Initiate phase 2: do it!
But then we'd have to dredge up extra money for a new one, because he won't settle for anything else. And then it would start all over again. Better not to spend extra money on the aggravation, yanno?
He has to sleep sometime. Turn them off yourself!
You're so silly, thinking I don't do that at least a couple times a month! I don't think he's caught on yet; he usually just gives it a puzzled look and then restores it to all its clicky glory.
My dad blew my horn when I was driving two times already. I have sworn to all that's holy the moment he will do it a third time, I'll throw him out of the car regardless of where we are.
I was in a car driven my dad this past weekend. It was the first time in a couple of years, and I was reminded why my dad's rotten driving is a family joke. He has a lead foot . . . on the brake pedal. Four complete stops at every traffic signal, stop sign, brake light ahead of him, or mph above the speed limit while driving down a steep hill. (He claims it saves wear on the brakes. He tried to teach me to do the same thing. Good thing I never listen to the man!) Despite his permanent 10-and-2 grip on the wheel, he can't stay in a lane to save his life--constant overcorrecting FTL!--and he never, ever goes the posted speed limit; we're lucky to get him to go 5 mph below it.
Talk about "things that annoy me." I bloody HATE being in a car with my father.
