h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

 Ok, this sort of goes along with the drivers. Why the hell do you people insist on talking on your damned phone while you are behind the wheel of a moving vehicle? HUH? I know you think you are ALL safe drivers (yeah, right...look at my 1st entry!), but if you were, you wouldn't be on the phone while driving! If I am wrong, someone let me know, but you'd best have a good argument! Becuase!!!, holding a phone, not matter how small, blocks a great deal of your (perifial) vision, which is esseintial for .....what's the word.....DRIVING!!! If you are THAT important, then you can pull over to the side of the road and talk! If you are THAT important, people will wait for you! HELL, you have a phone! When you are done with your mega-important call, you can call whoever you are going to see, call them and let them know you are goning to be a tad late! I bet they won't mind....just pull over to do it!!!! Now, I personally wouldn't mind if you you were to use a speaker phone: both of you hands are free, there is nothing blocking you vision (except, maybe, your big hair (Southerners) or ego (self-important So Cal-ians), and the only draw back is that people might think you are talking to yourself! OH, Shed a tear! At least you're not getting caught with you finger in your nose! But believe me -- you are not so important that someone has to die just so that you can confirm your appointment to have the pimples on your ass popped!

Later!

you seem to of summed up my feelings on cell phones quite nicely so i will continue on with more pet peeves of mine when it comes to driving..i will try to keep them short ..here goes....
1) driving while reading the paper (do you think they print it with dissapearing ink or something??!!)
2)sticking one foot out the window while driving (just because your significant other has a foot fetish does not mean the rest of us do and if it is due to oder WASH THEM!!)
3) putting on makeup while driving (trust me on this one, if you have to finish your makeup in the car then you are beyond help!!)
4) doing your hair while driving (see #3 and insert hair for makeup)
5) bebopping with both hands waving fervently while driving (if the urge to dance is that bad you need proffesional help!!)
i would go on but this list would get unbelievably long so i will stop here

these will work in forum posting but not in user pages for user pages you have to do the html code (which by the way is slightly different here and is known as h2g2ml so be sure and go to that link i gave you to show you how to h2g2)

Yesterday on my way home from work, I was on the freeway. There was an onramp and a car that was trying to merge. I thought I'd be nice and let this person in, but they were going incredibly slow (not something you should do when trying to merge, at least in my opinion). I ended up passing this person and saw that they had a phone stuck to their ear. A bit later, they were off the phone and going the normal speed limit. What is that? If you're talking on the phone, you have to go 20 MPH? Just thought I'd share.
