While some people may sit in their cars alone for long periods, there are many more who never do, so it’s still strange behaviour to many. Believe it or not, even being on your phone excessively in public without a car looks strange to many people.
With their fucking engine on. Fuck them
My mom was just saying 2 days ago as we walked down our street, she doesn’t understand why so many people come home in the evening and just sit in their cars. Like, you’re home. Go in your home. We could come up with plenty of scenarios for people to do it once in a while, but for so many it’s like a ritual.
When you get home from work, sometimes it’s nice to decompress for a few minutes before going in to start on chores/dinner/whatever. Especially if you have roommates or children that will immediately require your attention when you go inside.
Not a ritual but I’ve occasionally arrived home in the middle of an NPR story or a piece of music 🎶 that I’ve let finish before going inside.
There is even a term for it, Driveway moments.
Yes. The key is to turn off the motor, and get out before you start to worry about the battery.
