'Want me to shut up? OK': Condescending parents embarrassed after snubbing a highly-logical teenager on a long-distance road trip

Parents have a nasty habit of underestimating their kids. Perhaps this is because they cleaned our diapers and taught us not to eat the glitter glue, but once we were grown into teenagers, we had more of the world figured out than they imagined. In this next story, a highly logical teenager gets pushed to the side when some vacation hiccups turn into substantial problems. 

A pair of parents taking their son and his best friend on a road trip to the southwest encountered a bit of a situation. After driving for 9 hours on the first day of their trip, they noticed the latch of their old 1988 Town Car was getting stuck when they popped the latch with the button up front. Frustrated and unable to get their luggage out of the car, the parents went into panic mode but were quick to sideline the suggestions of the eager teens in the backseat. 

Scroll for the entire story of how this teenager had a satisfying 'I told you so' moment after getting told to shut his mouth. After this, here's another story of a couple of parents who took advantage of their Gen X kiddos after spending their life savings.
