A crash course in phone texting

Here’s a piece of friendly advice. Don’t type text messages on your cell phone while you’re drunk and heading towards a moving train. Texting while driving is nearly as bad as using curling irons or applying mascara. I have been behind someone using a curling iron while they’re driving. I have no idea what people who do things like this are thinking! What part of having a metal tube that is 300-400ºF just inches from your head while you’re steering a death machine that weighs 3000lbs makes you pretty sure it’s a safe thing to do?

Texting causes you to take your eyes off the road (or both roads if you’re drunk and seeing double) to see what your typing. Oh yeah, and you’re TYPING. This takes two hands… that should be on the steering wheel. Gosh, it’s been a good 23 years since I took my driver’s test, but I’m pretty sure they would have docked me if I was steering with my knees.

Sweet baby Jesus on a cracker! Can you keep your hands at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel for 10 freaking minutes while you drive home, you nut jobs? Is that too much to ask?

Ka-chow!
