driving dirty
this morning while i was driving to my university to put in the study time at the library, i saw some thing totally bizarre in the car next to me. there was a man driving a two door ford festiva. the inside of the car was totally filled with aluminum cans, plastic bottles, ice cream containers, various other bits of rubbish, and plenty more i am sure, as this i could only view through the window. the pile of filth was stacked above and beyond the windows. you could not see in or out of the rear window for all the cans. the passenger seat was completely stacked up as well. and from what i can tell, the only free space that was available inside the car was the drivers seat. it was actually a disgusting sight to look at. i am not sure what the man's plans were, but it looked as if the collection of garbage had been there for some time.
this brought me to thinking of the most dirty cars i have ever been inside. in my life, i have been in quite a few. the typical filth is the left over food wrapers and empty drink bottles. one time in particular when i was young, i distinctly remember the smell of week old bologna coming from the back seat of another family's car. that was fairly repulsive. i have seen cars with mould growing from the spills, and other cars that have never been cleaned out. i am not one to go washing my car all that often, i let the rain do that. i will give it a vacuum only occasionally, when there is excessive dirt, sometimes water after a heavy rain, or too much beach sand (which happens to be the case most often). but to pile up the filth from food refuse over time. i just can't live like that. it is a dirty environment, and not one i can tolerate for myself.
if that guy's car was that bad, one can only imagine his house?
