  • In my state they ended up passing a distracted driving law that includes eating while driving. It’s a secondary enforcement law (they can’t pull you over for it).

    If you run a red light while eating a hamburger, you’ll get the primary fine (running the red light) plus another $100 fine for distracted driving.

    Why? because for some people taking a drink or a bite of a burger will make them crash. This is especially true in urban areas with a ton of things a driver needs to be aware of and react to.


  • My wife teaches Bilingual middle schoolers (spanish/english). Around 40% of the kid’s Moms are from Mexico.

    To get the kids to clean up the classroom she has a small list of school appropriate “Cleaning songs”. She never announces it or tells them to clean up. She just turns the music on 5 minutes before class ends.

    All the kids with Mexican moms, pop up and start frantically cleaning. The other kids, after a bit of confusion, follow.

    She says “I might as well take advantage of all the Pavlovian training their mothers have done.”
