Worse than woman on the phone in an Expedition behind you (rant)...
How about the guy shaving in stop and go traffic?
I'm stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on a three lane highway (normally 55 mph), where every one tries to get up to speed, then hits the brakes. I keep seeing the guy behind me making panic stops because he's shaving while driving! You'd think the first adrenalin rush of almost rear-ending me would convince him to put down the shaver and drive. Even leaving a nice buffer zone in front of me (of course that just encourages folks to jump in front you) didn't help. The last time I'm at a complete stop and look back and this guy's comin' at me, chin up, and not slowing down. The lane next to me is starting to move and I dart in a too-small opening, wave to apologize to the person I just cut off and let someone else worry about Mr. Remington.
I don't get shaving while driving. Do these people sleep in their cars? I mean, it takes me all of 5 minutes to shave. Is it worth five minutes to have razor stubble on your shirt or in your car? Or the shaver (no doubt with a charger)? I don't keep anything in my car -- no coins, mints, pens, combs, etc. After years, they all look like they just came from the showroom. Storage is never a problem. Now my wife (don't get me started)...3 lotions, nail files, pens, mints, tissues, handi-wipes, mini-flashlight, phone, charger, coins, spare glasses -- it's a rattle fest!

I used to shave in my Camry, but I didn't use the mirror hardly at all.
Of course I EAT IN MY TT!
Why would you need to use a mirror when shaving with an electric razor? If you don't know the pattern of your own facial hair by 20 years old, just grow a beard.

Maybe you gave him a subconscious reminder - a friend of mine's first reaction to the TT....
First time he saw one, he thought there was a giant Norelco razor in his rear-view mirror !

I saw someone working out in their car the other day...
I was in light traffic, and I notice out of my peripheral vision the guy in the pick-up next to me, and his arm is going up and down, over and over again. I look over and see he has a dumbbell in his left hand. He's doing curls, and then he switches hands. All this while doing 30-40 mph on a busy 3-lane highway (US1).
I thought I'd seen it all but that one takes the cake.
