Poll of the Week:Driving and Watching People,Do They Mix

May 4th, 2008 · 6 Comments

I find that while driving I have to look around to see who else is on the road next to me. When I pass someone, I almost always have to turn my head and look who I just left behind. Women in fancy cars, especially with plates like “HOT4U” always deserve a look (almost always a disappointment). Jackasses, tailgaters, people who cut me off in traffic are asking for a nasty look. People who eat, shave, apply makeup, read and talk on the phone get a look too, maybe the last look they will get before they crash. Just the other day I saw a woman who was seemingly trying to swallow….a whole egg McMuffin, wrapper and all, while driving 75 mph. So I am guilty but I can’t stop myself from doing it. It makes an hour I spend on the road every day go by faster.
So this week’s poll will help determine if my behavior is the norm or a deviation. Vote!

    I once drove a lumber truck down and back up an embankment rubber necking a woman in a short skirt driving with her foot on the dash. I blame her for what could have been, but wasnt , the death of me.

    We have a driving game, kind of like slug bug, where you get points if you spy someone picking their nose.

    I think it should go without saying that actively judging the behavior / attire / general worth of a total stranger is not itself and act that is subject to judgment.

    And short skirts may yet be the death of us all.

    I disagree, I think short skirts should be mandated.

    [...] one hundred percent of the time, we all do distracting things - eat, make phone calls, look around, look at other drivers, the luckiest among us are having sex, so this woman is no different than people who leave retarded [...]
