Man Says His Girlfriend Has Totaled 2 Cars, Now She Wants to Drive His: 'She Keeps Asking'

One man is asking whether he is in the wrong for not allowing his girlfriend to drive his new car.

In a recent post on the "AITA" subreddit, which translates to “Am I the A------,” a 24-year-old man said that he had "worked [his] ass off" to buy his first "nice" car.

“I saved for years, drove beaters while I worked two jobs, and when I finally got this car, it felt like a reward for all my effort. I take care of it, too — I wash it every weekend, never let it get below half a tank, and park away from everyone else in parking lots like a total dork,” he explained before noting that his girlfriend, also 24, wants to drive the car.

But he went on to explain that despite loving his girlfriend, “she is the single worst driver I've ever met. And I'm not exaggerating.

"1. She’s totaled two cars in the past two years. The first was because she ‘misjudged’ the distance while merging on the highway. The second? She reversed into a light pole in an empty parking lot," he wrote.

Plus, he wrote that “she tailgates like crazy.”

“I’ve had to tell her multiple times to back off the car in front of her when I’m in the passenger seat because it feels like we’re going to die," he added.

To make matters worse, he claimed that she's “admitted” to him that “she ‘doesn’t like paying attention’ while driving because ‘It’s boring.’ ”

“I wish I were kidding," he wrote.

As he explained his predicament, he noted that he had allowed her to drive his old car once before. “She managed to scrape it pulling into a gas station," he shared. "After that, I said I’d never let her drive my car again, and we both kind of laughed it off.”

But now she wants to drive his new car, and although he was able to playfully tell her no, “she’s been getting more annoyed about” his refusal.

“The other day, we were driving to dinner (me driving, obviously), and she brought it up again," he added. "She said it’s 'weird' that I won’t let my own girlfriend drive my car and that it makes her feel like I don’t trust her.”

“I told her straight up: ‘It’s not that I don’t trust you—it’s that I’ve seen you drive, and I can’t afford to have this car wrecked.’ She got quiet and didn’t say much for the rest of the night,” he continued.

He noted that later, she confessed to him that he “embarrassed her and made her feel like she’s incompetent.”

“I said I wasn’t trying to embarrass her, but she has totaled two cars. She said I should ‘Get over it’ because accidents happen,” adding that she said he’s being “controlling.”

So he asked his fellow Redditors what they thought about the situation — and by and large, they took his side.

“Regardless of your reasoning, your gf is not entitled to driving your car. If she brings it up again, bring up all of the things she’s done while driving the other cars," wrote one commenter.

"It's your car. She could have a spotless driving record and you would still be OK for saying no," added another.

Meanwhile, others noted that if the Redditor wasn't exaggerating the situation, he should consider encouraging his girlfriend to take immediate action to become a better driver — and get off the road in the meantime.

As one commenter put it, "She's a public threat to safety and you should do everything you can to discourage her from driving.”
