Big guy.. I knew there was a reason I like you!!!! If not for work I would not have a phone at all....
I am on call 24/7... I am responsible for the up keep of 3 manufacturing facillities... all calls from the alarm company ( flood alarm and waste treatment, loss of electricity etc.) as well as any manufacturing/machine break downs get fielded to me.. I dont care if the plant is on fire... it can wait until I'm not behind the wheel..
Just tonight, in Reading square , I sat through a light cycle because the young lady in front of me was pre occupied with her phone... I stood pat.. she ran the light... once again dont tell me this whole thing is not dangerous...
As far as my truck, Personaly I am fine, pissed.. yes but fine,I even continued on to go fishing, the passengers side was ripped open like somneone used a can opener, luckily, for me, I had the insurance and the means to replace the truck(I love the new one)...I'm quite sure that one of the other two cars he hit when he dropped his phone in his lap were not as lucky, one was a young single mother...Judging from her tears and words, I'm sure replacing her vehicle is going to be a big burden...
I know I'm old fashioned and refuse/fight change, technology keeps the world moving... everything has it's place, and IMHO, texting , and and in some cases, even talking on the phone is best left to places where the text/conversation will not/can not effect others...
