      American here living in a car-only area.

      I didn’t even raise an eyebrow at that previous comment. Sure most drivers are fine, but there are plenty of people who make me wonder what the hell combination of these issues (and others) is going on with them.

      The most common example I get to see is the people speeding through the elementary school parking lot in their luxury SUVs. I especially love it when they start a phone call as they start driving, after they just finished standing around, collecting their kid, and walking back to the parking lot.

        They said nearly every single person

        I’d say it’s 1%

          Let me introduce you to a figure of speech called hyperbole.

            Familiar, but changing 1% to 99% is no longer hyperbole.

              That’s exactly what hyperbole is.

      You mean, I wouldn’t care about them if I saw them up close, too?
