Hey Dude, Don't Run Over Mom with Your Car!

Ok, to the guy the other day talking on his cell phone while driving I've had it. It's not that I am not also guilty of cell phone talking and driving. It's not that I've never made a mistake before. Heck, most of us with cell phones and cars have talked while driving. Some people though (I'm talking to you buddy!) just shouldn't do it. Ever thought maybe mom doesn't want you to run her over in the parking lot?

What happened? I could see it coming, which is why I slowed my walk and tried to make eye contact. You didn't look at me until I was standing right next to your window. Walking up to the store I saw the pretty young lady with the very nice body walking about 15 feet in front of me. So I walked carefully knowing that this was the military base and lots of young men around. I don't blame you too much, she was pretty. But hey, there IS actually a reason the base has a rule about cell phones and driving and you fully demonstrated why. Maybe not fully though as you didn't actually hit me.

It was pretty funny to see you turning your head watching her and talking on your phone as you slowly kept driving. I walked carefully and slowly waiting for you to finally turn and see me or to at least drive fast enough to go past me. So you saw me when I was standing 5 feet away from your driver's side window. Then without a "oops, sorry" you sped up and drove away.

I'm pretty sure your own mom (yeah, I'm probably her age) did not raise you to be so rude or to run over people. Just a little "oh sorry" or a wave would have counted a lot. Really though, get off the cell phone when driving. You are not responsible enough, you proved it. Next time you will probably hurt someone.

Seriously though dude, don't run over mom with your car.
