Mindless entertainment

My parking lot at work makes it necessary for me to walk across a busy intersection. Today, I arrived at this intersection just seconds after the lights changed, meaning I had to wait my turn along with dozens of other employees. This is what I call down time. . . there really isn't anything constructive you can do, other than wait for the lights to change and then you are on your way. This is definitely not the place to play chicken with a car.

So I found myself watching the cars coming in from my left, all making a right turn into the massive parking lot. Then, for reasons I cannot explain, I started watching the expressions on the faces of the driver as they approached this intersection. Now THIS was entertainment, folks!!! Out of perhaps 30 or 40 cars, I found it quite amusing to watch the drivers! Some had expressions of someone intent on getting their car parked and getting into work on time. Others had grumpy expressions. A few had expressions of someone in deep emotional stress. One or two actually had pleasant, happy looks. I found myself wondering what stories were behind all these faces.

In deep thought, I was nudged by the crowd. . . OH! The light had changed. . . now it was the pedestrians' turn! As I walked across the road and then into the building, I couldn't help wondering. . . What kind of expression do I have when I'm driving????
