putting hairspray on! YES HONEST!
Behing a 205 on the way home, a little untidy on the road but no more sloppy than is the norm. Keeps looking in the rear view mirror doing her hair. Then she gets out hairspray....I kid you not - starts putting hairspray on whilst driving. Needless to say I overtook her and put as much distance between myself and her as was possible.
P.S. I gave her the most disgusted glare I could muster and she stopped; whether because she felt ashamed or had finished I do not know.

Could have been interesting if she lit up a fag at the same time.

Recently, on my commute into work, in a traffic queue, the man driving the car behind was shaving with an electric shaver!

Would have been far more interesting if he had been using a cut throat, or it was a woman.

Thanks to the woman that Adski saw, for compounding the myth that women use their rear-views to do their hair.
I'd always thought they were purely there for make-up purposes, now I know that all I have to do is leap out of bed in the morning, get in the car and off we go. If anyone could invent a mirror that also served as a shower, this would be perfect. (or does my usual 'forget the sunroof's open and spray the windscreen' cover this as well?

I see women putting on make up in the car regularly and I used to regularly see a guy in the local back lanes on my commute to work shaving in his car.
Sadly it has become so common for me to see this sort of stupidity that it becomes a 'normal' daily occurrence along with the handheld mobile users , the apple eating , cola drinking , smoking and other non attention paying idiocy. IMO one hand off the wheel you are not in control.
We have a local tipper lorry depot where I work and their drivers are regular culprits. Also they regularly jump the red lights at the end of the road which are admittedly short , only allowing three cars through- the problem is that if they hit anybody whilst doing this and in the midst of lunch or phone call , because of their size they are not going to suffer the death or injury.

"compounding the myth"
Sounds genuine enough to me...
Why else would they put a mirror there, anyway? :-)

I mentioend in another thread a friend who was involved in a motorway accident recently. Well she was given an automatic focus as a courtesy car.
This is what she told me last week:
"It's great having an automatic. I was on the way to work yesterday and was putting my make up on while crawling in the traffic, when there was a crunch. I'd hit the car infront of me. Well this big fat greek guy got out and started gesticulating at me. I wound the window down and he leaned in.
'You just hit my car love'
'So?'
'You were putting yor effing makeup on. I saw you in my mirror!'
'Yes, I'm late for work. Do you want money. Here, I've got a tenner on me, take it'
I kid you not, that is what my friend is like. Have only ever been a passanger with her twice in 5 years, as she scares the life out of me.

You got in a car with this woman more than once????
|
First time I was a passanger with her she was turning right at a traffic light controlled junction and was in the yellow hatched box. Lights turn red, so what does she do? Continue her manouvre right? No. She stopped dead, and then gave the finger to all the cars peeping as they had to divert around her.
"well the light went red, what was I supposed to do?"

of course i mean "passenger"
