15 Problems Only People Who Can't Drive Understand

8. Feeling Horribly Redundant In An Emergency

Imagine the scenario: your partner falls down a well, or cuts some crucial body part off with a chain-saw in an unlikely work-place accident in the woods, and you're their only hope of rescue. Only you can't drive and public transport doesn't go to the well/woods, so they'll just have to call someone else who is less redundant, and maybe just remove you from their Emergency Contacts list entirely. And if you're about to become a father you'll always have to deal with the ironic impotence of having to rely on someone else to drive your partner to hospital as they're about to explode with the life you put in there.

7. Feeling Horribly Redundant When You Really Need Hangover Fast Food

Everyone has that one friend on Facebook or Twitter who spends every weekend morning pathetically asking for someone to either bring them a McDonalds breakfast or take them to a drive-thru where they can gorge on delicious trans fats and too much salt to make up for the buckets of cheap booze they poured into themselves the night before. If you're a non-driver, there's a pretty high chance that that person is you, lying in a pool of your own shame evaluating where your life has gone wrong as you fixate ridiculously on something you know is probably worse for you than just dealing with the hangover you brought on yourself.
