this picture doesn't exactly explain what i'm talking about, but this past weekend, i was out running errands and a lady almost hit me. know why? because she couldn't see me. why couldn't she see me? because she had crap stacked up on her dash - trash - magazines, letters, mail, newspapers, grocery bags,etc., all stored in her dash. when i say dash, i mean the part of the car in front of you when you are driving - the part above your steering wheel and speedometer, etc., above the radio, above the airbags. her whole dash was covered, atleast 1/3 the way up. it was a driving hazard! she didn't see me and almost hit me because of it! stupid lady. stupid clutterbug.
Can't you get fired from DOT for (repeatedly) driving w/"crap" on your dash? If so, then it ought to be a ticket for the GP...
ReplyDeleteAnd, I was reminded today that it's called "dash trash"... ;) I was teasing the former DOT employee when we were in the field today (by leaving some dash trash up there...), when we were talking about other DOT things...

From Mrs. B: Dash Trash. Love it. Or, how about the people who have an entire collection of stuffed animals in the area below the back window of the car? I never got that look.
Well, as a clutterbug, I have to say I agree. My van can be an absolute disaster but there will NEVER be anything on my dash. Rob will get in and throw his hat on the dash and I make him take it down! All I see when I look over there is the reflection of the 'A' -- obviously a Braves hat, not an Oakland hat :-) Also... does this remind you of riding with Tuter?!? She always had so much up there that you had to put your hand out to catch stuff if she took a turn too fast!
