Thoughts

Why is it that you can drive next to people at or even before 7am and they will be contently engaged in what appears to be a healthy, casual conversation on their cell phone? Who on EARTH are you talking to at 7am?!? Mind you, my wake up time is generally somewhere in the 4am-5am range so I am up if you call, but is this the optimum time for chat?

The only reason I can make this acceptable in my head is when the person on the other end of the phone is also on their drive to the job. But, did you wake your friend up with news of what Bobby wore to the movies? Will Jenny just not believe what happened on American Idol last night? I would wager that she will not in fact "totally freak" when she finds out, but I could be wrong. And will she really thank you in the long run because you got the news to her first? I am from the school of thought that it can wait until normal operating hours.

Oh, and in case you did not pick up the bias I notice a grossly disproportionate number of *younger* females guilty of this as opposed to other motorists.

(That is to say nothing of text messages at this the witching hour that may or may not center around the idea of fresh produce. You should be up and expecting those.)
