Tunnel wash rant - Free speech thread

[Optimus Grime]

Our instant gratification society, if it can't get done in 2 minutes then they aren't gonna even try

I don’t buy it anymore when people tell me they don’t have time to hand wash their cars. It’s pure loopidity to use your term. I pass by an automatic wash on my way to gym and this morning the cars were almost lined up into the street, which has happened before. Some of those people are going to be there over an hour just waiting to get their car “detailed”. In that time you can get a really good hand wash and in half the time you can do a quick rinseless with better results. They just have an aversion to physical labor. I pay for a lot of things but I’ll never pay someone to repeatedly damage my property.

I guess the hour they are sitting there they catch up on their social media and eat breakfast and put on makeup so they consider it time well spent

I was stopped at a T turning left yesterday and a lady pulled in the right lane to turn

She had a big plastic bowl of what looked like cereal in her left hand and was eating with her right hand

She stopped eating long enough to turn when she got a break in traffic

I just sat there wondering why my insurance rates are so $&@!?/;” high

She probably was busy patting herself on the back for multitasking

Yep aversion to physical activity is the norm these days. I'm no athlete and I never liked the gym, but I do try to make effort to move my body. Today I didn't even get near a car, I walked to where I wanted to go,4 miles, every other day before dawn. My doctor tells me I'm in better shape than last year. I attribute it to consistent walking

It's really not difficult to do and if I do it I don't see why someone who dislikes being overweight and unhealthy can't

When did this turn into a “Get off my lawn!” Thread? 😂

[Bill D]

I haven't gotten to that point largely because there isn't a lot of pedestrian traffic in my neighborhood

Feel free to go back to discussing tunnel washes.

‘The unlimited wash is so convenient! I pay $30/mo and can use it eVeRyDAy!’

Did this one a couple months ago.

Even if someone isn't the least bit into cars I don't understand how that doesn't bother them. Luckily around here in the real world I rarely see paint that trashed I think it's due to there being more touchless car washes in this area.

I work hard for my money and buying a car is a huge expense and I’d like to keep it looking good for as long as I can. Other people just view cars as an appliance to get from A to B.

[Bill D]

Most people treat it like an appliance and so many are in debt with car payments. You'd think they'd want it looking nice but so many don't upkeep their homes either so it shouldn't be a surprise.

I wish we could all just get along--is this a tunnel wash we can all agree on?
