I can't believe what I did last nigth, I felt SUCH an idiot!! I have recently taken up having driving lessons again, and my instructor now thinks I'm at the standard where I'm ready to take my test... anyway, I have my own car which I go out to practise in (hubby has to accompany me).
So last night, hubby wants to go round his parents house, and I said "Ok, I'll drive!" So off we went in my little car.. I drove great - better than I've driven for a looong time, no mistakes at all!! I was soooo pleased!! So we get to his parents house and hubby starts saying how good I am doing etc etc etc and I felt great!
Hubby's little brother (the 18 year old know-it-all male chauvenist) has also been taking lessons, and had just passed his theory test, sohe was full of himself and how good he is at driving...(
)
So anyway, the night comes to an end and we leave to drive home.... I get in the car, and now there are alot of cars parked along the street, so, I'm on a hill, theres a huge van parked right in front of me, and cars parked all down the other side of the road.... so I start the engine up, and STALL it?!?!?! I haven't done that for soooo long!! I can't believe it!! All hubbys family are watching at the door... laughing... so, I have another go... fine.. except my car doesn't have power steering so I have to do BIG pulls on the wheel to get it around the van parked in front of me.... I end up stuck in-between two parked cars... I'm sooo mad by now
, so, I try to straighten up ready to pull off again... except hubby (in an attempt to help me) has put the car in reverse and not told me... so I fly backwards!! I just miss the parked car behind me!!! They are all still watching and hubby is LHAO.... I am SOOOO mad and embarrassed by this time, I just turn the engine off and get out yelling at hubby that he can drive home!!
I just can't believe everything had to go wrong at that exact moment... I have NEVER driven so badly before ever!!! ITs the first time they've seen me "drive" and now I can just imagine them all having a good laugh saying "gee's she's crap, she'll never pass her test" and hubbys brother saying "yeah well, she is a woman"....
ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
