Crazy Things People Do In Traffic - Part One

While driving I am always amazed at what people do sitting in a traffic jam, sitting at a stop light, or even while going 70 MPH on an interstate highway.  Today multi-tasking has risen to new levels and for some reason people feel that absolutely anything can be done while driving in traffic. 

Some people seem to think they are all alone and totally invisible on the road.  Idiots have been seen driving on the highway, reading a book at night, with the dome light on. Accidents have dramatically increased since cell phones became inexpensive so everyone has one attached to their hand and head.  Some states have banned holding a phone and talking, you must use it with "hands-free" to talk.  But talking and texting on their phone is not the only stupid thing people do, sometimes they go much further.

Throughout the years I have seen people having a “Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky moment” while driving and another time I saw a couple having going to it in the back seat while another couple chauffeured.  But one of the funniest was when I was innocently driving home after a long business day in downtown Atlanta.

I made the mistake of having an appointment downtown on a Friday summer afternoon.  I know better than to do that as it will take me forever to get home, because of our well known traffic.  But, a client needed to see me and that was the only time he had before he went on vacation.  Atlanta traffic is at its worst on Friday afternoon, as everyone heads to the various lakes we have within an hour or two (except of course on Friday afternoons) of our city.  Most people change clothes at the office so they can be ready to get on their boat immediately when they finally get to the lake.  Others will  change their clothes as soon as they get to the lake.

At least one, I happened to witness, must have been late and didn’t want to obviously loose time changing at the office or change once she at the lake.  I swear, this actually happened as I was sitting in traffic on Interstate I-75 at about 5 PM on a sunny warm summer afternoon. 

I was behind a young strikingly  beautiful woman in a white Mercedes.  She had the sun roof open and her long beautiful blonde hair blowing in the summer breeze.  To obviously get her into the mood, she had her stereo blasting with beach music.  She was singing and dancing in her seat, during her “TGIF” drive.  She was a happy lady!

As I was sitting in a typical Atlanta traffic jam, I was upset with how slow traffic was moving, when I couldn’t believe my eyes. Blondie had obviously decided to change clothes from her business suit to a bikini suit before she got to the lake.  I was amazed she thought she could do it without drawing attention of others, but she did.  Did I mention she was blonde, ah yes I did.

I was finally moving along at the speed limit right behind her car, so I had a great seat.  With absolutely nothing else to do, I just kept up behind her and to see what played out.  Traffic quickly slowed down to stop and go.  Watching her drive and disrobe was fascinating to watch as I innocently drove home.  Now I ‘m sure I mentioned she was blonde.

First, this young beauty attempted to put her bikini top on as she was driving.  She took her navy blue suit coat off and threw it in the back seat. She was wearing a billowy white blouse, so it was easy for her to take her bra off and flip it with the suit coat.  It was equally easy for her to put her swim top on under her blouse.  I just laughed to myself as I sat there.  Now, with her bikini top on, she then must have decided to slip out of her blouse, so she could get some sun.
