Writing this out right now feels unreal, I didn’t know this was a thing i would experience.

For context, my roommate is really into the muppets, and has a lot of puppets and figures around the house and their car. That’s not the problem at all though, in fact, it’s quite charming to see them make up little characters and do fun voices. Hobbies are harmless and I would never tell anyone what they can and cannot do.

However, during a (roughly) thirty minute drive back home, they pull a puppet out and start practicing a little frog voice. One hand on the wheel, other inside the puppet.

They continue driving and doing voices, constantly taking their hands off the wheel and swerving slightly on the road to play with this frog puppet that came out of nowhere. I understood having hobbies with you at all times in case you have a moment of free time, but while driving??

Would this not be distracted driving?? Am I being extremely dramatic?? They say they’ve been doing this for weeks “just to get some extra practice in”
I’m just confused as to why someone would feel the need to do it so often, even in the car on the road.

Am i weird for wanting to say something?? Like, They weren’t paying attention to the road at all, and honestly didn’t seem to think it was a big deal at ALL. Any insight on this at all???

(I had to sneak a picture of the puppet i was talking about for context)
