More things I wonder about…
I started noting things I wonder about here. Here are a couple more:
- Wondering about the term "meteoric rise." The term is used to describe a dramatic upswing and yet all meteors do is fall quickly to the ground and flame out.
- What is the deal with people who need to back into their parking spaces? I have never understood this phenomenon and I wonder if its just a Texas thing. And its usually the people with the biggest vehicles, like the big trucks that are found in Texas. To me, its way too stressful trying to negotiate into a parking space while backing up. I’d rather have the easier back up scenario where I’m not trying to thread the needle between two other vehicles. I cannot figure out what kind of advantage this provides someone, so if someone out there does this regularly, please explain why.
- Another parking lot scenario. When packing out of a spot, why must you be three-fourths out of your spot before you get the respect of oncoming traffic. It seems I’m invariably putting the brakes on even when my car is well out of its space.
That’s it for today…
