I think it is safe to say that we all think about some questionable things from time to time while we are driving, so here are just 10 of the many things I notice I think about while I am en route somewhere.
1. “Why are you not even going the speed limit?”
Pretty self-explanatory, but don't you just hate when you are stuck behind someone and they are going so slow and then they go even slower when you start getting closer to them? Ugh! At least be courteous and go the speed limit, thank you very much.
2. "I wonder if people can see me singing to myself?"
Now, if you don't belt out a song or two while you are driving, then you are just lying to yourself and missing out, quite honestly. Rocking out to music while driving is one of my favorite things, but somehow I forget that people are probably looking at me thinking I am crazy. Even if they are, who cares! I enjoy it, so let them think what they want!
3. “Why doesn’t anyone know how to drive?”
This is especially true when snowbirds are in town and when they have absolutely no idea where they are even going. I probably ask myself this question multiple times a day and still have no definitive answer, sadly. Maybe one day I will figure out the magical answer.
4. "Should I get gas now?”
Okay, probably not such a good thing to think about while I am in the process of driving somewhere, but it happens. Sometimes I just forget to check my gas gauge and then when I finally do, it usually is not a pretty sight. Yes, I am one of those people that will try to put off getting gas until the very last minute, whoops!
5. "Do I have everything I need?"
If you never ask yourself this while you are driving, then I must be the only weird one here. I will go through a mental check-list of everything that I should have with me just to be extra cautious because you never know what could happen, dude.
6. "Am I going the right way?”
This only happens when I am unfamiliar with where I am going, or if I am going somewhere for the first time. Of course, I utilize my handy-dandy maps on my phone, but we all know how unreliable those can be sometimes, am I right?
7. "Why are you staring at me?”
Maybe it is just because of the kind of car I drive, but I find people constantly staring at me while I am driving, for absolutely no reason and they make it so noticeable. It is actually quite amusing, but also extremely irritating at the same time. Focus on the road, please!
8. "Thank God for tinted windows!"
Let's just say sometimes I get a little rowdy when I am driving and have a tendency to let my road rage let loose, so having tinted windows saves my butt from time to time from getting myself into trouble, I am sure of that!
9. "I should probably wash my car."
Unfortunately, I don't take as much care of my car as I should, so sometimes it can get pretty dirty. I have a white car too, so it is very noticeable and I always feel guilty about it.
10. "Am I speeding? I should probably slow down."
Sometimes I get lost in my own thoughts while I am driving and never realize how fast I am going. Sometimes I am that lazy and just don't take the time to actually look at my speedometer, but then when I do, I realize I probably should slow down just a little bit, LOL.
