Blessed present Hivers, I want to share with you one of my funny anecdotes that I chose to participate in this Contest of our Community :
A crash and a driver with a crazy look
When you live in a city with a fast paced life, by survival instinct you get used to go at their pace to meet the demands, and in the middle of all those races you can get to commit some crazy things. After my divorce my work routine and attention to my children's school and recreational activities had a major breakdown.
I felt like I was on the run all day and didn't even have time to get ready to go out and be on time to the places I needed to be to fulfill our commitments, so I learned to do my makeup, hair and grooming while driving, or rather, while taking advantage of every stop between traffic lights or when I got stuck in a traffic.
I use to drive with shoes without heels, I leave home with my high heels or sandals and when I get in the car I change them for some tennis shoes that I always leave under the seat. One day (as usual) I went out against the clock running with the kids, half dressed and with a lot of things on top of me, I could barely change the shoe on my right foot and ran to school, left the kids and then went to my office. Standing at a traffic light, I started to put on my makeup and fix my hair.
Without realizing it, I let my foot off the brake and lightly hit the car in front of me. The driver of that car got out of the car in a rage and came straight towards me, which was totally understandable, because it is unusual to be hit from behind when everyone is standing still waiting for the green light.
I got very nervous about the situation when I saw the man's face and I ran out of the car to apologize and see if I had caused any damage, without realizing that I had a sandal on one foot, tennis shoes on the other, half of my hair up and the other half combed, and my face was also in the process of being made up.
I can't imagine what must have gone through that man's mind when he saw me, the truth is that he started laughing out loud, he even cried with laughter, he couldn't stop laughing, he looked like a madman, and I in my nervousness and seeing myself with that look I laughed euphorically with him too, it was a very funny moment. The traffic light changed and the cars started to pass by us, nobody understood what was happening, I guess it is also quite funny to see a crash with the drivers laughing as if that event had been the best event of the day.
When we stopped laughing we said goodbye as if we were great friends and everyone went on their way.
After that experience, I never again got dressed up while driving, I go out happily natural and I try to live without rushing even when circumstances push me to go racing. If I need to be made up for some special reason, I simply wait until I get to the parking lot of my place of work and I fix myself before getting out of the car to make sure I don't have an event like that again.
I remembered this anecdote after reading entry to the
