    I never understood how so many people can like driving. Whenever I have to drive, it's usually the low point of my day.

      That's the thing. They don't like driving either. They are raging most the entire time. It is either the rage is the closest they feel to a real emotion or simply fetishism about cars and driving being the thing you have to do with a car.

      I can understand enjoying driving. As in a comfortable drive in a low-density area. But traffic to me is like the opposite of that. You're forced to be in a car but not allowed to move.

          And also have to put effort into paying attention to one of the most monotonous tasks possible.

      I enjoy driving in one very particular situation and even then I have to be in the right mood. It has to be by myself, middle of the night on long straight rural highways with no one else around. Put on music or a podcast and that can be pretty nice. That only happens like twice a year though.

        Basically, driving can be pleasant, but having to drive isn't, and the former is practically nonexistent.

      It's impossible to go anywhere in most parts of the US without driving so they associate being told not to drive with being confined to their homes.
