As Cairo's traffic gets more and more insane and no matter what hour of the day it is, since you know there's going to be a traffic jam, we thought why not give you guys a list of things you can do while in your car stuck in the crazy streets of Cairo!
We know there is no solution so since you can't beat em...join them!!
So here's a list of things you can do:
1. Blast your music as loud as possible and sing at the top of your lungs. You'll definitely feel relieved a bit.
2. Just randomly smile and wave at people...smiling is contagious, spread the love! Plus, you never know, it might make someone's day...actually, we take that back, it'll might just become one big "let's hit on you back" fest!
3. Got any emails for work that you haven't responded to? Maybe a to-do list you keep forgetting to jot down? Why not write it out while stuck in the streets...you'll be saving yourself the extra work from whatever destination you're going to.
4. Make those familial and other obligatory phone calls you always forget to make and end up getting tahzee2 for, no better time! (plus, you can always use the excuse to hang up...oh crap I'm driving gotta go!)
5. Call up some friends you haven't spoken to in awhile and have been meaning to get in touch with and use the time to catch up.
6. For the women, pluck your eyebrows...for the men, get an electric shaver, you'll thank us in the morning!
7. Or you can be a rebel and park your car on the side of the road and screw the traffic. Just recline your chair and take a deep breath and relax because we all know it's not going to get any better!
If traffic starts moving, then we recommend you put your phone down because let's admit it, you end up swaying or slowing down to type...
Any other suggestions Cairo, let's get creative...respectfully ;)
