I have this fear of judgment that I am met with every time it rains. It is one of my insecurities that I am working through.
I think I care more what other people think of me when I'm driving than I do at any other time. I distinctly remember a rainy day about 1 1/2 years ago. My car was in the shop for a face-lift, and the rental I had was a Mazda 5.
Now for those of you, who haven't a clue what a vehicle is
unless you own it or aspire to own it; A Mazda 5 is a cross
between a very long car and a very short mini van. You
know you have "toy" poodles? This is a "toy" mini van.
Well, it was on that rainy day that I was at a red light & realized that this van has a windshield wiper for the back window. I promptly turned it on, & after a lengthy giggle fit, turned it back off wondering if it looks as much like a dog wagging it's tail to the people in line behind me, as it did to me.
As I said, I am working through it. I have reached the point that I can now see that the reason I feel judged is because I "Windshield wiper judge" others that are on the road. You know... there is always that one person coming the other way in a light sprinkling of rain that has their wipers going to the beat of Flight of the Bumblebee.
Like I said...I'm working on it. Lucky for me It's not raining today. It will be a judge free drive home :)
You make me laugh. =)
