Funny things you've seen in traffic?

I see alot of women putting on makeup every day. I would like to pull in front of them and slam on the brakes. After they rearend me, get out and take a pic of their mascara brush that has impaled their eye ball.

The craziest think I ever saw was a guy treating his body like an amusement park while sitting in traffic on the I-10.

 

Saw one of those fishes, but instead of Darwin inside, it said gefilte.

 

Two words for ya ... train horn.

 

The strangest thing I've seen in traffic: An obviously homemade sign that was spelled correctly, no apostrophe before the S in plural words, and no random quotation marks around words.

 

This was many years ago so my memory of the event may be a bit sketchy but it was so unusual it stood out: a car ahead of me in downtown traffic driven so impeccably I felt no need to swear at its driver for well over three blocks.

 

Probably a visiting Canadian

 

A few years back I was coming up to a red light on a multi lane expressway and noticed that the car ahead in my lane at the red light was empty. It must have broken down and didn't have any flashers on or a driver. I moved over one lane and waited at the red. While waiting a car pulled up right behind the empty car. When the light turned green and I pulled away I could hear that person honking at the empty car. It still makes me laugh.

 

Yes, well, I had occasion to ride with a Canadian recently (October), for several hundred miles.

Yes, a good driver. A fast driver.

Poor Rudy. I doubt he'd ever been driven so fast....

 

Really? Good thing I wasn't driving fast.

I've never owned a vehicle I didn't know the top speed of. Tricycle, little red wagon, bicycle, Mom's poor Honda, motorcycle, Prius.....

You should have seen the look on the guy's face at the bike shop when I asked for a speedometer with 3 digits.

 

Hey, I'm noting that all this fun seems to happen west of the Mississippi, especially on the west coast and Canada. My conclusion: easterners (is that a word?) are way too straight-faced stuffy to have any fun!

The funniest thing I saw was an activity in the backseat of a car traveling on the interstate. The Seinfeld expression applied, "...If the car's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin!" At least, that's what I think I saw. Did I say all that correctly without going into detail?

 

Yes, it sounds like we need more East Coast stories.

At a stop light, notice a woman with sun visor down and applying mascara. Light changes, the other lane moves, she sits. I blow the horn, she flips me off and finally moves.

She moves over to a turning lane, still applying mascara, swerving all over the road, speed up and down. I pull up beside her and start smiling at her still attempting to apply the mascara and she flips me off a second time.

 

Yes, she actually was a nice looking girl. Much younger than me

Made it almost enjoyable. If you are going to get flipped off, might as well be a good looking woman.

 

Which one was steering?

:_>

 

Richard, There was a seperate driver. That's what's funny about it. I suppose it could have been a "house of ill-repute" on wheels.

 

Most interesting accident I've witnessed: Two lane road (one for each direction). Line of cars at traffic light. One guy thinks he's clever, saves time by going in the other lane, passing all of us suckers. Takes a right-hand turn just as light turns green, gets passenger door plowed into. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. While his car was pulled over I gave my contact info to the driver who did the plowing, offering to be a witness (he never contacted me). I don't think Clever Guy saved any time.

 

I saw a guy in a new BMW incessantly picking his nose after work ~ 5:30pm.
