These are some
damn ignorant dangerous mother****ers, or damn stupid dangerous mother****ers. It's either ignorance or stupidity for people who do this. I have yet to see when sending a text while doing something that requires a lot of focus and attention will actually matter in a life or death scenario other than killing other people because of negligence.
As much as i denounce the practice of texting while driving, few actually agree with me through actually not texting while driving. A lot of people simply agree that texting while driving is bad, but continue to do so. Or others selfishly get passionately angry when they disagree, defending their practice to be a dangerous asshole on the road because they can't fathom being disconnected from their gadget and would rather have the preference of continuing to be stupid or ignorant. All for the sake of the perceived conveniences of texting while driving (I bet a lot of this has to do with self entitlement with the continued practice for passionately angry and wrong idiots).
The great thing is now people are taking pictures of it
As far as needing to always respond to a phone call and text 24/7. What's the point, i've always thought. I don't let devices that are designed to bother me, bother me so much by not staying connected to them. Some of my old buddies have lost me as a friend because of this. I always loved how these people always made it seem like i go home to enter a room where there's nothing but me and the hypersleep chamber. And that i always wake up from hypersleep just to respond to a text or phone call, and then immediately go back to hyper sleep until i get another text message. These people got angry when i mentioned that i'm a busy guy, and there's more important things than being tied to my phone and letting it control me (let alone them controlling me). The animosity of my noncompliance really hit the wall when these people continued to insist i was never busy so much so that i moved out of state (**** alaska). That's right, the stress free life of not worrying about if my best friend just brushed his teeth via phone, traded itself in for stress in real life by those demanding teeth brushers (we all brush our teeth every night, who cares; if you don't, have fun with dentures and i still don't care).
These old friends use to be people who respected my wishes to all who became co-dependent on my strength as an individual and not respecting my wishes (i don't know why they chose to eventually have no ambition, goals, and eliminate high standards from their lives; when they had none of theirs, they sure wanted mine in lack of themselves, never did they improve). The only wish i had was leave me alone when i want to be left alone, which eventually turned into a leave me alone and never talk to me again whether you like it or not.
What does my little story have to do with anything here at the end? If you can't not be away from devices like your phone, computer, tablet...internet for more than 5 minutes, then you are addicted to them, and will most likely participate with these devices on the road. If people panic because their phone is lot, it should be because they were expecting an important call or text message. An important call or text message is not finding out that app you have to find out if scruffy is ok on your home cameras every 2 seconds, getting a text message about an egg going bad if you have a smart egg tray in your fridge, finding out that your ex is going out with a new guy, or constantly ignoring the fact that surfing the net on a 2x3 inch screen is inefficient as all hell (i know, there's bigger screens now, usability didn't change much). Perhaps these people don't understand what bull**** it is to punish a friend over not replying or not even wanting to reply to a text (yeah, get your head tore off because you didn't text back "k").
If people are potentially certifiably crazy and in other cases insane because of their portable devices. Then a lot don't realize it, and i certainly don't want you on the road with me since you can't separate bull**** from the important stuff. This leads many unable to separate their phone from their driving, let alone other activities. If someone gets me into a wreck because they were bull****ting with their phone, if i am able and uninjured, i will kick their ass for their piss poor example of what is important and what is not. I'm pretty sure that would be the only thing to get it through their head on not how they wronged me, and possibly other people, and how much they cost me money and possibly others with something so easily preventable (then maybe then, that person won't be thinking about themselves; i do doubt that this person would be unable to realize that i can't pick cars off trees). I probably sound a bit extreme, but with possibly being seen as having a lack of sympathy and empathy, i would call the person who kills people unintentionally while driving on their phone just as cold.
To put it in a weird great way. Whenever you take a driving test to qualify for a drivers license, part of the test is not bring your cell phone with you and try to manage it while driving. It's not part of the test, you'd fail if you brought out your cell phone with the driving instructor in the vehicle while driving. The most the instructor should see you do is toss it in the trunk or glove box, or just leave it in your pocket. If you want to have your head torn off for not replying to your buddy brushing their teeth, do it after you get your license when you're never driving
