    Okay well, I'll consider all that. I just talked to her for about an hour online and it was nice. We're all in good spirits after having received our AP scores. (she got all 5s with the exception of two 4s) She was very communicative and interactive and willing to open up to me, so that was nice. I must mention that the past week has been kind of depressing as anything that's occurred in our lives has been negative. Perhaps after this positive event, she will start communicating. She is the type to become quiet when life is dull, so hopefully this is her coming around.

    You've been a big help mvagusta, and I thank you, sir. :)

    My gf is lecturing me about my driving... I have had my license for over 2 years. She has had hers for 4 months. I also drive for my job(pizza delivery)... I think I might have a little more experience than her.

    You're a man. She's a woman. You therefore are the worst driver in the world, and she is infinitely better. (yep a generalisation, but when even insurance companies operate on this assumption....)

    I'm three years older than my fiance, and we both got our licenses when we were 17.

    Her car has a much higher power to weight ratio than mine (hatchback vs saloon, but both turbo diesels) and thus goes much faster.

    I say nothing about her driving.

    She clutches the door handle with white knuckles when I drive :wallbash:

    Her: "EEEUSSH!"
    Me: "What?"
    Her: "You nearly hit that curb"
    Me: "The curb that I was a foot away from?"
    Her: "It looked like you were going up it!!"

    I have mirrors and eyes, and I regularly drive down narrow roads ... which have curbs. Not to say I won't ever clip one, but I won't hit one every single time we're out in my car :wallbash:

    Some women are the worst passengers EVER.
    My missus makes me VERY scared if she drives my car, though. It sometimes seems she has NO fine motor skills in her feet, and as a consequence the brakes are on or off, the throttle is open or closed, and the clutch is a toggle switch too.
    In any other car, I'd be ok with that, but the little Fiat of mine has punished me for being too aggro on more than one occasion. Last time the missus drove it, I was sitting there thinking of how to finance new wheels, suspension and possible body damage. Literally.

    There is a real chance that I have (on more than one occasion) pushed the car over the edge though, and there is a chance that I am not a brilliant driver. Although having a license for going on 10 years and having had one accident in the meantime (which was a thrid party's fault - nothing I couldv'e done, Police agrees) would generally indicate otherwise.

    I think everyone feels that everyone else is a bad driver.

    I've got my own little 'style' of driving based around getting the highest possible gas mileage because I am very cheap. It often involves coasting up hills even if it means going under the speed limit and coasting down hills, even if it means going way over the limit. Brakes are a waste of momentum which I can use to save on gas! Stop signs at intersections where I can see far ahead on both sides and safety coast through I do a California stop at best to avoid having to accelerate after stopping. Going around corners I typically go faster than normal because slowing and accelerating is a waste. It scares the hell out of friends who ride with me because it's so bi-polar from too slow to too fast and they routinely complain about it, but when I ride with them they're no better! Speeding up to stop signs and slamming on the breaks at the last second then mashing the gas to tear off once they've stopped.

    tl;dr we're all bad drivers! :D

    Knowing I could earn more money while doing less work if I told the bloke I work for/with to go *expletive deleted* himself. He's lazy, has a drink problem, spends all day talking utter bollox and thinks he's smarter than everyone else. If i dont get away from him soon i'll probably end up breaking his nose..

    I accidentally got emotional and insulted my girlfriend by implying that she's out to hurt me.

    I'm breaking up with her tomorrow. I dunno how I'll cope, but I should probably stop torturing myself and torturing her with my emotions and insanity. Should I dress nicely?

    Print out a Butthurt form and give it to her. That should let her know how you feel. :thumb:

    Friend of mine died in a car crash on her way home from work last night, leaving behind her 10 year old son.
    To avoid the 4-chan moment: Nope... no cool loot dropped.
