what is walter mittys real life like

In that real world, things are a bit more humdrum for Walter. Water Mitty is driving his wife to her hairdresser. As she exits the car, she reminds him not to forget to buy overshoes and to wear his gloves while he’s driving. Walter leaves with the gloves on, but takes them off at the first stoplight only to guiltily put them back on when a cop pulls up alongside him and tells him to get moving. The light has turned green and Walter’s car is still sitting, idling. Walter's life is boring and he is subservient to his overbearing wife.
