Wow, I thought I was the last person on Earth who didn't have a cell phone. I'm not sure I could even use one if I had to. They are good in an emergency situation but I don't feel I need one. My family would only be calling asking what's for dinner. I hate getting behind someone using one while I'm driving. There is one road out of the island I live on and most of the way there's no passing. I'll be going 30mph in a 55 zone because someone is yacking on the phone. Working in a local grocery store I'm surprised at how many people talk on the phone and ignore me while I'm ringing up their stuff. Good luck Jon. What in the world did we do before the cell?
See, I suffer major road rage. Dunno...something comes over me when I slide down the black leather & settle into the driver's seat. 30mph in a 55? I'd lay on the horn.
I know, I know, one day, I'll probably be shot.
The other day, here on base, I was at a stop sign. A four way. Had to let the other driver go first. Rules, ya' know. Soon as it was my turn, bastard behind me laid on the horn.
So I threw the car into reverse, looked over my shoulder & started backing up.
You should have seen his eyes--bulged...cursed...threw his own car into reverse...of course, as soon as he zipped backwards...I went forward.
Then the bitch followed me to the store.
I jumped outa the car. So did he. He started yelling.
I told him: 'I'm a cop. You really want to start explaining why you rush-honked at me at a Stop sign?'
"Oh, sorry ma'am. I'm sorry. I was just in a hurry. I'm sorry. No hard feelings."
He jumped in his car & drove away--super slow. Guess he assumed I might clock his speed.
Now...had he had a cellphone on him...and actually CALLED said police....I woulda' been SOOOO busted for impersonating a cop. But man, did it shut his yap!
As far as seeing people in Germany, on the autobahn, while talking on the phone....you don't know how much I wish I had a fog horn to blast them from behind with...just to see them jump 10 feet in their driver's seat...possibly even flip their vehicle....
what?
WHAT?
Hey! I TOLD you I have road rage...pfff...what?
Don't worry. I'd whip out my cellphone & call polizei
