Default Male golf cart drivers/riders......

What is it with some of y'all that drive/ride with your feet dangling outside the cart or knees hanging outside the carts? No clue as to what will happen to you if someone sideswipes you or you get too close to something? Hope you have good insurance and won't mind not being able to play golf/have fun for awhile........ I directed this toward men because I never see women doing that.

They are trying out for the Darwin award, winners are always announced on the evening news, and occasionally on the obituaries.

As pointed out by others, each of us has our own level of risk, theirs is obviously much higher then ours.

A lot of these guys are obese and can't completely fit behind the wheel.

It's called man spread and is causing a big problem on big city mass transit. NYC trains even have signs posted against it.

Default Hot air

I think most guys are just trying to get rid of all that hot air that gets built up in their shorts while playing golf.

I agree. My response could have been worse also.

There have been threads about this in the past. I often have to pull further over when driving my car or cart past one of these men as they do often have a foot or sometimes a good part of their leg sticking out of the golf cart.

Mrs Fox asked the same question yesterday. I told her that they must like the breeze up their shorts, but she didn't seem impressed.

When I golf with someone dangling a foot,I tell them my "I know a guy" story.Poor Al got his foot caught between a rock and the golf cart.
The good news,the rock and golf cart were not damaged.The bad news his foot and ankle needed major repair work done.After a year of rehab,he can golf but walks with a slight limp.The daily pain is not too bad but weather changes shoots up the pain level.

I haven't ever read that anyone was hurt doing this.

EVER. I am not too smart but I have a good memory.

That's a great line.

My dog Beau likes to jump up on people's laps at the dog park and sometimes tries a lap that is more like a balloon than a lap. He kind of falls off without getting any kind of perch.

Beau's a chihuahua mix of about 11 lbs.
