Personal Note
Now that I'm a driver (I still get excited writing that I CAN DRIVE!!) I spend a lot of my time in cars. I always try and arrive on time for appointments so I spend a few minutes waiting in my car. Sometimes I'm so early that it can be up to 15-20 minutes waiting.
It's times like these that I like to pretend that I'm a cop during a stakeout.
I watch a lot of Law & Order and Dexter ok? Sorry.
To get in the right mindframe, I slump down low in my seat and watch everyone around me. Sometimes, disconcertingly they look back at me and I wonder how cops get away without being seen. Perhaps they need tinted windows or something. I should really keep some donuts, a cup of coffee and a water pistol handy in the car for the full effect. And that reminds me, I often wonder how they pee. I mean if I drank coffee like they seem to on television, then I'd need to use facilities shortly thereafter. Do they ever miss the person while they're relieving themselves?
So tell me Dear Reader, how do you pass the time if you have to wait for people? Go shopping? Call friends? Play on your phone? Pretend to be a cop on a stakeout?
