Get Off the Cellphone, You Idiot!

i.e., heart attack or other serious emergency, no one should be prattling off on a cell phone while driving. Some people, sadly, are just plain stupid. For those who are travelling around via their feet, there seems to be a remarkable lapse of judgement as well. I was standing in line at a grocery store, and heard a woman giving here checking acct #, complete w/bank routing # over her phone. I pulled out a pen and began doodling, then turned and asked her to repeat the last 4 digits of the routing # as I had missed them, (I did not take down the #'s), and I thought she was going to die on the spot. Reminds me of the adage, "no brains, no headaches".

life existed before these devices of disraction.I work on traffic lights in live traffic and have witnessed for lack of a better word---bizzare behavior while entranced in a cell phone conversation. people are dying because of this behavior.what will it take??? hands free???? I don't beleive in that either. we can't stop TWD (talking while driving),and now we TXT while driving -you never catch me TWD w/ my 4 y/o in the back seat when will the madness end. just a quick story-- witnessed a single car accident car vs telephone pole- went to assist the genlemen out of the wreck ---he was still typing on laptop after the airbag deployed---hope he made the sale?????
