Lesson: Don't text while driving a bus when there are cameras watching your every move.

1. How about not texting or talking on cells regardless of who is watching?!

Because you might kill someone. And when you kill someone, how can you ever enjoy life again?

2. 'not talking on cells'? You are talking crazy. It's illegal in LA but I still see drivers doing it

3. It's crazy not to talk on cells while driving?!

:yoiks:

People really need to get a life. Seriously. I hear these inane conversations and I wonder why people waste their time on nonsense.

4. Talking on your cell is distracting and takes eyes and one hand away, or two.

Which is why it is and should be illegal.


It's illegal here unless you are using bluetooth.

My car has factory bluetooth, so I use my cellphone shamelessly.

:P

9. Which probably isn't a good idea either

simply because it's distracting.

5. Yeah, I hear the stupid conversations also. In supermarkets, people SHOUTING

out items as they 'co-shop' with someone on the Cell. No time to simply veg and look out the window as people
SHOUT into cells on the bus. Folks are addicted to the things.

6. Grrr

I take an immediate dislike to people that do that. It's rude, it's ignorant, and totally inconsiderate. I suspect these people would be just as boorish in other ways too.

7. Add to that people who yap on cells while they are dealing with a cashier, receptionist, etc.

Boils my blood! :grr:

8. Often times I've seen the cashier (at market) greet customers who don't respond because of their

Very, Very important cell phone call.

10. I hate that. It's so rude. So is blocking a store aisle with your cart while you "co-shop"

with someone on the phone. That gets really bad at Christmastime, with clueless men standing with their carts blocking off whatever it is you want to get to while they're blissfully ignorant of your presence, asking their wives on the phone what to get Aunt Martha.

11. Jesus. Just exit the bus and remove yourself from the gene pool
