when boredom strikes u...while behind the wheel

what do u do when u stop at the lights? yawn? pick your nose? adjust your hair?

i look at my rear view mirror (rvm). to be precise, i check out the driver/ car behind me. it is not unusual to look at the rvm. i believe some or most pple do that, however, it is what u see that might be unusual or interesting.

so i said, i check out the driver/ car behind me. as for some others, they decide to do something most of us would do, or at least try to do, at home.

here are some of what i witnessed:

1. a white collar (literally) man, like me, looked at his rvm but was wearing his tie... we were exiting a left ramp.
2. a lady driving into my rear bumper. yeah, i actually saw from my rvm a lady looked down at her lap or whatever she was looking at, while coming to a halt at the lights and the next thing i heard was "uh oh...." that came from me. i went down to check and fortunately, there was not a scratch. she got lucky that day.
3. above lady got haughty (buay kiah see) and decided to put on lipgloss or lipbalm at the next lights. dont let me bump into her again until she learnt her lesson.
4. a blondie yakking on her mobile. whats more, tailgating me!!! how scary was that?!?! i pray and pray and pray....pls dont hit my car. i want no trouble....jus a safe journey home.
5. some staring hard ahead, possibly at me through my rvm...to check if i was looking at them (they probably caught me looking at them). its funny how i look at them through my rvm, in return, they can look at me (only my eyes though).....all through my rvm. i look at u, and u look back at me. how cool is that! i'm starting to think the rvm is not jus a mirror but one that u can exchange looks. tis point is quite pointless but way before i started tis hardcore driving (hardcore driving = routine driving = driving is abt bringing me from point A to point B), the rvm in my opinion is for checking the traffic behind, i never knew or thought i'd use it to "spy" on others. hehe.
6. the most worth mentioning (as of now) is.....a spider!!!! abt the size of my palm. it was crawling from the edge of tis guy's windscreen to the top of his car (it was a white car which made it more obvious). i so wanted to tell him. instinct was to grab the newspaper, roll it & smack on that 8-legged monster but tis is no cockroach (even with cockroaches, i'd take ages to convince myself to kill it than putting it off and risk it sneak in to my room while i sleep and crawl all over me) and i is scaredy cat. and how on earth m i gonna tell him without getting down my car. no way i'm getting near that spidy. i hope the spidy din crawl on him when he gets off from his car. OMG *shudder* i mumbled to myself to stop looking at the rvm. i is obedient. all i did was wait for the lights to turn green and there i sped off.

sheesh, looking at the rear mirror can be such an adventure. i wonder what'd i spot next.
