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?”

    Maybe - I know this might sound a bit extreme - ask your wife about it?

      Heh yeah. I’ve asked her on a few occasions and she looks embarrassed and gives me a different answer every time. I figure she just needs a moment and so I’ve stopped prying.
