Cell Phones.

Although I do own a cell phone I hate it. It somehow takes away common sense and common courtesy. How So? People who fell it necessary to talk while driving. I do that sometimes but I am physically capable of doing so. Meaning I still am aware of things outside my peripheral and use my turn signals and such. There have been cases when that wasn't the case which I pull to the side or something.

I've seen some really dangerous stuff happen while people are talking while driving. Some even stopping in traffic because they almost missed a turn and reversing and turning to pull back and make the turn without looking around. As if it's three in the morning in a residential area and not noticing the cars screeching to halts and whatnot. And if that's not dangerous enough they still have their phone up to their ears. Unless that phone's super-glued to her and she's been trying to pry it off, there's no fucking excuse for that nonsense.

Then there's the people who don't feel it necessary to hang up ever. Like they'll be talking while they're ordering food or purchasing groceries or even talking to someone else. It's fucking crazy! I always feel like grabbing their phone and throwing it off in the distance.

There was a time that Jeanne and I went to China Palace and noticed that the two booths in front of us along the wall, people were on their cell phones. At dinner! Are you that fucking important? Are those phone calls that important?

It always seems, too, that people's phones ring while you're talking to them, and most people don't leave it on vibrate so it's just this irking, nagging interruption. I don't understand why people leave the ringers on. I always hate attracting that kind of attention. I do that when I'm at home or driving, so I can hear it.
