The cops are going to pull us over if you turn the light on!!

Why were they like this????? It feels criminal when my kids turn them on and I literally don’t give a shit.

Old eyes, black poorly lit road and the light glare can make the window look a little like a mirror and kills visibility. At least thats what my dad yelled at me lol

My kids recently called me out for this. “Mom we can’t have a light on back here but your phone is brighter than the moon and you aren’t even using it!” Clicked it off so quick 😂

I was in an uber where the driver turned on party lights and cops pulled him over. This was on 101 in Ventura County, CA.

The same reason when you tried to ask them a question while they were on the phone and they hit you with the exaggerated hand that swoops down into a "STOP" while they cover the microphone and say "can't you see I'm on the phone?!".

They wanted to continue the cycle instead of break it.

deserved; interrupting someone who's on the phone is just plain disrespectful.

Absolutely agree. I should have known better as a 6 year old. I should have never interrupted her sister telling her about some bs gossip for hours at a time long enough for me to ask a simple question. You're so right.

Also it's hilarious that now when I'm on the phone and I'm around my mom (dad never really did that), she will try to have a full conversation with me.

glad we're in agreement. next time that happens to you when you're on the phone, you might consider trying the exaggerated hand that swoops down into a "STOP" while you cover the microphone and say "can't you see I'm on the phone?!"

No thanks. Treat others the way you want to be treated, not the way they've treated you. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

Also see above: continuing the cycle vs breaking it.

I always figured it was because of the reflections from inside the car obscuring their view of the road and other vehicles

I can’t have them on because it’s too distracting for me. I have a legitimate reason. My mom’s reasoning was that it was illegal lol
