I am sure most of us have needed our wives to help us reverse and get out of tricky situations
Here is my problem.
When I am reversing in a tight situation she stands at the back. I have long since given up on understanding the hand waves. I have to wind my window down and shout "I have no idea what that gesture means."
But, my main problem is the word "OK"
1. OK means keep reversing in this manner it is OK, keep coming
2. OK means you have reversed far enough, this distance is OK, you should stop now
When she has a better view of traffic on an awkward junction OK can mean
1. It is safe to exit this side road, there is no dangerous traffic
Now, you might think there can not be another interpretation. But there is one. OK also means OK after this white van.... no not that white van.... this other white van.
You might have gathered that she has gone to bed.
