Worst thing you've seen someone do while driving?
WKMCD's post this morning about being profiled got me thinking. I see people do mind numbingly stupid things while behind the wheel of a motor vehicle mostly during rush hour traffic. What's the worst thing you've ever seen?
Aside from the people deciding to exit at the last second from 3 lanes over (an all too common occurrence around here). That absolute worst thing I ever saw was a guy working out while driving. Yup, there he was doing curls at 65 MPH.

In no particular order.....
changing a baby's diaper
reading the newspaper
eating a taco (Careful, I meant from a Mexican restuarant) :o
Trimming finger nails
using one of those eyelash curler things
applying make-up
I'm sure there are more, just can't think of them at the moment...

Let's see......in all my years of travel across the states.....
1)guy shaving
2)girl shaving (legs and....)
3)brushing teeth
4)reading newspaper or book
5)putting on makeup
6)eating cereal or something out of a crockpot
7)cigarette in one hand, cellphone against ear, waving other hand in rush hour traffic
8)dog/cat sitting in lap
9)girl(s)flashing b**bies
All of this and probably more over the years traveling. But my biggest peeve is cell phone drivers/talkers. Too many close calls........
Thanks for letting me rant!!!!!!!!!!!

Worse thing I have done? Not taking the lives of countless others into consideration while doing 67 in a 55, at least that's what the officer said... I think I said "thanks" and shook my head on that one too.

I saw my best friend kill himself street racing...
I also saw a woman driving a 750 i BMW drop her cell phone while driving, bend down to pick it up, cross the median and head on and kill a mother and her baby. I was directly behind the BMW.

That seems to have taken the cake...yikes. I have seen things like you have, and then there are the people that reverse a couple hundred feet while looking forward. Seen people swerve left before blitzing to the right for an 'extra speedy' turn to the right, right into the person that was driving behind then that thought they were actually turning left. Saw people burn rubber when a cop was only a few cars back, oh....and the worst, speeding through school zones past a few school busses that had their 'exiting passengers' lights on....that is madness!Ray

Saw a woman once actually changing out of her work clothes into her baseball uniform while driving. ... 
Lately I've been seeing lots of ricers playing racecar dodging in between cars on streets and freeways cutting in at the last minute, etc. VERY aggravating. Last week one of them cut in front of my wife and almost caused her to have an accident. Wish I could find the little jerk...
