Remember when you were 16 and just got your license? You were nervous, but also very excited. You no longer had to ask your parents to drive you to your friend's house, you could just get in your car and go (during your state-mandated driving hours of course!).
I too felt this excitement, but it quickly wore off.
I often joke that I wish the "auto-train" ran from my university to my house. (I live two hours away from school)
Yes, I acknowledge that I may sound like a grumpy old lady, but here are some reasons as to why I hate driving.
1. Driving is stressful.
There are so many different things that could go wrong! You have to worry about a thousand things at once, all while maintaining a safe following distance from the vehicle in front of you.
2. Driving is expensive.
You may not have worked a job before you got your license, but you will certainly have to now that you have a car! From car insurance to gas, to the unforeseen repairs, cars are expensive.
3. Driving is a waste of time.
I could be doing more important things than driving. I could be reading, doing homework, binge-watching a show on Netflix...
4. Driving makes your (my) head hurt.
I'm worried about what all the other drivers are doing and staring at the road makes my eyes and head hurt.
5. Driving is dangerous.
In my opinion, driving is necessary, but I don't want to do it. If we HAVE TO drive, I'd much rather ride as a passenger (I'd prefer that we take a train if possible ).
