Re: Please put your phone down

@Just Bling. I beg my dd not to do it! We all have the hands free phone thing, but texting...that dam* texting!

Never underestimate the power of kindness.

Re: Please put your phone down

I get annoyed at parents who talk on the phone instead of talking to their children.  I see this at the park all of the time.

 

However, I find that those most dangerous with phones and driving are older people.  Just the other day, I was at the Y and this woman who looked to be in her 70's was trying to get her very large van out of a parking space.  She could not get it out easily because she was on her phone.  Then, she starts driving erratically and cuts me off (did not even see me) as she is trying to dial while the car is still moving.  I was just trying to park.  I guess the only good thing is that the Y can parking lot cameras so if anything happened, there would be a video of it.  I just hope everyone on the road stayed out of her way.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!
