Ignite the fire

Everyday, in the morning, in addition to many other times throughout the day, I cross five lanes of road. Sometimes I run, sometimes I walk, sometimes I need to take a little break in the middle because cars are coming. But that's not the issue right now. So, as I had no issues to write about yesterday, today is when I realized I just don't get some people.

First off, you can turn on your car when you're not even there yet. I mean, you can ignite the engine without the key, just by remote, from meters or more away! I don't get that. I mean, why would you need to start the car when you're not there yet. That's just ridiculous. I don't get why people have to have their cars on all the time. It's part of the experience, sweating like crazy, or freezing your a** off when you just get in your car. It's part of the experience!!!
Second, I don't get how every morning when I walk to school, not destroying the environment, not owning a car that would do it, not doing any of that crap, but then there are a couple of people, about 5-10 each day, that sit on the stretch of road I walk along and have their cars on, are on the phone, just hanging out and waiting, putting on makeup, reading, or listening to music. While their car is on. So... you don't care about other people, is what you're saying? Or is what you're saying you care so much more about yourself than the environment? No matter how you argue this, it's not acceptable to leave your car running.

And I always bug my friends about that when they keep it running and we're just sitting around and talking. You're wasting fuel, you're using up your car, you're causing harm! Yet no one here really cares enough when they do this. And so many people do this!!
