Sure this happens all the time but it is supposed to be therapeutic to vent. I am really growing to dislike the instructor I get paired with. The guy had a perfect career run for like 50 years and so he's quick to point out how each students' driving is wrong. I get that he's trying to get us ready for the real world when there won't be someone there to save us from ourselves but nothing positive ever comes out of this guy's mouth unless it is about himself and his driving and each mistake we students make just makes him more and more angry - so naturally he throws you off your game and you drive worse and it is just a downward spiral. I have a thick skin so I get paired with him almost every day and it really wears on me. Its been a couple months now and the way this guy is talking about my skills I'll never graduate.
Ahh, venting makes me feel better already.
Really dislike my driver-instructor

I read all my trainees post here so i know when i,m getting to them, then i really let them have it, i see you need more time with me to learn how to be a bitter old man driving your life away.

If I were you I would ask for another trainer right away. That is not teaching, that is critizing and it inhibits your learning ability. He is saying that you guy's were not taught correctly from the start.
I had a trainer like that myself and the company got rid of him because he had the experience to drive, but no teaching experience at all. It is obvious that he needs to find another career, by the way who hired him to teach in the first place?
If you ever gt the thought of " aww man I got to get prepared for this crap" then get out of his truck.
You are not learning a thing and if your not learning he isn't doing his job.
do this a.s.a.p.J Man Thanks this. -

They don't need to become a bitter old man they need to be taught per company policy. if you cant teach them give them to me. I will teach them myself.
If you cant do the job find something else to do. your only enabling these students. btw, you work for them. -

Sounds like he's preparing you well, your going to be off your game and pissed off 24/7 when you first start out alone.
Trainers can be a pain in the but and just like everyone else some need an attitude adjustment. Right now your living with a guy you don't like and anything he says is 10 times as bad because you can't get away from him.
Listen if he takes a shower stick with him, the next one might be a lot worse.J Man, Bill104 and kw9's rock Thank this.
