Comment on Why do we say, "when I look in the mirror" instead of "when I look in a mirror?"

in my experience, people use both, but in different contexts.

“in the mirror” tends to more often refer to a metaphorical “mirror”, typically when discussing self-reflection

“in a mirror” tends to refer most often to actual mirrors that exist
