OBVIOUS: MANY OF US ARE STRESSED WHILE DRIVING _ A study found that a third of us regularly drive while stressed — and half of those stressed blame other drivers. We’re stressed most by:
• Being tailgated
• Poor driving decisions by other drivers (e.g., speeding)
• Bad roads (e.g. potholes)
• Winding roads and blind spots
• Bad weather
• Passing cyclists on the road
WHAT’S THE WORST DATE YOU HAVE EVER BEEN ON? Here’s what the internet shared:
• Went on a blind date with a lady who wouldn’t stop picking at her scabs. She made a pile out of them on the restaurant table.
• I had a woman call her mom while we were sitting at the table and tell her how cute our kids will look. It was our first date.
• The woman I was dating decided she wanted to treat me to our Valentine’s date. I was pretty excited since I always did the dates/planning/etc. Despite having her own place, she drove me to her parents house where she made dinner for the four of us. Again — it was a Valentine’s Day date. It was the least romantic, the most awkward date. We broke up shortly afterward.
• I met a woman from Tinder at a local pub. She arrived like 30 minutes late. It happens, no big deal. So we’re sitting at the bar, chatting. She has her phone out the entire time. At one point, it became glaringly obvious that she was actively swiping Tinder while on the date.
• My now-husband shared that he met someone online, went to a restaurant where his date decided to share how much they admired the serial killer Ted Bundy.
