It's the "they don't even think about it" part that makes me feel this way.
With cars, it just leads to wasted space and resources.
Working in a hospital, that same thinking leads to Dialysis, Metabolic Disease and amputations. I see it multiple times per day.
Often intelligent people, but acting moronic. Not using their intelligence. That's quite apparent in SUVs. They cost a fortune, so it's usually not stupidity. It's just them being mindless. And without a second thought about others.
I stand by my choice of words.
Sometimes, yeah, an SUV makes sense. Then again, driving it into a congested city, that doesn't make sense.
If I saw someone driving it through a mountainous region, I wouldn't say anything. That's fine. :)
