Anybody else experience something like this with a bike or bike accessory thatyou've really come to depend on?
I have done that too with my (two) Take –a-Looks. Just this past week I went out for a ride, after being off the bike for a week, and realized I forgot my mirror. I decided to complete the 12 miles without it but still occasionally glanced upwards looking for the phantom mirror.

Once a local radio talk show host was remote broadcasting outdoors from Fenway Park, the Red Sox baseball stadium. I stopped from my bike ride and as I was facing them, he was chatting with his sidekick and ogling a couple young ladies in short shorts. I got the host's attention, and pointed to my Take-a-Look as I could see the ladies too but less obviously.

I have given “finger waves” myself while pushing a shopping cart.
