No matter what time I leave for work, I always end up getting there at 9:15am. If I leave at 8:45, I get there at 9:15. If I leave at 9:00, I get there at 9:15. I even once left at 8:30, and I swear to the Gods, I hit every freaking red light and didn’t get there until 9:15. And it’s never a smooth ride. So here are some annoyances I have gathered from the road.
Drivers on cell phones who spend the whole time in the left hand lane gabbing on their phone instead of pulling out so that when I beep them and they give me a dirty look, they are able to go through the yellow light and I am not because there is a cop on the other side of the street WHO IS ON A CELL PHONE!!
Also, the woman who is pushing the two-children stroller AND walking a dog AND on her cell phone WHILE trying to cross a busy four-intersection roadway. If you can’t put down the cell phone to CROSS THE FREAKIN’ STREET, THEN DON’T WALK!
Ugh.
This got me thinking about all the other things that annoy me about cell phones:
Cops who pass people obviously on cell phones and/or texting, but manage to pull over people doing 45 in a 35 zone.
Voice-activated texting…really?! It’s called a CELL PHONE, not a TEXTER.
Texting while at the restaurant table. Ok, this is two-fold. If you’re with your family and/or significant other, who you see every single week/day and have nothing to talk about, ok. If you are looking up something that you are talking about that will aid in the conversation, ok. If you’re a doctor or celebrity, ok. But when I see kids who shouldn’t even have a cell phone to begin with playing a game or texting or whatever, I just want to shake their parents and be like, talk to you kid!!! Then I see their parents are also on cell phones, and…don’t even get me started!
Bottom line: get a headset or speakerphone, and stop annoying me!
