“REAR SEAT REMINDER

tells you to look in your rear seat before exiting your vehicle under certain conditions. This feature is activated by opening and closing a second-row rear door just before or during vehicle use.

For example, if you open a rear door to put something into the rear seat and then drive to your destination, your vehicle will alert you with a Driver Information Center (DIC) message and audible chimes to remind you that you put something in the rear seat.”

GM Rear Seat Reminder Fail

“Something in the rear seat….” — like children?!? Hmmm, GM Rear Seat Reminder Fail, eh?

People that dumb should not be driving.

And we’re not even going to get into why GM calls this the “DIC” feature!

Also acknowledgement of this oft-quoted comment by Ricky Gervais:

“Remember, when you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It is only painful for others.
The same applies when you are stupid.”

 There’s this blast from the past comic skit by Gilda Radner and Candice Bergen on the topic, worth laughing at: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xraGc-O4xig

In awarding this Citabration, the Molière team wonders whether the WARNING label should be affixed to stupid people, so the rest of us can avoid them. ?
