Make-Believe Traffic

Everyone’s encountered traffic woes, but this woman’s selfie paints a peculiar picture. Playfully pouting with coffee in hand, she bemoans the “traffic” in her caption, inviting sympathy from her audience. But keen-eyed observers noticed something amiss. Those oversized sunglasses, more than a fashion statement, held a secret: a clear reflection of an open road.

A classic case of irony: while attempting to depict a crowded commute, her very own shades betrayed her. Beyond the humor, though, is a concerning tableau. Phone in one hand, coffee in another, driving on a clear road—it’s a cautionary tale of the unexpected risks we sometimes take, all for the “perfect” selfie.
