I:
a) beep my horn as loud and as often as I can
b) wave my arms around and gesticulate in an irate fashion
c) creep up, inch by inch, the bumper of the dude in front
d) rev my engine as loud and as often as I can
e) decide I want to be in the next lane and berate anyone who won't let me in
f) try to run over any pedestrian who dares try to cross in front of me

....... I love being stuck in traffic :twisted:

I have an hour and half commute every day, which if conditions are bad (weather, crashes) can easily turn into a three hour drive. I'm sure you all have similar traffic problems in Dubai.

I carpool with someone else to and from work every day, So I have someone to talk to when she is not sucking on her cigarrettes *coughs*.

But other than that listen to music, laugh at other drivers who are singing to the radio like a drunk in a kareokee bar, stare at the car in front of me, wave at the person behind me through the rear view mirror like I know them (confuses the hell out of them) but its a good laugh.

Drive to work = Boring!

- read pocket book

- compute my budget for the month, or the next
- send sms message to old pals

I do the following:

1. Sending sms to friends and lovedones

2. I listened to music or sometimes arabic prayers or whatever the taxi driver have in his sound system. I am not a high maintenance passenger, you only need to drive carefully and i will stay calm & less demanding and would even listen to any music (arabic, hindi, urdu, farsi, etc). :P

3. I watched other drivers and giving them dirty look for staring at me. :shock: :shock:

4. I sometimes memorised car plate numbers especially those who cut the lines. So careful, me have photographic memory. 8)

listen to my muse cd, once that is over, listen to some arabic/farsi music and dance in my car, smoke, talk on the phone, ummm look at the other cars around me - make sure the person in front of me isnt a moron and knows how to drive so i can continue on doing things in my car that i shouldn't be doing while driving... :D
