As a verb: To engage obsessively with planning for weather, traffic, and other logistic and intrude on how others plan.
Also as a pejorative: To accuse another of micro-managing acts of driving, packing, and scheduling.
The tendency to jimdick was more common when planning information had to be tediously gathered from newspapers, AM radio, and paper maps to be conveyed to a recipient.
