Roadside Assistance?
This morning as I was driving the kiddos to daycare I passed quite a sight. An elderly man possibly in his seventies was driving down the street. Nothing wrong with this picture, right? Well, he was driving around 10 MPH. This could be really frustrating to a CrAzY Working Mom who already feels like a big pile of crap who is running late getting her kids to their destination before reaching hers! The man was driving a beat up Chevrolet pick up truck that looked like he'd just drove it straight out of the junk yard. I must admit that I am not the most patient driver in the world. As I began to pass this old man and quickly realized his dilemma. He was talking on a cell phone! Yes, my friends this old man who should probably have not been driving at all was trying to yack on modern technology. The problem was that he couldn't decide which ear he wanted to put the phone to. My guess is that he forgot to turn his hearing aids on. He was switching the phone back and forth from one side to the other. This, of course is a two handed process so most of the time he was neither looking at the road in front of him nor controlling the vehicle with his hands. What a sight, 'eh? I just wonder if he reached his final destination before cruising to the ditch or if the person he was trying to talk to told him to SHUT UP AND DRIVE because I know I sure wanted to!
