The running man outside the car window

So, ever since I could remember, every time I look out the window while riding in a car, I envision a little man running along side the car, dodging and jumping over cars and obstacles.

Sometimes it's Sonic the Hedgehog.

Is that just me? Is that normal?

    BRO I do that all the time when I'm driving through the woods. Plenty of trees and logs to zip past.

    I seem to remember imagining a character or doing the running jump with my fingers over the dotted yellow lines in the road. But more recently, I'll catch myself sort of tapping my foot as if I were jumping over the dotted lines in the road.

    It just occurred to me while I was reading these stories that this may be a one-time generational thing that only affected kids in the 80's and early 90's due to the sheer number of side scrolling platformers that we all played. There's a good chance that this 'phenomenon' may never occur again, thanks to 3rd person shooters.

    I used to imagine more complex things. I used to imagine a robot called "Chaos" and a robot called "Order". Chaos would break things and stuff, then order would fix it all. They used to make hover boards out of signs and electrical wires and stuff like that.
    I used to imagine tons of things like that, like skateboarders or sonic the hedgehog.
    It was fun!
