random thoughts while driving

now i'm not sure how many of you do this, but i'm hoping i'm not the only one...

yesterday my parents and i were driving around town and, while at a stop light, we noticed the car beside us. it had two different hubcabs, one dull and plain, the other fancy and very 'bling'. beside the blinged out one was a nice sized dent in the rear bumper area.

now we don't know this person... nor will we be likely to EVER know this person, just happened to be at the same stop light... but in the few minutes that passed, we had assumed why she had different hubcaps and how she must have gotten that dent. we had construed an entire story about the condition of her car. why? who knows...

we watched her drive off and the only thing that would've been a good ending is if that blinged out hubcap flew off... it didn't.

one thing i noticed while driving to work friday was that women, not all mind you, CAN be bad drivers. i mean, i saw a woman... on the freeway... putting on mascara. MASCARA! i can see putting on lipstick, because honestly, i do that but MASCARA! the last thing anyone should do is put a pokey object anywhere NEAR their eye while. driving. a. car. ON THE FREEWAY!

how much trouble is it to put your make up on AT HOME? wake up a few minutes earlier and do it there... in the safety of your own bathroom and NOT while driving on a 70mph freeway. PLEASE!

another thing... and this truly happened to me once before... why do men think they can pick up women ANYWHERE? i was driving home one afteroon, on the same freeway as mascara girl no less, and this guy passed me up... that's fine speed your way home. then he slowed down so i could pass HIM up. these games don't amuse me, they actually freak me out. anyway, i'm driving, i pass him then he drives up beside me. evenly driving beside me and smiles. now, we're driving like 75mph here, people. i glance quickly to see if he's holding up a gun or something, he's not; however he IS motioning for me to hold up my left hand ring finger... yes indeed - picking me up at 75mph. i guess that deserves a little credit considering the location... however, how desperate can he be that his only pick up opportunity is on the freeway? i hold up my left hand, to merely humor him, my ring visable (still married at that time) and he gave me the 'aw shucks' sign and sped away.

now that i'm single - he'll never show up again. good thing too cause when he saw my ring free finger, he might rear end my car to get me to pull over and then beat me and take my belongings leaving me for dead. or he could be prince charming... it's a gamble either way.
