It still startles me
when people I pass on the streets seem to talk to themselves till I notice the earphone thingy ....

1. You will assimilate
We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

4. It's scarier when they're talking and driving a 2 ton vehicle...
...while stuffing an egg mcmuffin down their face. Driving a machine that can kill people but to them it's such an important call that the public's safety be damned.

5. That sure is scary
in Germany it is forbidden to talk on the phone while driving. Unless you have a free speaking installation.

6. they do more fun stuff in Germany, like cutting their finger nails while driving

1. Fahrer: "Na ja, die haben während der Fahrt Zeitung gelesen. Dann haben die den Tempomat drin, die Füße auf dem Amaturenbrett. Sowas kann man nicht akzeptieren."
2. Fahrer: "Viele schneiden sich ihre Fingernägel oder schmieren sich Brote."
3. Fahrer: "Es telefonieren sehr viele. Ich mache das auch ab und zu, muss ich zugeben."

7. I rather not think about it
I've heard stories of truck drivers jacking off while driving :scared:

Good thing I don't own a car anymore and take the train when I need to get somewhere

12. I never thought of that
I talk to myself all the time and I suppose people do think I'm crazy. I ought to buy a cheap earpiece just to deflect suspicion. :think:

13. Just practice ventriloquism
Your mouth isn't moving, so the listener must be hearing voices. So who's crazy? ;)
