Sometimes I use the mirror to hang my ball cap when not in use, or in the past year, a face mask.

Other riders use their mirrors for whatever reasons they have and not necessarily for the reasons deemed correct or important by other cyclists; reasons which may not include making eye contact or otherwise communicating with every bicyclist who passes by.
