    Hand held devices

    At a light, the second the lady next to me pulls up it's out with her phone. After a few seconds of me staring, she rolls down her window and says, "What?"

    "Can't you put that thing down?" I say. "I'm at a light," is her excuse.

    Light turns, she starts rolling (without putting the phone down, of course). The other side one car behind me is a NYC police car. I hit my horn, pointing at phone lady and trying to get his attention. I'm thinking, "I gave her the finger, now you give her the ticket."

    But I can't get his attention. Can you guess why?

    You can't make this **** up!

    Best to just not let it get you riled up, because the idiots in cages far outnumber us. Adapt and survive.

      Cop was probably on HIS phone!

      Speaking of "hand held devices", doesn't that include tazers?

        My hand held device is either my steering wheel or my handlebars.

          Cop was playing with his smartphone. Life in the 21st century...

            Yep-- I see it everyday as I commute at the time when a lot of clerical workers (typically women) are also going to their respective places of employment.
            Almost everyday I see someone doing something stupid and usually it is a woman on a cell phone (or a guy looking at his)
            Once I pulled up next to a lady who had been texting and weaving for nearly 3 miles as I followed.
            Her window was open so I shouted ... "HEY !" and startled her pretty bad,
            I told here that texting and driving is illegal and dangerous and she told me to Shut the F up...
            I yelled at here that it is people like her that kill people like me and claim "I never saw him" ...

              How about this one:

              Teen girl, on her phone, left foot up and out the window.

              Saw this around the corner last spring.

                Isn't that an oxymoron?

                  I wondered where the driver's right foot was?

                    She was the driver. Alone in her car - I guess that's why she felt the need to be talking on her (not hands-free) phone.

                    And her left leg up and on the door may have been blocking her side-view mirror, but it looked and felt so cool, your honor.

                    "I understand, young lady. $200 fine and no points on your license."

                    "Thank you. Will you take my father's check?"

                    I'm joking, of course. She used her father's credit card.
