Seems like you could solve this problem yourself!

I drive a roadster, arguably the most fun style of car ever created for public streets. I'm not taking public transportation any time soon. If she gets hit, that's her problem, not mine.

What's happening now is only the tip of the iceberg. As the next generation--which is more computer-saturated than any in previous human history--comes along, the idiotic things they do because they're not paying attention to their whereabouts are going to increase exponentially.

Wow, she really must not have been a "real New Yorker". Otherwise I could see her sticking that stiletto heel out and tripping you!

You're right. Usually they are Jersey commuters.

the whole cell phone / texting thing here is so out of control, it really is sickening.


the driving while texting is so bad, yet people dont realize that.
It sickens me when i see middle age adults texting while driving, and you know it is a dumb text that is probably worthless.


yeah, I am around the block, be there in like 5 min.


something on that order.

You got THAT right! I was heading in to work on the F train the other day, and shortly before the train went underground at Church Avenue, a woman sitting across the car from me whipped out a cell phone and made the following quick call: "Hello? I'm on the subway."

I didn't realize that current protocol requires one to report their whereabouts at all times. (But you may have to cut me a little slack for not being up on current protocol; I am one of the last remaining human beings on the continent without a cell phone).

The "best" I ever ran into was a guy in a movie theatre. He was a big guy, spread out over several seats and had a couple of skinny flashily-dressed ladies with him. He was constantly making and taking phone calls during the movie, and at one point he tells the other party "Yeah, I'm at work right now."
