9 Things We All Hate About Driving

Driving can be such a chore, especially when you consider these 9 things all drivers are familiar with.

9 Things We All Hate About Driving
Huffington Post

There are some things about driving a car that really suck. They just can't be avoided. Here is an ultra-relatable list of just nine of those things we all hate about driving.

1. The 18 seagulls that live in your car.

Those 18 seagulls that flock in your car every time you hop in- where do they come from, and why are they there? We don't know, but we do know they're annoying as hell.

2. How the tired pop off every other mile and you have to get out of the car and chase them down.

It happens all the time; the tires of your car just shooting off into the abyss. We don't have time to chase down all four tires in the middle of the Kennedy! #rt if you know what I'm talking about!

3. The GPS voice harshly berating your driving choices.

It's so mean. "Take a left up here, asshat" "It'll take 20 minutes of your worthless life for you to get to work in this traffic" "You can never satisfy your wife, Brian" I mean, jeez! Who does it think it is?

4. The tiny steering wheel.

We've all wondered it before: why is the steering wheel in every car so tiny? It's like a dime in my monstrous hands. You would think car companies know to make steering wheels big enough for our hands.

5. How every time you change gears, the car moans lustily.

It's creepy. Does the car enjoy it? It makes me uncomfortable.

6. The HIV risk.

The HIV risk we all take while sitting behind the wheel is too much. Something must be done to eradicate HIV. Donate here.

7. Regis Philbin constantly talking your ear off from the backseat.

Regis Philbin is a famed and terrific comedic legend, but does he ever shut up? When he sits in the backseat telling me all about the bullshit he's done in his career, it's too much for me to take. He's a great guy, but he doesn't need to sit in the backseat of my car and talk for my entire drive to Texas and back.

8. How there are so many pedals.

It's scary. I can't keep track of them all and it stresses me out. Car companies should listen to the people and decrease the number of pedals to maybe one, one half.

9. Submitting a driving plan before being cleared to go to the supermarket.

I don't have time to write out a full plan of how I intend to get to the supermarket to buy my daughter her gummy vitamins every Sunday. It's irritating. Who even reads and clears them?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
