12 Things You Know Too Well If You're The Only One With a Car

There’s a collective feeling that too many of us understand and know too well, and that’s the pain of being the only driver.

Whether you’re only one of your friends with a car, or the only one with a driver’s license, that collective feeling? It’s called: frustration. It seeps into your soul from time to time, eating away at your moral compass, the one that tells you to bite back your retort at their suggestion you should learn to parallel park better or clean up your car.

They mean well.

We think.

Still, for those of us who endure the pain of being the only one in a group setting who has a car, this is for you. Here are 14 sentiments you’ll know all too well if you’re the only one who drives.

It all starts off fine. You’re excited to be back on the road after saving for your new car.

 

 

But then, you slowly begin to realize…

 

 

…that being the only one who drives isn’t fun anymore.

 

 

It’s kind of like that feeling you get whenever you’re invited out to places far away, and you’re not sure if it’s because they actually like your company or if it’s because they need a ride…

 

 

Or like when you’re the designated driver. A little bit too often.

 

 

And being the only sober, while great for your skin and liver, isn’t as much fun.

 

 

Oh, right. There’s those people who want you to help them move come end of the month and they'll pay you back in beer.

 

 

And how no one is ever offering to pay for gas.  

 

 

The face you make when they’re terrible at directions.

 

 

Right, yes, I know exactly which tree on the corner across from the store you’re talking about.

 

 

And then there’s the people who try to tell you how to park or merge better.

 

 

Still. Despite their many flaws. You suppose they’re not all bad.

 

Right?
