I wish people would not call and drive.

Why do people do that? It has painful consequences. My head is a perfect example of it.

1. Wishing you well Lady Freedom..n/t

2. Thank you!

3. It's illegal here in Oregon.

But I see people doing it all the time...and it annoys the hell out of me.

4. And due to not watching, bad things happen.

So many seem not to realize what can happen.

6. They sure do.

I'm a very avid bicyclist, and I've come very close to being hit by idiots talking/texting on their mobiles way more times than I like to think about. I've actually been knocked off twice, but in neither case was a cell involved. Only a matter of time, I suspect...

If/when it does happen, they'd better make sure they kill me...or it will NOT end well for them.

5. It's illegal here in CA, yet my BF does it every now and then.

It irritates the hell out of me. And I give him the hairy eyeball.

Not to mention the fact that he texts and has to look down through his lenses to see the phone.

Is any text that important?

7. Oh, man!

I think I might demand to be let out of the car!

8. We live out in the sticks. I'd have to walk too far.

But he knows it bugs me and he knows it's wrong. He's in law enforcement and should know better.

Sometimes I just want to throw his phone into a ditch. He is attached to that stupid thing.

In the 3 months that we have been dating, I think I've heard him talk on the phone 4 times. The rest of the time it is texts. He's 48 years old. He's not a teenager. It drives me absolutely crazy.

I just hope he doesn't learn the hard way....
