You're not invisible in your car

 

I noticed a guy mindlessly picking his nose today.

He was sitting in his truck outside my office window with his cell phone to his ear. It's not the first time I've observed this behavior from someone sitting in a parked car or stopped at a stoplight.

There's not much to do in your car while waiting for the light to change? Pick your nose, put on lipstick, look in the mirror, text, check Facebook or Twitter, bite your fingernails, surf radio stations, change your CD, eat? You've only got a couple of minutes and you don't want to get so distracted that the driver behind you is forced to honk.

 

Possible {safe} alternatives to picking your nose

      1. Hands at 10 and 2 - staring straight ahead
      2. Sing
      3. Air drums on the steering wheel
      4. Watch the rear view mirror of the guy in front of you who's probably picking his nose

Either way, here's your friendy reminder that you're not invisible in your car. While you're grooming or pretending to be Phil Collins, someone in a surrounding car can see you and thinks you're funny.

That awkward moment...

I had a moment like that Friday. Someone tripped in front of me whilst picking their nose. You know how when you fall the first thing you do is look around to see who watched you fall, even before you have realized your pain? Yeah, that. We locked eyes. Awkward.

I'm sure he has read this by now and knows who he is

He probably won't do it in front of your office again. But, just think, he probably stopped at the Dairy Queen and touched the door handle with his paw. And, you went there for lunch...and now, for the rest of the story.....

I'm not picking my nose

I like the way my finger smells.

I tweeze my eyebrows. That is

I tweeze my eyebrows. That is the only time I tweeze my eyebrows. Good luck at stoplights equals messy eyebrows.
A train running through Conway, I show up at work perfectly groomed.
