Nosy business…

I was on a cab yesterday. It stopped for a red light and this shiny brand new black coloured SAAB pulled up beside my cab. I’ve always marvelled at how well a car would look no matter how ugly it is if it’s brand new and this wasn’t a bad looking car. The guy was driving and his wife was sitting behind with their baby beside her. It was a picture of a relatively well to do young professional Singaporean couple out for a Sunday family outing. Typical.

Then it started. Oblivious to the fact that people were watching, the lady began digging her nose. She seems to be enjoying it alot and what was it that has accumulated in her nasal passage only she knows. For what seems like eternity she finally got the contents out. She took a look at the remains on her finger and then nonchalently plastered it onto the car’s window, wiped her finger a couple of times on the window again and then turned her attention to her baby.

The traffic light turned green and my cab moved on, I looked at the scenery flying past me and just let my mind wander, feeling lost.
