Do you get car sick?

[MrDawn]

Have you ever gotten car sick before? Do you still get it every once in a while?

I often get it if I have to ride passenger or in the back seat.

Fortunately it's only happened a couple of times, otherwise I'm fine. Bad drivers, lol.

 

[Jon]

Yup, I get motion sickness. I will choose to be the driver 10/10 times to avoid the risk.

I always drive. I’m such a bad passenger. You’re talking multiple vom stops on a two hour journey.

I was fine until I learned to drive myself.

Rarely

Nah. I used to get a tad queasy when I was a kid and was looking down at something while riding passenger, but I don't recall that being much of an issue anymore. Plus, I just nap through the ride mostly.
Don't get seasick either, kinda. It's more like its rocking me to sleep than anything, and when it gets rough, I get frustrated/annoyed as opposed to sick. However, I did need to take a motion sickness pill on the first night while underway because I would be fine for the first twenty four hours or so, and then my stomach would get weird for a bit for no reason. After that, it's clean sailing. Never needed to keep taking motion sickness stuff to keep from feeling nauseous.

I've never had an issue on an airplane either.

Yes very much so. I do not ride in cars well. I can't read in a car. I can't look at my phone much in the car. I have puked in cars before. I'm the worst passenger in a car. I normally have to sit up front with the vents blowing on me and my eyes closed or staring out the side window. It has gotten worse the older I get.

I also do horribly with VR rides. I would love the Star Tours Ride at Disney or the Simpsons Ride at U iversal but I make it about half way through and have to close my eyes to keep from being sick.

The best I've been able to figure out, my type of motion sickness is when what I'm seeing does not compute with what my body is feeling. So my brain glitches and just makes me feel sick.

Also weird fact, never had morning sickness with either of my children. Apparently that is caused mostly from a reaction to a certain hormone created in pregnancy.

I normally have to sit up front with the vents blowing on me and my eyes closed or staring out the side window.

Oh interesting, mine is the opposite of this. If I look out the front window, I'm fine. If I look out the side window, I regret it within a minute. Riding on the light rail makes me nauseated because all the windows are side windows. Closing my eyes is sometimes okay and sometimes not. If I already don't feel well, it makes it worse.

I'm fine on planes and trains and boats, even little ones in rough weather. I think it's the turning a car does that causes me problems.

Nope, I used to be a daredevil behind the wheel, so that kind of movement doesn’t bother me. The absence of movement or feeling “trapped” in traffic though? Absolutely not. That all stems from ONE incident on I-95 where they had to shut down all lanes just prior to my exit because of a wreck I witnessed happen. There is nothing, and I repeat NOTHING that compares to that unavoidable urge to shit your pants when you already had to go to the bathroom before the accident happened, and got stuck waiting for medics, and then a helicopter to land in front of you, and then the police to do accident recon, and then the wreckers to remove the vehicles, and then the clean-up crew to get the loose debris and fluids out of the roadway, and then the emergency crew to FINALLY clear the scene. Yes, I turned the vehicle off and ventured to the woods with a joint. My pants remained unshat that day.
