Driving... when I was a lot younger rofl.. I seemed to think it was okay when I was driving and the road was empty - like interstate back to college sunday nights - to put a book in my lap and spend 3 secs reading and 3 secs watching the road, over and over... Oh Lord, I really didn't think of that until this thread.. How incredibly dumb and invulnerablef we thought we were.... Of course I don't do that anymore, I grew up lol... but I still keep a book in the car and read at red lights.
Little League baseball, the coach caught me reading in the dugout while we were batting.. He didn't laugh...
Like the person that read up to going in for surgery, sure... I've read to keep myself from thinking about what I"m about to have to do... eye surgery I remember... Vaguely I think every bad, scheduled event in my life.
