I've been driving around a lot lately, it seems. And with this wintry weather, it gets dark much earlier than it might in July or August.
Thus, drivers have their headlights on.
I do appreciate that they have their headlights on. I am mildly irritated when their brights flash in my eyes, but still, overall, I think they're a good idea.
Weirdly, though, it seems like the headlights have major personalities. I've always thought the round ones, like on the old VW bugs, were cute and kind of fun looking. Like they're looking at me and saying, "I'm having a good time!"
But I just saw some headlights that looked like narrowed eyes. That's not pretty. Some on the SUVs seem like they're looking down their nose at me. I guess it's better than having them looking up my nose, but what's the real issue here?
There are two. First, headlights really do seem like the eyes of a car. Second, what if they start watching me?
