IT TAKES NEW DRIVERS ONLY 10 WEEKS TO BECOME A BAD DRIVER _ After passing their driving test, it takes someone just 10 weeks to become a bad driver. A study of 2,000 car owners found the average new road user lets bad habits creep in less than three months after getting their drivers license. The two things we do wrong almost immediately: Not holding the steering wheel in the correct position and failing to check their mirrors every time we make a lane change. Only 40 percent of women and 32 percent of men believe they have bad driving habits.

BAD TOASTS _ It’s wedding season and people are sharing the worst things said during a toast.
• The father of the bride was toasting his daughter, who had two other daughters. He said, “You know, she may not be the smartest or prettiest in the family, but let me tell you, she has a good heart.”
• The father (the father of the bride) listed off everything he didn’t like about the groom in his speech. He said, “You’re not a doctor, you don’t have all of your hair, and you’re not the smartest man she’s dated. But welcome to the family I guess.” The groom’s family took the opposite approach and gushed about how much they loved their new daughter-in-law.
• The best man was drunk and quoted Hitler. He also dropped the mic three times.
