The most annoying thing a passenger can do in your vehicle

PSA for everyone who’s ever ridden shotgun: Backseat driving is officially the most annoying thing you can do in someone else’s car. And honestly? We all knew this already.

New research from Guessing Headlights confirms what every driver has muttered under their breath on a road trip—unsolicited navigation tips, speed critiques, and “helpful” route suggestions make us absolutely crazy. The average driver hits their limit after just thirteen minutes of passenger nonsense. Thirteen!

Rounding out the top five ways to guarantee you’re never getting a ride again:

Leaving your trash behind (my car is not a dumpster, thanks)
Complaining about my driving
Eating something that stinks up the whole vehicle
Screaming “WATCH OUT!” when there’s literally nothing there
Also on the list? Changing the music without asking, putting your feet on my dashboard (seriously, who raised you?), and—this one’s a classic—never offering gas money.

Consider this your official notice. 🚗
