Then it all makes sense... it's not that they're jerks... they just can't see where they're going at night.

Maybe you're right for some of them hahaa.

Ok, I'm gonna go hard on this one: tinting is nasty, cuz it will bubble eventually, and what's the pt, just wear some shades, also, it reduces night vision. Unless you're a drug dealer, no pt!

Now you've crossed the line...

When does it bubble? Unless you're getting some random person installing it for you, I wouldn't expect it to bubble. I like the look of a nicely tinted car. I don't like limo tints, but a solid 35% all around not only looks classy IMO, but it also doesn't impair vision at night.

Yes, I know I'm treading dangerously. I dunno, I always see some cars w bubbling so assume they will go eventually.

Anyway, I love me some nice clear windows, untainted, untinted.

Yep, a lot of chemicals in that plastic fake one both to make it and when it eventually ends up in a dump somewhere or the ocean. The real trees you can plant new ones and harvest them when they get big enough, all tree farms operate this way.

I agree on the tint to an extent. I have 35% on my car, and it does help with heat inside the car, sunlight, etc, but whenever I see someone with limo tint on a car worth $2000 they are usually driving like a d-bag.

Hmmm, interesting, I always thought it was the reverse, that it's crazy to keep getting new trees every yr when one can keep using the same fake one. I wonder if there are actual studies on this topic?

Ya, maybe it's confirmation bias re my tint opinion, but it's part of the reason some ppl wanna hide themselves, and that also in turn makes them more 'bold' to due stupid/reckless things.

Or maybe they just wanna pick their noses without being judged by other drivers.

Setting off fireworks is a stupid way to celebrate something.

I'm the opposite, I love fireworks, but if you are going to set them off at least make it something decent. Nobody wants to hear you setting off your POS Roman Candles or firecrackers you bought at the gas station 1 at a time all night long.

Not sure if this is unpopular or just personally irritating to me, but people who whistle as they walk, especially those that are obnoxiously loud about it. I don’t want to hear your personal soundtrack STFU.

I usually just assume they are psychotic, and that the whistling is a warning to stay away.
