One day, when I was a home care nurse, I found myself talking to my next client on the cell phone while eating an apple and shifting gears in my standard and drinking a pop. I thought, "this is nuts! I'm going to get in an accident." So I smartened up and bought an automatic (true story). You know you're over the edge when you use the map as a napkin.
Sorry, I had to share. But I agree...what's so dang important that the call can't wait? It's one of the major stressors in todays society: Information Overload. We are inundated with information, can't ever seem to get any quiet time or down time. After being attached to a cell for so many years, I personally like being away from it. But I do carry it with me all the time, like when we go out on the golf cart!
Know what I think? Spouses talking in the car should be outlawed! And childred! Talk about a distraction!!! They shouldn't be allowed in the car either. Chewing gum while driving? No sireebob!
