Poll: Is this weird or do you do this?

[PixelKing]

Sort of. I usually imagined a blue monkey swinging across lampposts and telephone poles to catch up to me.

... I get the feeling that even though you and I have the same quirk, OP, I'm still a little weirder than you.

If you knew me personally you wouldn't say you are weirder than me. Trust me

 

[Jedamethis]

Well...I'm probably going to do that now...

 

[Tulks]

Yes, it's weird and yes, I do. I'm actually a little surprised by the number of us who do this.

I'm inclined to suggest that it may be a by-product of growing up with side-scrolling video games - we're so used to seeing a sprite scrolling with the screen that we mentally project one onto the window pane. Or something.

 

[GiglameshSoulEater]

Yeah i always imagied a completely black figure leaping aside the car.

I'd challenge you to that, but I'm too tired/lazy to do so.

I'll take your word for it.

Thanks for saving my lazy ass some time.

Not too often I'm afraid, although when I do think about such stuff it's along the lines of "war of the worlds" laser beams cutting down trees and whatnot.

 

[Loop Stricken]

I was surprised the first time I found out how many people did this.

All the time, man. Useally I imigine it being Kirby or a girl on a surfboard for some reason.

For me it's normally a slender humanoid figure. I think it might be Spider-man, I dunno. It's been a while since the last time I did it. No long car rides lately, and some times I just enjoy sitting down to philosophize.

A sort of slender man, you say?

 

[Samwise137]

Yes, but it's cycling for me. I love riding my bike and when there's loads of traffic, there's nothing better than being able to crank right past it in a high gear.

 

[smearyllama]

I pretend that I'm in a Rebel ship heading towards my destination, with an escort of X-Wings around the vehicle.

 

[The Apothecarry]

I just get images in my head of whatever band I happen to be listening to at the time. Chevelle is fantastic for long car trips. Perfect driving music if you like alternative metal.

 

[Vornek]

.....does everybody do this? wow....i'm honestly shocked...Then again, I do it too, but he number of people that seems to do it surprises me.

I imagined that either a slender female with a hover-board (back to the future style) sped alongside us. either that or a guy with a light-cycle (Tron style), or a really really fast horde of zombies, or a ...i can keep doing this but i'm afraid to say the other things which my insane mind cooks up while it's bored.


I still do this, and I'm also 18.

Now I just have to overcome the challenge of making sound effects. (pew, pew, vshoom, vroom, badaboom, ra-ta-tat)
aah insanity...my closest friend.

Refer to the previous post.

[Bravo 21]

Im running parkour overtop of the building along the road, or else longboarding down the highway at 100km/h.

 

[CrashBang]

I used to imagine it a lot when I was younger, sitting in the back of my dads car, but I've never done it whilst driving... I may start now, though

 

[Vykrel]

i actually do it too. makes me feel like a badass if i can run as fast as cars lol. i imagine myself jumping over any cars at the stop signs, too. lol you are not alone, sir... and im 18

 

[Flamezdudes]

Holy shit, someone else imagines it? I imagine a being jumping from lampost to lampost along the way and on the cars etc

I really thought I was the only one who did this. Woah, what the hell... haha

 

[Easton Dark]

I have never actually done that.

Hmm. Gonna have to try it I guess. Could be funny. I'd probably imagine the being fall unexpectedly and imagine the spongebob fish screaming "My leg!" off in the distance.

I'd probably laugh at that.

 

[Napierdalac]

Normally im driving, so no. I watch the road. Im sensible like that But i do allways (when the weather is for it, i live in the cold north) stick my arm out of the window and feel the wind resistance with different hand poses. Dunno, just something to pass the time.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

At first, I thought you were insane, but then I thought about and realized that have done that in the past. Usually a stick person jumping across buildings and whatnot.


If there's music playing, I'll also look for moments when objects pass in rhythm with the song.

Kinda like this, but in a car:


And yes, it is always that perfect. Often, groups of hobos will look at me and start singing the chorus.
