Close call.
I was coming around the turn-around to get home and I see this huge NAVIGATOR with a person on the phone, ON THE FUCKING PHONE, coming at me, and she is driving too fast up the entrance road towards the turnaround and I LAID ON MY HORN, wishing I had an airhorn...and she screeched.

I got through and she wizzed by behind me....

whew...

1. what is it with women and cell phones?
seriously whenever I see someone yakking away while driving around, it's 90% of the time a woman.

What did women do before cell phones?

Nobody uses their turn signals anymore because one hand is busy with the freaking cell phone.

2. Cell phones cause EVERY FRICKIN ACCIDENT.
Edited on Mon Oct-13-03 10:29 PM by Ripley
and it is not just females yakking away...

On edit: Okay, I admit that is not true. In fact cell phones only cause half of the divorces filed...sheesh.

3. I think that you really need to concentrate when you are driving.
It is so easy to miss something even when you are not talking on the phone!! I don't get it. I don't want people calling me in the car.

4. Passed this old woman in a cadillac today, and she was drinking
coffee out of a styrofoam cup and had her head titled so far back, and the cup so clse, she had no line of vision whatsoever!

Sped up and got as far away as possible.

6. Yeah, seen that.

Notice how you have to drive extremely defensively now?

Yes, I find some elderly folks 'SLOW' but I also find teenagers, shit why blame them...Americans...are "slow" because they are so into their phones they forget traffic rules.
