We get to a beach, me, wife, baby.

It is mobbed and impossible to find parking. Driving in bumper to bumper traffic.

I say “I don’t like this and I don’t have what we need for today. Let’s go somewhere else.” We both agree that there is no parking. And I drive away.

So we go somewhere else. Later wife talks about how much traffic there was. She says I could have a cooler everywhere I went if it was far away from now on. I said I was not going to do that.

Sometimes the DEER thing (especially explaining) confuses me in the moment. If I just said “I don’t like this” and drove away from the situation without ANY window into my rationale, it would be extremely weird. Any normal human would at least add in “there is no parking” or “we don’t have snacks.”
