Private things being made public- random observations

Allow me a moment.

Don't people understand that when they are in a car they are surrounded by 4 windows. You know, those things you see through. Why is it that things go on in the car, with people all around, that should only be happening in the privacy of a bathroom. Let's get it out and over with and say that any facial orifices-finger probing should not be happening as well as any pore clearing activities. Especially in bumper to bumper 4 lane highway type situations. Hey, your windows aren't that dirty!

Several years ago I would wait daily in front of a large Junior High School, with about 50 other cars parked within viewing distance, for my son to get out of school. Daily, the same woman would park, again, with the same 50 cars around her, and pluck her facial hair. For about 10-20 minutes. Every day. Every day for 10-20 minutes she would pluck facial hair. I am no mathematician but isn't that about 50 to 100 minutes a week? Every week! I can only imagine the little hairs flying around the car. Maybe she should figure out a way to donate to the follicley challenged. She seems to be a great prospect.

An older woman in our neighborhood shops on a regular basis with curlers in her hair. One day I will see her at the dry cleaners, the next the post office, three days later the grocery store. She must have an incredible night life as I have never seen her without curlers in our daily activities. The question comes to mind that if she cares enough about how she looks to put curlers in her hair then why does she go out with them on? And for what activity are they for? In my odd thought process I have decided that she dressed up for her husband each and every day at 5:15 right before he walks in the door. Maybe she really does have the right idea, of course this would be in the world I created for her.

I had a coworker who every Monday, about 15 minutes after getting to work, would then decide that his fingernails were too long and begin clipping them in his cubicle. Did they grow on the way to work? I assume he spent the weekend with them so what happened between the 72 hours he had been away from work and the 15 minutes upon arriving at work?

I was at work today and a man was talking very loudly on the phone in our lobby. I was waiting to escort a client in so stood a reasonable distance away from him as I do think myself to be a polite person. When he mentioned the 'weird porn he saw last night' and my head inadvertently turned, he gave me a dirty look, said to the person on the other end that he had to go as 'someone is listening in' Hm. Aren't I the naughty one!

I think my moment is over. Now I am guilty too- sharing my publicly private moments publicly.

  1. You haven't a clue as to how many times I have thought these exact things! People are entertaining, that's for sure.
