I'm not sure which stage of my lobotomy went horribly wrong, but it has caused me to be nearly incapable of getting out of a car. For years, no, more like a decade, I've been woefully unable to get out of a car (from any door) without straining, twisting, pushing, pulling, and distorting myself in horrible ways that would make a Yoga master blush (or be proud, whichever).

Maybe I just got that question wrong on my drivers ed test, but how DO you get out of a car? Including the sub-question, how do you get out of a car with your hands full of stuff and even more stuff under your arms? That is a notably arduous task.


Ok, so I didn't get a lobotomy, but I just finished a two hour "photo shoot" of lit buttons in the dark in my car, my eyes are so tired they feel like they're bleeding, and it took me a good 20 seconds to twist and wrench myself out of that darn car seat to a full standing position. No replies necessary, I just felt like mentioning this.
