Sorry, no pic....drove past too quickly.
no, women do not think this is ok. what the hell.. are you sure it was a curling iron? unless she has something to plug it into her car i don't see how the thing would stay hot.

Oh, come on, mosh, haven't you seen those Ronco butane powered curling wands? You know the same folks that brought us such last minute Christmas joys like the inside-the-eggshell egg scrambler, the Bopeal Pocket Fisherman, the Yarn Buddy, etc.
:)

Yeah, the scary drivers are the ones looking for that next CD whether it's in a CD wallet or on the floor.
cha cha cha chia!

My girlfriends Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix comes with a 110v outlet built in.

Heck my brother added a power invert to his 80's Ford LTD wagon so he could run christmas lights and whatever else he wanted. High School.

My cousin used to eat, talk on her cell phone and drive at the same time.

Food on one hand
Cell phone in the other
Drive with her knee

LOL.

I'm sorry, but taking a picture of another car while driving isn't too safe. If you would have posted a pic that would have been classic.

I'd like to see the video of him crashing into a pole while pointing and taking a picture of the other driver.

Dude had shaving cream on and everything. How is showing up with a patchy shave job, scabs, and stains on your shirt and pants better than a little stubble?

On a side note, I had two women come into my lane and force their way in without a turn signal, almost like they expected me to know they wanted to come into the lane :confused:

One was in a situation where up ahead the lane ended, I had no problem letting her in, but at the rate she was going, I couldn't tell who she wanted to get infront of - me or the guy infront. She forced her way in... all she had to do was use a turn signal.

yeh, i imagine she had to have a power source, still i can't imagine attempting to drive and use a curling iron at the same time. OP should've got her plate number and reported her.

On my way to work this morning, this lady in front of me was putting on make-up while driving, and swerving between two lanes. After she almost hit the guy next to her I decided it was time to pass her.

I've never seen anything worse than a cellphone on my drives. I drive on the highway every weekday morning, and most people are actually semi-concentrating on the drive.
