Everyone I know, even more “progressive” people, treat me like a damn alien for not prioritizing getting a new car since mine died over covid.
Why does nobody blink an eye at this habit people have of just… Sitting in their car in the driveway? Its not on, there’s no music, they aren’t leaving - they’re just sitting there for an hour or more. I see it fairly often, but if I mention it being odd people look at me like I’m dumb. Are we really THAT car centric now that it’s this normalized to be like “fuck my living room, fuck my TV, fuck my couch, I just wanna sit in my car all day?”
I see this a lot too. Based on where I live, I’ve assumed it’s bc there are too many people living in the house and they need some peace and quiet and/or talk on the phone in private. It’s common to see 6+ cars in front of 3 bedroom houses here, housing prices being what they are.
