Smile! You're On Candid Camera

Cell phone cameras are EVERYWHERE.  Have you seen the website called 'People of Walmart' that is pictures of the interesting clientele that can frequent a Walmart?  Every time I look on it, I am terrified I am going to come across a picture of myself; bending over to get something and my butt crack is showing or something.

So the other day I'm driving in our pick-up.  I stop at a red light and I glance in my rear view mirror and see a car pulls up behind me.  A few seconds later I glance up again and the driver and passenger both have cell phones out and holding them.

Clearly taking a picture of my truck.

I'm puzzled.  Why are they taking a picture?  I pat my head to make sure I don't have wild hair.  I rack my brain - did I shut something in the tailgate? No. Did I run over a small animal or child and have bits and pieces stuck back there?  I don't think so.

WHAT WAS IT??

Then the light turns green and I sit a second longer, still looking in the mirror and they still have the cameras up.  Did they not get a good picture?  Or worse..are they shooting video?  WHAT IS GOING ON BACK THERE??

So now it's driving me a little crazy.  I pull into the first parking lot I come to and get out and look to see what was so fascinating and picture worthy.

Nothing.  Absolutely nothing.



I can only assume they were enjoying my bumper sticker "The Internet Makes You Stupid".
