Reading in the Car
 
Ok, this might seem kinda pointless, but me and my friends were talking about it earlier today. They can't read or do work in the car for long periods of time, or else they feel sick. Personally, I can read for hours on end in the car, and it dosn't bother me in the least. So can you read/do work in the car?

I can't read in the car without getting sick. I throw up. I can't sleep in it eather...but I'm fine when I play my GB...odd...

Cute_Pikachu June 8th, 2004 6:36 PM

Nop, if I read even 3 minutes I'll feel sick, later then I'll throw up.

People are weird. I can read and write my stories in the car, no prob. Well, it's easier to read, obviously.

Timbjerr June 8th, 2004 7:37 PM

lately, I've been the one driving the car, but before I drove I could easily read for about thirty minutes, then I'd feel throw-uppy

Well, I prefer drawing over reading. I could probably draw all day and never get bored, lol. @[email protected]; But, if I had to read something... I could stand reading a magazine, as long as it's about something that I'm interested in. Books with long chapters and no pictures usually tend to bore me. I love looking at pictures, lol. I've never gotten carsick before, I just get tired of sitting somewhere for a long period of time.

I can eat in a car but not read or draw or play games.

Evil Togepi June 9th, 2004 3:15 AM

I always draw in the car ^^ When I was little the car used to make me feel sick but not these days, I love drawing on car journies X3

I've never had a problem reading, playing GBA, anything in the car...I think I only ever get carsick when I'm already sick before I'm driven somewhere. I rarely ever go on trips long enough to where I could ever get some quality reading in, but the couple of times I've brought a book with me I've been fine.

John Denver June 9th, 2004 10:40 AM

the only reason people feel sick when theyt read in the car is because in the corner of their eye they see their surroundings pass them, and that makes people queezy

If you put your hand up to your eye and make it so you can't see to the sides then you won't feel sick...

BOO ya!

Cherrim June 9th, 2004 12:16 PM

I thought it was the fact that your body is telling you that you're moving, yet your mind, concentrating on the reading material, is telling your body that it's "all fine." These conflicts make you feel sick. @[email protected] Or something like that. *can't remember*

I've only gotten carsick once... and even then, nothing bad really happened... I just felt like throwing up for a few minutes. x.o; I can normally do anything in a car, though. ^_^; It's hard to play cards, though. <_<

John Denver June 9th, 2004 12:20 PM

I don't read in the car anyways, I listen to Creed and RHCP...

BOO ya!

Sayuri no Hoshi June 9th, 2004 12:23 PM

Oh jeez, everytime I tried reading in the car as a kid, I'd feel so nauseated after a few minutes. I think it's because your head is down and all the blood rushes to it while you're jerking around in the car--going over bumps and whatnot. It's one of the most awful feelings...blech...O_o

Seoul June 9th, 2004 6:33 PM

some days I can.. some days I cant. It also depends on the vehicle. Although I do not get motion sick, once sitting in the back of a small car, I got veery nauseous. It felt revolting. ><.. it was probably a combination of small car and speedy driver and back seat and poopey food before leaving and some heat..
I typically dont read, but as of late, I have begun to read, and even doodle, on the bus.
If I pause, I can sometimes randomly notice i may feel almost kinda ill.. so in that case, i pinch a nerve I heard that can block the feeling of nausea. I dont know if it works, but the idea of 'knowing' some remmedy for it is enough i suppose.. mind ove matter type thing...

Castrainer June 9th, 2004 6:38 PM

Yeah! I Can Read Read in the car! I Can even play my GBA SP, play TCG, Draw... <_<;;
I just dont know why my eye havent jumped from my face yet XD

Igglybuddy June 10th, 2004 6:13 PM

I think it makes some people dizzy...messes up their semi-circular canals and all that. Myself, I can read, play cards, play GB(A), even sleep for a long time if I have something to lean against.

Iveechan June 11th, 2004 2:19 AM

I only recall falling asleep twice in a car. Once as a kid, I even had a half-dream, and last year when my wisdom teeth were taken out. I don't handle being put under too well.... I was all, like, walking drunkedly and nauceous and kept drifting back to sleep. And I barfed! Nothing like having the taste of vomit and blood from your gaping holes in your mouth :D

But normally on long trips I just kind of lay there with me glasses and shoes off and listent o that constant engine on those never ending highways.

Blitz~2005 June 11th, 2004 2:41 AM

i dont read so i wouldnt know

but for those who do get sick while reading there ganna have a hard time reading ROAD signd :P

lil' jose June 11th, 2004 2:44 AM

I think the reason some people feel sick in the car when they read is because they look out the window occaisionally then they get kinda sick. Well I don't do all the things that I just described or else I couldn't read in the car. BUt thats how it works for me at least

Blitz~2005 June 11th, 2004 2:47 AM

yeah well i stick with my theory of if you cant read in the car you cant read road signs whitch means you might crash :P

but thats kinda a stupid theory :P

PGN June 11th, 2004 2:58 AM

I can read in the car

~PGN, Reading in the car

Iveechan June 11th, 2004 5:22 AM

Road signs are different because you just take a quick glance at those. You don't have your head down trying to concentrate on a page of little words, you look, say "Oh a white square, it's a speed limit sign", then go your merry way.

Junichi June 11th, 2004 5:47 PM

I read in the car a lot. I even read when I drive!

Legendary_Pokegirl June 11th, 2004 5:50 PM

I can read in the car for a average of a half an hour. I then get a head ache,but I dont feel sick.

Pokemaster10000 June 11th, 2004 6:00 PM

Yes I read in the car...but I never felt like throwing up.
It only happens when my stomache feels hot and wierd. :P

But try going from New York to Florida non-stop at a rate of 50 miles per hour. XD
It's not pretty at all. :P
