Merkins are very lazy.

The only reference I can find on google is:
"On some cars the shoulder straps of the front seat belts automatically move out of the
way when you open the doors and then move back to their normal position when the doors
are closed. Do not attempt to move the mechanism of these seatbelts yourself as you may
damage it."

What does it mean "out of the way"? I've never known my fixed seatbelt get in the way.

You're probably not a fat porker, like most Merkins or that fat ****,

The trick is to drive a car that you bought back in the 50's. Then you
don't have to wear seat belts!
