Have you even been forced to sit in the passenger seat and go round and round and in circles, completely lost, just because your other half refuses to stop and ask for directions?
If you have, you're by no means the only one.
In fact, according to recent research by car insurance firm, RAC Direct, male drivers waste a massive six million hours every year simply because of their reluctance to admit that they're lost on the road.
Whatever their reasons, whether they're too proud, too stubborn or some other equally silly explanation, the average man will wait a whole 20 minutes before admitting to himself that he is lost and so finally asking for directions.
In contrast, us lost ladies, ever more rational, wait only ten minutes before we stop and ask some kind passer-by where on earth we are. Now isn't that more sensible?
The motor insurance company undertaking the research even discovered that men endure a "nagging period" of about ten minutes, during which time, presumably, we moan and groan and tell them to grow up, before they finally decide to listen to our all-knowing wisdom and actually stop to ask for help.
Not surprisingly, the study also revealed that 64% of couples admit that getting lost or refusing to ask for directions causes in-car arguments. No shocker there then.
Craig Handy, spokesman for CoverGirl Car Insurance, specialists in providing women's car insurance at fabulous prices, commented on the eye-opening research, saying, "Every year there are thousands of accidents caused by rowing couples, so it might just be a good idea to have a look at a map and scribble down some directions before you set off."
