If it makes you feel any better (probably not :-), my dad has the bad habit of running over my mom’s flower beds with his pickup truck & sometimes the tractor. At times, following the tire tracks, it almost looks like he goes out of his way to run over the plants - really makes her mad. The ‘funny’ thing is he’s always bringing back bulbs, bushes, trees, all sorts of things that he wants her to plant .... then he runs over the beds.
Exactly. Hugs to your mom.
