What do you do while you're sitting in your car stopped at a red light?

Do you text or call someone? eat? sing along with the radio? read the newspaper, internet? talk with your kids? ..... something else?

I find it amazing the things that I've seen people doing while stopped at a red light.

ROFL!!!

I'm usually looking around at other people but you could also find me talking to my kids, singing with the radio or playing around with the GPS.

What do you do?

I do one of two things: think about all I've got to get done that day or looking at flowers and trees and admiring birds and the sunshine

On a really rushed day I am looking in the mirror to make sure my breakfast isn't hanging on my lower lip!

Gosh I hope nobody texts or does other silly things. It is only a stop light so it requires your full attention. Change a radio station but keep your wits about you for the sake of other road users.

If someone is in the car, I may talk. If no one is in the car I just listen to music.

I am much like "Happy6", there is a lot of time I just people watch to see who else is singing the same song I am. I live in a small town, so I also like wave at the folks I know. I sometimes randomly wave and see if they will wave back. I think in the morning I am going to randomly to "Thumbs Up" and see what happens.

You will never find me on the phone or texting, That is just not smart. Usually I am thinking about where I am going, what I am going for... I also like to people watch. I also listen to the radio or talk to who ever is with me.

Well as most of you know I don't drive so pretty much can just do what I want to. I mostly just watch the people or look at the bushes/flowers

I usually sit there and think about how slow the light is.

Illegal to txt while the car engine is on, even if you're stopped on the side of the road
the engine must be off to be on the phone.
I have a tendency to clean and buff my fingernails while stopped at lights, singing is
the other thing I do and I don't car who is watching LOL
