to the destination before the party is over and all the food is gone.
Now, the key is that we want to do this peacefully. No threats or repeated suggestions to “let me drive”. No, we’re going the clever route this time. Just remember to never discuss this with your partner – that would dilute it’s potency. So, you’re driving along and just when you feel tempted to say “oh look, there’s that exit again”, bite your tongue and pull out a book or a magazine; or anything that will distract you for the next 5 to 10 minutes – you can even pretend to try to take a nap. After several minutes, start jiggling around like you really have to go to the bathroom and then say quickly “I’m sorry, but I really have to go to the bathroom – can you please pull into the next gas station?”
Now you wait. And while you wait you shake – you know the little bathroom jiggle kids do when they’ve waited too long to pee. When you get to the gas station, head straight to the rest room and wait again. Stay in there a loooooong time. If it’s not possible to do that because people are waiting (or if it’s just gross… It is a gas station after all), then come out of the restroom and ever so slowly, browse around the store for goodies. Take your time.
Now here’s the vital part – by this time your man has possibly approached somebody for directions. Regardless of whether he has or not, you need to now inconspicuously approach the counter and ask for directions on your own. Jot down notes if you can because your guy certainly did not do that if he asked first. If he catches you and tells you not to trouble with it as he has already gotten the directions, say “Oh, yep I know, but the clerk told me he didn’t needed to add one more thing.” Quickly finish writing the directions down (and try not to pay attention to the bewildered look on the cashier’s face).
Now you probably have 2 different set of directions (yours being the right one) and you’re on your way!
Remember though, your fellow will not have a memory of this little incident. But he WILL wax on about the route he took and how much faster it was than the driving directions he originally got from the party host.
Try it out for yourself ladies and feel free to thank me later. Safe travels!
