I was driving in Seattle this past Sunday afternoon. I got to a 3-way intersection and stopped to let a minivan taxi cab go ahead of me. Instead of going ahead, the driver sort of waves and points behind me.
I'm not sure what he's pointing at, so I wave him ahead again. But he keeps pointing behind me.
So I think maybe there are some cars waiting behind me, and he wants me to go first. But when I look out my rear-view mirror, I don't see any cars. And since I'm not in a rush and I'm in an overly-polite mood, I wave the cabbie ahead of me again.
He continues to gesture behind me. I check the rear-view mirror again, and I still can't see any cars behind me. But then my brain catches up to my eyes, and I realize that I can't see anything behind me! All I see is shiny red...which happens to be the color of my car trunk.
I'd been driving with my trunk all the way open.
Needless to say, the cabbie had a good laugh at my expense.
At least I wasn't driving with the hood of my car open. That would've been awkward!
