Car list

If a man's home is his castle, his car is his kingdom.

I am now a Commuter. And in my daily commute I see people, sitting in traffic doing all sorts of things in their cars. Not the sorts of things they would do just a metre further away on the footpath walking along at the same speed as the commuting car.

Once people are in the car, they feel like they are invisible to others. Or at least the act that way. They are completely, utterly, comfortable doing what they would if they were entirely alone. Or at least just with the other people in the car with them at the time.

Below is a list of just some of the things I have seen people doing in their car. I very much doubt many of them would feel comfortable doing these things walking up the street.

Blatantly checking themselves out in the mirror
Putting on makeup
Fighting with their family
Singing (and emoting) at the top of their voice
Shaving
Picking their nose
Eating their snot
Squeezing their spots
Shouting at their kids
Moshing
Plucking their eyebrows
Reading the paper
Gesticulating at other motorists
Filing their nails
Crying
