So I’m writing today and I decide to look up interesting road trip stories for inspiration.
I type into google “worst thing road trip”.
The first link is of course yahoo answers, which is always a bunch of baloney (amiright?) but I click anyway.
The question is “What are the worst things that can happen on a road trip?”
There are but 2 answers.
The first answer says that boredom is the worst thing that can happen, so bring a bunch of good music and audio books to entertain you, and a gps, blah blah, road trips are fun, yay, etc.
The second answer, from “Top Contributor” Patti, is this:
“You can have a wreck and die.
You can have a wreck and be hurt badly.
You can be carjacked & kidnapped & murdered.
You can have serious car trouble and not have enough money to finish the trip or get it fixed and get back home.
You can get lost in a criminal neighborhood when there are detours.
If you have kids they can fuss & fight the whole trip.
You can get stricken with diarrhea and have to stop and stay somewhere till it’s gone.”
The second answer was rated Good by 3 people, the first was rated good by only 2. Harsh reality wins.
