Driving home from work on the freeway - speed limit 80kph, a lady driving an older model Volvo had both hands playing with her long hair. She was teasing it out and upwards, both hands at the same time, 80kph.
This went on for at least 3 km while I was behind her. No hands on the steering wheel, occasionally veering slightly to the right.
I reverse park my car into my car bay and can not open the rear door because the car (a large 4wd) in the other bay is too close. She is in the car readying herself to leave. I stand at the back of my car waiting for her to go. She winds down the passenger window and enquires, "Are you okay"?
"I am waiting for you to move so I can open my rear door"
"You have parked too close" she replies.
"No, you are a foot over the line"
She gets out of her car and has a look.
She looks at me, says nothing and gets back in her car.
It is another 30 seconds before she drives off.
One of the people I work with is starting to lose the plot. He often calls everyone else lazy. He comes to work in a sombre mood and this only deteriorates as the day progresses.
He never helps out, just does his own thing, making as much noise as possible.
We all agree that his demeaner is not conducive to a vibrant workplace.
Yes, he has problems on the home front but does not want to talk about it.
I am wondering how much longer he will last.
Sitting here at home I hear Mr Whippy van slowly passing by.
