14 Women Applying Make-up Today On My Way Into Work!

Caught in traffic and moving about 20mph, no lie I counted over a dozen ladies putting on eye shadow, lipstick, blush. Some of them were even talking on the phone while they were doing it!

The vast majority were pretty hot, a few cows but please. Is it too much to take an additional 5 minutes before you get into the car to primp? The traffic sucks any way and its not like your that important you have to be someplace and have no time to get there.

I wonder...can you subpoena someone's phone records to show that they were on the phone at the time of the accident?

Have you seen the new Allstate Insurance TV commercials? I don't recall the exact verbiage, but to paraphrase it they basically show a bunch of idiot drivers putting on makeup or talking on the phone or reading a book or crashing into something or whatever. Then their spokesman comes on and says, "do a little less of this type of thing and we'll give you a discount on your insurance"!

"a little less"??? Just WTF are they thinking??!! It comes across as, 'We know you drive like idiots and occasionally maim and kill people in the process and that's OK once in a while, but do a little less of it and Allstate will reward you with lower rates.

No subpoena needed. Cops ask, info supplied. On TV Shows anyway!

Women on cell phones? Radio news here just said that a 5 car pileup on I-5 was caused by a bozo guy...typing on his blackberry while cruising 70+...

Do you have a swivel out table to hold your meal will while you're txt messaging? One that doesn't block the in-car TV?

I told a guy in a big Dodge it wold be a lot easier for him to use his turn signals if he hung up the phone. He didn't reply.
Sometimes I wish gas was $100/gal, maybe then people would enjoy the experience like a fine wine.
