8 out of 10 people I saw DRIVING today, were on the damn cell phone!

[maveric]

What is it with people? Do they HAVE TO make a fucking phone call as soon as they put their damn SUV in gear? I almost got hit twice today and was forever in back of someone, usually in a damn SUV, who wasnt focused on driving and where they were going,and going slow or just stopping in traffic!
AARRGGHH!!!! Whats with people?????

2. Lemme guess, 85% of them were doing 45 mph

in the fast lane of a major freeway.

3. Yes!

Or sitting on green lights clogging the roadways.

7. I've noticed that when pedestrians are walking and talking

they aren't aware of what's going on around them. I've seen them step into the street against the light and meander across intersections as if they had half the day to get moving. They bump into people without apologizing, because they're too engrossed in conversation.

Very odd.

4. That is now illegal in the UK.

The law passed last year.

Good thing too.

5. I thought is was illegal in CA.

If it is then its not enforced.

6. hey, did you get your truck repaired?

I was gonna suggest a mechanic at the top of Fletcher Pkwy, but didn't catch your post till this morning.

8. It's not really a problem to me just yet...

... although it may become one...

I'm more concerned that people are so uncomfortable being 'alone with themselves' that they really don't even talk TO the person on the other end of their cell... almost as though it's just a pacifier... seems sad Any thoughts?

13. No not yet. I'm planning on replacing the alternator tomorrow.

I havent gotten greasy in a long time.

9. I always use a headset

and I'm that aggressive Masshole driver in the passing lane doing 80 mph. People who can't walk and chew gum at the same time shouldn't drive and talk on the phone.

10. I always try to pull over but, as a mom, there are times when the phone

rings, it's my kids and I'll answer that immediately driving or not. Sorry to have bothered you if it was me in front of you. I'm still going to answer it. :hi:

11. I went to a Target store last weekend and I swear

half the dam people walking around in the store were on the damn phone, Just seemed so silly to me that people are paying major bucks for their cell phone, when there was a pay phone on the wall. They must feel obligated to use it to justify paying those high monthly rates.

People if you need a cell phone for emergencies, I recommend a tracphone.. Yearly rate and cheap..

12. The other day, I ended up behind a Lexus doing 50 in the middle lane

on the freeway. I look over as I'm passing her (mind you we're coming up on one of the most bogus pieces of high speed roadway in Seattle-I-5 under the convention center) I look over. Not only is the biatch on the phone, SHE'S TAKING NOTES!:nuke: :grr: :nuke:

14. you only saw ten people driving?

Man, you must live out in the boonies!
