One time I was driving on the freeway at 100 km an hour, there was a lady tailgating me no more than 3 meters? behind me. Not so bad you say, well not good, but what was she doing?
She was "Painting" her face with a brush. 100 km/h - 3 meters behind the car in front, "Putting on her face".
She spent more time looking in the mirror than in front of her. I slowed down to 95, she got closer before backing off.
Freeway was coming to an end and there were traffic lights up ahead, I took my foot off the accelerator and slowed right down, 300 meters from the lights.
She pulled out into the left lane and we were side by side at the lights. I said to her, " That was really dangerous what you were doing"
She gave me the finger and said, "Get out of the fu*king right lane and let me pass you moron"

I don't see her as stupid. She was self absorbed and behaving dangerously but you don't know her IQ or why she was putting her makeup on in the car.

Don't mean to offend but I don't judge people because of things like this or label anyone. It doesn't solve the problem. She needs some kind of help or counseling to manage her time better so she would have the time to do her face at home, where it should be done, and drive responsibly when out on the road. We're too quick to label people these days. That's all. Don't come after me.

"Stupid" is much too kind a word for someone like that. She's beyond stupid.
She doesn't need "help;" she needs to lose her driver's license.
 
On one of the freeways in California I saw a guy holding a sheaf of papers on his steering wheel, wonder how many times he managed to do that without ending up in a nasty accident. Another guy had his lap top open in the passenger seat scared me. Then in NM heading into Albuquerque the guy beside us was busily combing his pompadour.
 
A blonde and a brunette worked in a factory. The brunette says, "I know how to get some time off from work!" "How?" asks the blonde. "Watch this," says the brunette. She climbs up to the rafter and hangs upside down. The boss walks in, sees her and says, "What on earth are you doing?" "I'm a light bulb," she answers. "I think you need some time off," says the boss, so she jumps down and walks out. The blonde starts walking out, too. "Where do you think you're going?" says the boss. The blonde replies, "I can't work in the dark!"
