bumps in the car

I think it is known, by now, that I hate bumps and rattles and noises and odd smells in the car.  In my book, a car should run with no issues.  Yes, all cars are machines that break and need maintenance, and I get that.  But, I just don't like it when things are out of the ordinary.

There is a sound in the trunk of Steve's car that is beyond annoying, and it has been there for years!  So, I guess that at this point it IS an ordinary sound.  So, what is this sound, you ask?

...water bottles!

I promise that I did not pose this picture.  I took this picture before I loaded the trunk with groceries.

When you stop suddenly, you hear: clunk, clunk, clunk.  When you turn the corner, you hear: clunk, clunk, clunk.  Annoying!

Steve will drink an entire bottle + on a flight, especially a trans-con.  I bet the bottles in the picture were the leftovers of the +1.  Why he brings them into the car?  Why not just dump the remaining water and recycle the plastic in the airport?  Who the heck knows.  Really, there is no reason I need to know how much water Steve drinks on any given flight.  But, with these remnants around, I do...and now, you do too.

I think I was the one to toss these three bottles (recycled, of course!).  Maybe I should play a game, and see how many of the bottle accumulate in the trunk...
