redhead-kitten's Journal: Why do they do that?

So, we are on the way into work this morning, and I look over at a car we are passing. The driver is leaning way over toward the passenger seat. He's not looking for something on the floor, he's just driving down the road like that.

Now, I've seen this phenomenon before, but usually the driver is alone or has a girl in the passenger seat. This morning it was a *dude*!

I can't imagine that it would be comfortable to sit in bucket seats and lean way over to center your face in the middle of the windshield. What reason is there to drive like that?

Do any of you 'dotters drive like that? Do you know anyone who does? Any suggestions on why?

In other news, I'm flying to Phoenix today for a baby shower. (Happy Friday the 13th) My nephew's wife is preggers and we are gathering to celebrate another new life into the family. (she's due the first part of Sept, and I can't imagine being pregnant in Phoenix over the summer!)

Enjoy your weekend all!

Air vents?

The only reason I can think of is that the window was fogged/frosted, and he was in too much of a hurry to wait for the heater to do it's work. Thus, looking right over the vent - where the glass clears first. ?

Didn't say it was a SANE reason....

He was probably leaning on the armrest with his hand resting on the shit handle. I do that all the time because I hate not having a stick and I want to shift :(

I don't find it really makes much of a difference. Unless he has the seat way back too, it doesn't really hurt your vision (assuming you've appropriately adjusted your mirrors of course), and as long as you're paying attention, it doesn't affect your judgement as to where the car is in the lane.

No idea

I don't drive like that or know anybody that does. Generally, I think it'd be terribly uncomfortable to not sit straight up and down in the seat, but maybe I'm used to more contoured seats than these people had.

But really, I just wanted to state that preggers is the funniest word I've seen/heard all day.
