Stories from the USA. My mom said that when she was a little girl my grandparents used to take the kids on road trips and they would do this thing where when they got to the destination they wouldn't leave the car. Like, they would drive hours to see the monument (or whatever) and when they got there they would roll down the windows, slowly pass by the object going, "wow! Look there it is!", then they would roll up the window and drive away. This happened multiple times.
It's a fucking mystery to us. Didn't want to pay for a ticket? Savage, unmedicated ADHD? Just fucking with your children? All are totally plausible. She didn't realize it was weird until later in life.
We had visiting guests in Seattle and they were the same way, except these were free. Want to see the troll? Sure, go slow. Gas Works? Go slow by the side. So weird.
I had another friend that we drove around the peninsula. Every stop, he was on his phone and wanted to leave after 2 minutes. We're talking hours of driving to some of the most gorgeous places on earth and he's 1 minute in and looking for an exit. I still can't understand it.
My family did that stuff too! Not for every trip, but I remember us driving to South Dakota and saying "Look there are the badlands" and such and such, but never getting out. There's Devil's Tower! Then we drove on. We'd get out occasionally, but not regularly.
Oh thats cruel for devil's tower. Its cool to drive past but walking it is amazing. Badlands looked cool from the car but we were just driving past
