Windshields
Why is it that people think they are invisible when inside their cars? Don't get me wrong I spend half my time driving looking like a gurning idiot. The rest of the time I just look like an idiot.

I was sitting at some traffic lights and I noticed that the car behind me belonged to a friend of mine. I notice him drumming out one hell of a rhythm on his steering wheel complete with fills and everything, it truly was a thing of beauty, Ginger Baker would have been proud. A few minutes later I get home and send him a text asking about his drumming and receive the response "People can see me doing that?". Of course they can you flamingo-ing idiot, you're sitting behind a big ass pane of glass!

Another spell of sitting at traffic lights resulted in one of the most endearing moments of parenting I'd ever seen. Waiting behind a Blue Vauxhall Astra containing a father and son. Father is clearly investigating the contents of his nose with an impressive level of vigour and after a few seconds strikes gold. I then see him inspecting it in some detail and is clearly impressed with his efforts, I could tell then and there he felt he'd earnt his pasty at lunchtime after that find. He then does something truly wonderous and reaches over and rubs it on the back of the head of his offspring who then feels the back of his head and... the lights went green, we part in different directions and I never got to see what happened :(
