Deadly Distractions


This article is both sad and stupid in my opinion. i absolutely love texting (God only knows why) but one of my biggest pet-peeves is still when people text and drive. i have actually resorted to yelling random noises and smacking my friend on the arm of just taking the phone out of their hands and offering to send the text for them. I do admit i do text at work sometimes, although i only work at cvs, i don't do it in front of customers. (Plus cvs is in a bad service area so it kills my battery fast anyway). Another thing that bugs me is when i have to ring up a customers and they can't take a few seconds to get off there phone to pay for their things. its just plain rude.
The guy driving a boat and texting, well that's just bad luck. if i was on a boat in the middle of water i probably would have done the same thing especially if it concerned the near death of someone close to me. Driving a boat is different then driving a car where you don't have to be completely focused 100% of the time.
As for the woman she was just and idiot. I can't get over the fact that she left and autistic kid in a locked van for hours let alone the fact that she was texting the whole time. Her boyfriend couldn't wait til she got home to make plans? the common sense people have these days really makes me sad. if i babysit yes i will send out some texts but it takes me two seconds then I'm back to focusing my attention on the kids. texting shouldn't take up a whole day of your attention that's ridiculous.
