Driving Concerns: Vomitting

As I was driving to church yesterday I started coughing. It was one of those powerful coughs that make you feel like you might vomit. I didn’t, but I began to think about what would happen if you were driving and felt the need to vomit. I don’t like sneezing while driving as it is impossible to keep your eyes open and it just isn’t a comfortable driving activity, but that’s nothing compared to throwing up. And another thing, I don’t like typing “throwing up” or “throw up.” It just isn’t pleasant to type, or even to say. I prefer saying and typing vomit. What an interesting discovery to make in the course of typing a blog post. The whole point is that vomiting while driving can’t be a pleasant experience and I hope I never have to find out first hand just how unfavorable it is.

At this point I feel the need to type more. I could go one of two ways: other situations in which vomiting would be less desirable or other activities that don’t mesh well with driving. The first branch is easy enough; it is always less desirable to vomit than to not vomit. Even when you are in an appropriate location, such as near a toilet or outside away from people, it is still an unpleasant thing to vomit. However, I’m sure we could all agree that specifically there are times and places that would be worse. The first thing that comes to mind is being in a crowded elevator. But I really can’t get away from the fact that it is just awful to vomit and wherever or whenever it might be isn’t good, so I won’t spend any more time thinking about this one.

Other activities that you don’t want while driving is also a pretty broad topic, and one I don’t particularly care to delve into. I probably should have ended this blogging process after the first paragraph. I could have just left it alone as a quick thought and moved on. There was no need to go any further than that initial observation I made while driving. Oh well, the damage is done. I will follow this post up with another video of my friend Brandon and I dancing around our apartment for the sake of hopefully making people laugh. Look forward to it, or else!
