Ok......I'm really starting to get Florida Man vibes every time I read a Texas Woman headline.....

edit: I feel really bad getting 100 up votes and not being completely honest....I was actually married to Texas Woman for 10 years. Sorry for letting you all down. ( I will never say y'all bc of Texas Woman 😢)

Like the Texas Woman who drove in the HOV lane while pregnant, twice.

Hey! I actually liked that one, she was trying to prove a point. She actually got her first ticket thrown out.

They're gonna keep throwing that one out. Lest they be forced to defend their position of 'life begins at conception'. They're basically telling pregnant women to drive in the HOV lane for free.

Well, not free. They still have to go through the hassle of getting the ticket dismissed.

Only one seat in the car was in use.

Carpool lane signs and laws only specify multiple occupants, not multiple seats.

They could easily adjust the wording of the laws to get around the “when does life begin” argument, was my point

Same, you can’t argue every pregnancy has human rights that supersede the mothers health or the right to choose where it’s viable or not and then pick and choose when it’s inconvenient for the law.

I think Texas passed or is trying to pass a law saying pregnant women can use the hov lane.

What? The food was the best part of living in Florida!?

I haven’t actually spent much time in Florida, that’s just what I told a Texan I dated. He would be so offended when I called Texas “big Florida”, but when I added in “with better food”, he accepted it. Also I just love barbecue :)

Haha that’s very fair. Living in Fl was a terrible experience for me, the Cuban and Caribbean food were the only saving graces. We did live in San Antonio when I was little though, and my few memories from then all involve delicious warm tortillas.

…I like food. Lol
