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 have never experienced this lol I’ve sat in my car for like 20 minutes when I had to eat lunch in the car before but that’s about it.

    I’ve never seen anyone just sit motionless in their car for an hour before though… Maybe that’s a regional thing?

      Thats possible I reckon. I live in a fairly conservative Bible belt “city” so I’m used to being surrounded by all the things I find insane, counter productive, etc 🤣
