I was driving home this evening, going at my usual speed of around 75 miles per hour in the #1 lane(that's the one closest to the center in case you didn’t know). I see this small car come flying up behind me,easily going 80 plus, so I move to the right to let him pass.
So as he goes flying by me I see his right arm held out to a 90 degree angle, with a phone shoved up against his right ear…
First thought: Wish the cops were here to give him a ticket (it’s illegal to drive with your hand holding a phone here…must be “hands free”).
Second thought: Well, actually, I don’t care what he does, as long as he’s not hurting anyone.
All of a sudden he starts slowing down….he is still in the number one lane, but now his speed has dropped to around 60 miles per hour….and he’s thoroughly engrossed in his conversation now , to the point of highway inattention.
Next thought: Used to only see chicks do that stupid stuff; you’re ruining my statistics…
Next thought, as he pulls in front of me and heads for the # 4 lane and the exit: IDIOT !
I’m all for live and let live; my personal philosophy is to allow others to act as they wish, to pursue their idea of “happiness” without intervention from me (or government, either) AS LONG AS THEY DON’T ENDANGER SOMEONE ELSE…stupid behavior leads to a loss of freedom for everyone else…
Final thought on the subject: Eventually Darwin will catch up with that moron.
