If you are anything like me, or me anything like you, we all have our quirks. From daily experience for the past 8 years, driving in the car alone has brought out my strongest quirks and habits, and I'm sure it has for you too. Out of the 10 things I find in myself and friends, which of these do you find yourself doing?
1. Expressing your feelings about the driver tailgating you, or the person texting and driving next to you.
2. Zoning out and staring off into the distance, until you come to your senses five minutes later and question how you are still alive.
3. Listening to your super secret playlist of songs that not even your friends have heard because it's like a portal into who you are.
4. Crying. When the quiet of a long car ride alone gets the thoughts rolling, the tears come streaming. "Wind Beneath My Wings" brings on the water works on a rainy car ride.
5. Calling any family members or friends to keep you company, and to let your mom in on the latest gossip.
6. When you run out of songs to listen to and people to call, and you find yourself watching the gas meter going down mile by mile, while trying to calculate how much farther you can make it on what gas you have left.
7. Eat, snack and eat some more. If the snacks are in arms reach, there's no doubt I will occupy a long car ride with food.
8. Reasonably speeding to get to where you need to be, slamming on your breaks at any car that remotely resembles a patrol car.
9. Makeup. I am shocked every day at the amount of women I see driving with their knees and focusing on the details of their eyeliner application while driving 65 mph down the interstate. Kudos to your multitasking, or should I say rest in peace.
10. Selfies. Its inevitable - morning car light is the best for a selfie, and why not capture it on a day you actually woke up and tried to look human?
