Driving Me Crazy

I feel like I’ve been driving more than usual lately and on a couple of recent trips I've found myself thinking about some of the odd scenarios that play over and over in my head whenever I’m on the road. I often catch myself daydreaming and upon reflection, noticed that many of my daydreams are reoccurring and their content is highly dependant on the day part that I drive during.

Here are scenarios that I often think about while driving in daylight:

• I pull over to help a stranded motorist change a tire and when they pull away (after thanking me profusely for my assistance) I discover that my car isn’t working. No one stops to help me and I’m stuck on the side of the road. For the record: I don’t usually pull over to help people on the interstate because I don’t want to be murdered
• After noticing something odd lying in a wooded area along the side of a highway, I pull over to discover the dead body of someone who has been missing for a long time. I wonder why no one else has noticed and call the police.
• After spotting something odd along the roadside, I pull over to discover that someone has abandoned a baby on the side of the road. The baby is unharmed. I call the police and end up taking care of it until a suitable home is found.
• I’m itching my eye while driving and the car in front of me stops short. I don’t notice it in time and end up hitting them and poking out my own eye. Imagine the odd timing that would be involved. I wonder if it’s actually ever happened.

Scenarios that I often think about while driving at night:

• A small woodland creature jumps out in front of my car and causes an accident. Note: For some reason I don’t picture hitting actual animals, but rather cartoon animals, with the lovable bunny Thumper from Disney’s “Bambi” landing at the top of the list. It’s weird, I know
• A stranger in distress jumps in front of my car and ultimately kills me. Yes, he has a hook for a hand and I do know that this is an urban legend. I still think about it.
  

If anyone knows what any of these daydreams mean, I’d like to know. Just don’t call to tell me about it while I’m driving…I’ve got other things on my mind.
