so today, I am going down a 4 lane road, and there is this honda civic in the fast lane swerving. I pull up next to it in the slow lane, and there is some 20ish guy just texting away with both hands. I watch him for a bit, he looked up every few seconds. He never saw me, until I blew my horn, and yelled at him (he had the window down). It scared him so badly that he almost threw his phone out the window... was funny as hell.

I know, I could have caused him to wreck, blah blah blah

If the window was down, you should have thrown a live wolverine into his car.

It's ridiculous how mainstream this is becoming.

How can people not realize that it's the same concept as not reading a book while driving? If it really can't wait another second but you can't be bothered to call just effing pull over.

Just people who do that in general who are oblivious to their surroundings.. like standing in a doorway blocking people while they text, or 1000 other times they could just gtfo of the way and do it.

I'd rather someone drive stoned than drive while texting. At least the stoned driver is keeping his eyes on the road.

the people who stop in the doorway of the grocery store to gather up their children make me want to murder them and their children.

I do too. But then I feel bad, because they kind of have to do that, because they have children that are too retarded to figure out how to go through a doorway.

The people who stop in the middle off a hallway or right in front of a stairway or some other high-traffic area to chat with their friends.

I want to just walk right between them

I DO walk right between them. I do the same to people who stop in the middle of a shopping aisle and block the aisle with their carts and stretch to grab something. I'll either shove their cart out of the way or walk straight through their outstretched arm.

As far as texting while driving. It's illegal here in PA.

I'm generally bothered by people that are oblivious to anything other than themselves and their issues. I try to be courteous to the point nobody ever has to say excuse me in a store and I always have been the same way with keeping my kids out of the way.

It's illegal here as well but people do it constantly (I don't but I'm usually only on the road for 5-10 minutes anyways.)

I read texts while driving and sometimes reply with "ok" or w/e if I am meeting someone somewhere. Don't really gaf if its illegal.
