Is this normal? Steering wheel/alignment?

Is this normal? Once in a while, every morning it seems like when I drive straight my steer wheeling tends to turn hard to one side making it seem like my wheels or alignment or whatever is off. However, after couple mins of driving it always goes away.

Maybe it's just the road by your house. Does it do it if you drive the same route but with the car warm?

Yeah it's pretty strange. I don't think it's the road, I've driven on the same road with the car warmed up and everything and it doesn't do that. If it was a misalignment wouldn't my steering wheels always be uneven? Cause it seems to only do it when I first start driving the car for the day then it goes away.
