First off, I live in New Jersey, and let’s be honest, we have some radically, crazy and aggressive drivers here. Now don’t get me wrong, I think New York drivers are worse, but you hop onto 78 at rush hour, and New Jersey gives New Yorkers a run for their money. I’m not proud, just stating my opinion.
Now…mix NJ drivers and cell phones, and we’ve got a problem! People, hang up your phone when you’re driving. I know you think you can drive and talk, but I’m here to tell you that you can’t! No, really, you can’t.
I can hear you all ready…I’m different, I can, but I know others can’t. Nah, really, you can’t either. You either drive too fast, swerve, or drive too slow while you’re on the phone.
Seriously, how did we exist before cell phones? Come on, pull over, wait until you get home, or call people back another time. Trust me, little Tommy can wait 15 minutes to hear you’re bringing pizza home for dinner. Your girl can wait to hear you picked out a movie to watch. Your business, well…pull the heck over if it’s urgent, or just wait and make all your calls together.
There’s a law now in Jersey where you can be pulled over for chatting on your phone while holding it, but I don’t see it being enforced. It’s utterly irritating to get stuck behind someone on their phone.
Do us all a favor, and put the phone down!
Got a cell phone pet peeve of your own? Maybe that chick who talks too loud on her phone, or the guy at the restaurant oblivious of the people sitting next to him? How about the movie theater? Blog about your cell phone pet peeve, and it may be worth something!
If you’re looking for a smile, then be sure to pick up Cell Hell, a satirical book about 55 cell phone users you’d like to silence!
