At The Light

It isn't a hallowed light that shows us the inner world of people. Its so common and accessible that we would even miss it in our routine. The traffic light, my friend, can show you a world you had never seen.

The following (stereo)types are common at a signal-
The Optimist -  The guy who believes that the light will remain green till he crosses it
The Pessimist - Duh!
The Cool guy - The guy who starts his bike 5 secs after the light turns green

The Hunk - The guy who uses the signal as an opportunity to flex his triceps on the bike handle
The Dweeb - The guy who thinks of joining the gym after seeing this.
The Fan - The guy who surveys the signal for signs of action, in fan motion (L to R, Return Center, R to L, Return Center)

The Couple - The two people who can't keep their hands off each other at a signal
The Voyeur - Dozens who can't keep their eyes off them

The Neck - The girl with a bent neck from the long phone conversations last night
The Guile - The guy dating this girl; has his neck straight though

The Enthusiast - The guy who will not miss an inch of free space to move in
The Laggard - The guy who will only feel alive when dozens of people honk at him

The Preener - The girl in a sleeveless top on a winter morning
The Recluse - The girl who is so completely wrapped that you wonder if she's as hideous unwrapped

The Bender - The guy who will not give alms to beggars, but will bend his head in remorse
The Clinker - The guy who will drop pennies from good height to achieve his moniker

The Texter - The girl who will stop at every signal to message her location via 'assisted' GPS
The Jiver - The guy who begins to unconditionally bob his head to the music in his earphones

The Surprise - The dog in the back seat that springs out to 'shiver me timbers'
The Joy - The little kid in the car who looks out the window and smiles at you
