Maybe they should make cars that nag

You turn it on, and a voice tells you all the things you neglected to do-left the lights on, or the windows down. And if you do all that, it damns you with faint praise, like, 'You turned everything off, but I'm surprised you can even see the road through that windshield."

It would be close to impossible to disconnect, and you'd probably never, ever forget the lights or windows again. lol

But someone suggested a GPS system that low-key bullies you.
GPS: "Make a U-Turn here."
Driver thinking to self: I'd feel safer pulling into a parking lot then going back.
GPS: "Nerd."

“Can you drive with BOTH hands?”

“You’re getting awfully close”

“You didn’t use your directional!”

I wouldn’t mind as much if I wasn’t the one who TAUGHT HER TO DRIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Signal your turn before you get to the intersection. There's someone in the crosswalk up ahead. Don't tailgate! Didn't you see the yield sign? The radio is too loud.
