Yes, it occasionally occurs, that while commuting in the early morning something really makes you giggle. This friday morning, it happened to me.
To get across East Marginal way, 6 lanes of traffic, plus a turn lane, there's a traffic light with an actuator in each lane; 2 left turn lanes, and 1 straight through or right turn lane.
I sat there for what seemed forever, all alone on that little "T" that I presume means "trigger" and then the lights finally started to change. Just as it was getting close, a car pulled up next to me in the "left turn" lane (I was going straight across the street) and then the light changed. I had a green light. He didn't. He'd have to wait through another entire cycle. hehehe. I giggled all the rest of the way into my office.

how often does THAT happen?

It's the little things in life that make us happy. :)

I thought of this thread yesterday on a road ride when a similar thing happened, and chuckled for a bit....

Commute mirth of the morning? I have a new office...with windows! that open! :D Had my first bike morning here and proceeded to start the changing process....luckily didn't get far before remembering I have to pull the blinds first now!! :rolleyes:
