We were on our way to the theater last night to see The Blind Side. We were only a few blocks from home when I realized it was getting dark and my headlights should be on. There was a car approaching from the opposite direction, so I waited until it was right next to me and then switched on my lights.
I chuckled at myself and then told my wife, “I’ve always had this strange determination to never let other drivers see me turn my lights on. I always wait until I get to a place where it’s unlikely anyone will see them go on.”
I fully expected my wife to tell my how weird I am, but instead she said, “I do that too.”
Which now has me wondering. Is this a strange quirk that we just happen to have in common, or this this a wide-spread feeling that a lot of people share?
Totally do this.
Maybe it’s from that weird urban myth that if you flash your lights at a gangsta he will kill you.
That’s not my reason. I routinely flash my lights when I see someone who should have his on.
I think this is widespread. How often do you see someone turn on their headlights.
I totally did this before I had a car with always on headlights.
That’s stupid. And yes, I used to do it too.
Yup. Same here.
