joie de vivre is feeling better
I also recommend writing with your finger on the backs of cars while you’re idling at intersections when you’re on your bike.
If I write on the back of your car, it’s probably because you buzzed me a bit to get to the light, and then I pulled up right behind you anyway. If you’re driving in such an unsafe and uptight manner, I figure you’re not a happy person right now, so I won’t write a bad word. That’s not nice.
Instead, if it’s just short light, I’ll just make a smiley face. If it’s a longer light, I’ll write “Have a nice day” and make lots of smiley faces and flowers. Big dirty SUV windows are a good “canvas” for this sort of more elaborate art work. You can also do it so the driver can read it in their rear view mirror: ”!YAD ECIN A EVAH” only with the letters backwards.
Through this action you can bring your particular form of creativity and joy into someone else’s life; and ideally brings cheer to the person driving the motor vehicle that you so thoughtfully decorated.
true story, happened only the other day. A young and trendy motorcyclist was pulled up at the light, revving his machine, itching to go. From behing him, a trucker got out of his cab and stood behind the bike. He opened his fly and urinated all over the back wheel of the bike. Broad daylight.
