I got the idea from another website that inspires people to be kind. I've always loved seeing bubbles hovering in the air - makes me feel like a kid again. So, I went to a toy store and found a battery operated bubble gun that shoots bubbles up to about 5 feet away. It was perfect. All I had to do was open up the free bottle of bubble soap liquid that came with it, screw the open bottle onto the bottom of the gun, and voila, it's ready to go.
So, I started shooting bubbles out my window at red lights. ( I only do it at red lights and I've learned to keep my eye on the light so I'm ready to go when it turns green). People pull up next to me and I almost always get smiles from them. They love it! One guy rolled down his passenger window and said, " That's the first thing that made me smile all day."
The next day another guy in a truck rolled down his window and said, " Hey, you're not supposed to have fun when you're driving!" Well, my response to that is: As long as safety is priority #!, why not?
Driving for many people is stressful and if i can bring a smile to people's faces maybe their mood will lighten up a bit and they won't get as angry when someone cuts them off. I know I'm not going to change the world with my bubbles, but it makes me feel great when I see others smile, it makes me smile, and it does make driving a lot more fun. Try it and see what happens.
