The Unexpected
As I was driving home today, I noticed a Toyota Camry ease up toward my car. The woman driving the vehicle was obviously oblivious to the world and seemed to only half-heartedly acknowledge my car's prior claim to that particular space on the road. But she stopped in the nick of time and missed my car.
Of course, I wondered, "What would cause someone to nearly rear-end someone else?"
So I peered through my rear-view mirror to see that this woman was entranced with her own acne. That's right folks, this woman (probably late 20s) was busy popping zits on her face. As I watched, I saw that she took care of unsighly blemished on her chin, forehead, cheek and eyebrows.
And I thought I'd seen everything.
