I've been working here for about six months now. Prior to that, since I hadn't worked often in the prior year and a half, I hadn't been driving during the morning rush hour.

This morning, I finally saw and experienced something I haven't seen in a while.

A woman, applying makeup, while driving in the left lane of a 3 lane road (Higgins - 6-lanes divided), going under the speed limit and causing all kinds of traffic disruption. Not only was she was applying mascara while driving (and I'm not sure if she actually had both hands on the wheel during this), but she was also smoking.

She was an accident waiting to happen. When she finally pulled-up behind me at a light (after I had to blow her away after being behind her), she had to finish the eyes, move on to lipstick application, and oh, get rid of the cigarette.

When she finally was finished, she passed me, so she had no idea about how slow she was going. Oh, and not to be mean or anything (but I will anyway) - the makeup didn't help the look.

I get so pissed off at any driver that is just not aware of the traffic around them or that their actions are causing problems for other drivers. Just another one of my Pet Peeves...
