I know as soon as I see one my eyes are on it and I'll drive up next to them but I could just be overexcited.
I used to laugh at how few people look around themselves on the road and see what's going on...

I got in trouble (not really but I felt bad) because of that observation one time.

I was riding passenger side with a friend and I said no one looks around themselves. I could be pointing a gun at them and they wouldn't have a clue...

So I say, "Watch, I'm gonna point my finger at the next car we pass and pull the trigger like it's a gun".

So we pull up to the next car and I do my thing, and a black lady looks right at me as I pretend pull my trigger...

She had to think me a crazy racist or something.

The ONE time out of two hundred previous cars that someone looks over.

If you like a little hed, I guess it's better to be a hedonist than a hedist....

Especially when they're busy looking at their phones. I usually have my gf take a pic of them and upload to http://www.twitspotting.com/

Personally those people who don't notice their surroundings are either daydreaming or not very aware of their surroundings, both signs of bad driving habits. I always know where the cars surrounding me are. I frequently scan my mirrors to see what cars are around me. It's a habit I'm use to and I think is helpful to always know what is going on around you. Constantly scanning the mirrors and cars around me helps me see some nice cars on the road also.

Same, and almost never go through a green light without still checking both ways first. Wayyy too many people texting/instagramming etc while driving. When stopped at a red light I'm still looking in my rearview waiting for some ahole to plow into me so I could move out of the way before it happens.

I was pulling out of a parking lot on Sunday as a WRX was coming in. He gave me a wave.

You have some serious deep rooted issues my friend. I'm no psycholgist, but breaking down that post of yours makes it sound like you have difficulties in determining right and wrong. Not to mention an in-ability to cope with extreme emotions.

How in the hell does that post equate to deep rooted issues???? in any way whatsoever????

I was attempting to demonstrate peoples lack of situational awareness...that's all...Circumstances just worked out to be a little weird and made me feel bad...

Wow... the arm chair psychologists

To prove your point that no one pays attention, you automatically pretend you are going to shoot someone. Okay Mr. Psychology Degree, in a psychological profiling questionaire where would that put you?

And the fact that you didn't take a criticism very well and had to point out you had a psychology degree.... Yup me too. Further reinforces my belief that you have trouble in dealing with emotions.

I don't get waves back often and get spotted well, never. But I do break necks so there's that.

The comment that I MADE to my friend was "these people don't pay any attention to what's going on around them, someone could be pointing a gun at them and they wouldn't have a clue"....

That was the only reason that I did the gun motion with my hand...because the context of the statement was referring to that...
