Eh, I look at it as a safety issue. I look at it as a motorcycle driver. I look at it as someone who has had near misses from people on the phone or texting. The military has already outlawed the use of cell phones while driving on base. They will pull you over and give you ticket in a NY minute. Sounds like a good thing to me.

Not nearly the same as taking over the banking and auto industry and now attempting to control health care. Every chooses their battles.

In a congested small parking parking lot today at my friend's kids' school, an event just finished and I watched in amazement as everyone pretty much simultaneously got in their cars, opened their phones as they turned the ignition, and yattered away whilst putting their seatbelt on and backing out of their spot, most without even glancing round. That no-one hit anyone or anything leads me to believe that you truly are the chosen people. Well these lot are anyway. It's an expensive private school.

Yeah, what is that? People can't walk around the grocery store without yakkin' but ABOUT WHAT?

"I'm looking at ketchup. Yeah, dude. Really. Oh look mustard. Mustard is yellow. Do you like yellow? I might buy some cereal..."

When I back out it looks like I'm not looking because I'm looking at the screen on my dash where the picture shows up from the back up camera. I do tend to glance around at least a little bit though...

How about the people on the phone in public bathrooms. Nothing creepy about that...

xoxoxoBruce · 09-03-2009, 11:13 AM

Phone sex.

Ew. I hate that. I'd really be unhappy if I found out I was talking to someone while they were taking a dump. If I'm in a bathroom and I hear someone in there on the phone, I flush. Gives fair warning for the person on the other end.
