I was scrolling through the Connecticut Reddit page when I stumbled across one of my all-time biggest pet peeves: a human being—an American driver—cruising around with their tremendous, bare hoof dangling out the window while operating a motor vehicle.

u/DarkAngel319 posted the shot on Monday (9/29/25) with the caption: “Spotted on 384. How do you even drive like this?”

I dislike this move so much, I don’t even know where to begin. First off, I can’t stand when people treat driving like it’s lounge time. You’re in control of a two-ton metal death machine—how relaxed do you really need to be? But the bigger issue here doesn’t even involve the car. It’s about people who feel the need to subject the rest of us to their bare feet (especially dudes). Who exactly told you the public wanted front-row tickets to your toes?

Take this other example: a YouTube clip/pic of another driver with their foot hanging out the window.

Look closely and you’ll see their toes leaning away from one another like strangers on a crowded bus. Disgusting. Can we all agree to keep our clothes on and our limbs inside the vehicle? Put your paw away, farm animal.

And seriously, how sweaty are your feet that you need to air-dry them at 70 mph? Maybe schedule an appointment with a podiatrist and ask why your nuclear-reactor foot can’t stop generating shoe-melting levels of heat. Also, what’s the point of cooling down just one foot? What’s the other set of piggies doing, dog?

I loathe this in every way possible.

Here are some of my favorite responses to the Connecticut foot post:

merryone2k: "Guess it’s a Jeep thing."

malapple: "That’s it. I’m installing an air horn."

Huge_District366: "Tiny ass pinky toe."

jeffgoldbloomfield: "You know that foot smell crazy."

Did a White Plains Researcher Get Too Close to the Truth About UFOs?

Leon Davidson of White Plains, NY, had a résumé packed with top-level science work — from IBM and Union Carbide to atomic research and sci-fi writing. But when he turned his focus to UFOs, what followed was a strange paper trail that linked him to the CIA, classified communications, and government efforts to shut him down. The story you're about to see reveals what those efforts looked like — and why they may have gone to such great lengths.
