Funny thing happened on the way to drop off the tax deduction at school today. I almost got broadsided. Now I know you're thinking "wow, how cool is that", but it gets better. I almost got smacked today in the parking lot of the school by a lady in a nice big Lexus. Did I mention she was on the phone? Or going about 40? I wouldn't worry too much about all these little kids running around. You're MUCH too important than to have to worry about things like that!
Have people just lost absolutely every little shred of common sense that they might have had? What part of hauling-ass through an elementary school parking lot while on the phone was a good idea in her mind?
By a show of hands, who of you have texted while driving? Put your hands down goof-balls, I can't see you. We all know this is a bad idea, right? Right??? We all also know that it's a bad idea to drink and drive. Or play Texas Hold-em and drive. Or attempt to neuter your neighbors cat while you drive. Or any number of other things. Basically, it's just a bad idea to do anything other than concentrate on the road and drive.
I'm not one to throw stones. I've been known to pull some pretty dumb moves in my time. I've even been known to talk on the phone and drive at the same time. When I do, I try to be courteous to my fellow man and not sit at a traffic light and gossip while there's cars behind me waiting to go. Or I try to not follow quite as closely. But it seriously makes me madder than a hair-lipped Chihuahua when I almost get run over by some dumb doodly in an expensive car who thinks that she's so important that she's got to take the call RIGHT NOW!!!
Maybe she was calling the president with a solution to the war? Or maybe she was on the Pope's personal line asking for forvigeness? Or maybe she just found out she won the Publisher's Clearing House? But probably, she was just an inconsiderate wench!
