What do you do when you're stuck in a traffic jam?

What is traffic jam? For most of the Malaysian, we experience it everyday, either when we leave home or before we reach home. Especially in Klang Valley, if you wake up in a day and see no traffic jam then most probably it is during public holiday.

Traffic jam is so common that we has already get use to it and everyone has their own ways to endure it. But, what do people really do when they're stuck in a traffic jam? Thus, I have come out with a list that based on my years of observation on Malaysian drivers, about what we really do in traffic jam.

What Malaysian do...
1. Singing along to songs on the radio. Sometimes when you look around, you can see there's a concert going on in the car next to you, they sing so passionately that their hands hold firmly on the car steering. Or perhaps, you are also having your own mini concert and when you look to your side, you realize the driver next to you is actually singing the same song and probably you two are on the same radio channel. Why not wind down your window for a duet then?

2. Browsing social media. This is the reason why you can see so many social networking site's latest update for the road traffic, all the cursing and regrets. Oh, not to forget, one of the contributor that make out statistic for why road accident can be happen so easily and foolish. Your status update and the tweet can wait.

"Im so gonna late for work!"... Twitter 

3. Taking selfies. Yea, traffic jam has suddenly become another all time favourite for people who take a self portrait now after the toilet. It is funny when you saw the person in the car next to you, is doing selfies and suddenly they realise you are watching and they give you an awkward stare. Haha. I love to spoil their selfies moment.

Time to Insta! 

4. Applying makeup. Some women see traffic jam as a chance for them to put up the make up, or maybe not only women now, some men do it too. This normally happen during morning rush hours, some people dont even have time for breakfast, they need to make a good use of time, thus, traffic jam or stopping at the traffic light is a good opportunity for them. They are the opportunist.

Time is precious in the morning, every minute counts!

5. Nose picking. This is the most epic one. We all have seen one or we are one of them who did that at least one. You can see them try so hard to dig in their finger, turn here twist there, wanting to find the biggest prize. The most awesome one is not the digging process but the post-digging, you can actually see how they flick it away or hide in somewhere on them or in the car. Ewwwww....

Argh... Almost there...

Haha. This is the 5 scenes that I came across most often.
Thanks for reading :)

What about you? Have you seen anything like this or even more extreme?
