This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Possible case : me. I often forget my seat belt. Fortunately, most people remind me about it and then I immediately fasten it.

The reason is simple. I think I use a car, always as a passenger, like 3 times a year. When I used to drive, it was such an automatic gesture I'd never forget it. But it's so easy to forget when it becomes very rare. Everything is hypnotizing when you enter a car. I'm glad the driver reminds me, but I could be OP's lost one.

Yup, it's on the driver to ensure everyone is belted. I do it every time, and the car doesn't move unless everyone is wearing their seatbelt properly.
