I know this sounds weird, but my interest is purely scientific: I have noticed that female passengers almost always leave the car's seatbelt in a humongous tangle when getting out of the car. I'm not saying it annoys me, because I'm not that kind of guy. But it has me baffled - why do you do that? It must be on purpose, because it takes a lot to get them this messed up. I couldn't do it if I tried. Can you tell me, what do you think when you leave the car? Is the seatbelt something you feel especially negative about? Do you feel "chained down" by it and relish the escape? Or is it simply something you couldn't care less about?
I always think of my seatbelt as the thing that may, one day, stand between me and the wheelchair, and I treat it with a certain "keep it in good order and get it ready for the next mission" type attitude. What's with the abandon, I'd really like to know...?
