Default The weirdest thing at traffic lights?

OK, so I have seen people having a swig from a bottle (water of course) while they wait at traffic lights and have even done it myself from time to time. I have occasionally seen people combing their hair and putting on the lippie. Today I saw a woman curling her eyelashes!!!

What odd things have you seen being done at traffic lights? (keep it clean please)

Good grief your mind is in the gutter...I think I love you.

The Singapore Taxi Uncle is a strange breed, known for having no shame in conducting the most intimate of rituals in public, but the worst thing I saw was on a bus there. Not content with clipping his nails, one guy then got out his tweezers and extracted a few nasal hairs.

She was completely focused on the mirror in the visor!

I saw a woman turn round, lean back and clip a kid round the ear whilst looking at though the end of the tether had been reached about six weeks previous

I've done that! lol! Infact I would prob be that woman who'd stop the car in a totally stupid place just to get out and separate 2 fighting children from killing each other (has been done.. my son and his best friend!).. people walking past thought I was a looney.. prob am!

I've seen people talking on the phone (much the norm), yep seen people shaving.. (my father used to all the time whilst he was driving.. he is old skool!).. writing down stuff... applying makeup.. prob me at some stage or another..

Really?! I do think I (and friends and co) are terrible drivers!

Em x

Why do they do that??

I always think should I actually be going yet or is there something they know that I don't
