So, I have to admit, I’m not a texter. I had tried to text maybe twice in my entire life. Mockarena and Holmes are King and Queen of the Texting Court, however, and they continue to persist that I join their bandwagon-O-text. I get why they like it…it covers the need for human contact yet involves no actual human contact. And I am not a fan of long phone conversations. Even as a pre-teen (the time in your life when you are supposed to sit on the phone and listen to another person breathe) I would never voluntarily call someone. Still to this day, I would rather meet with someone face to face, or email to email than have an hour long call. I save all of my calls for the highway. Yes, I am that girl on her cell phone traveling at a high rate of speed. But, I ask you, isn’t saving all of my calls for the road much MUCH better than this guy?

Unbelievable! In addition to being gobsmacked by that guy’s behavior, I’m now having flashbacks from traveling in Egypt, where drivers squeeze into any sorta-kinda available space just like they do in India. Nerve-wracking!
I felt like I needed to move my chair over cause that car was getting so close
This is a severe case of road rash waiting to happen.
@wordwych…ha ha…gobsmacked…I only hear that word from English people, as in from England. Not a frequent American term. But one of my fave foreign words.
I am a person of average texting ability myself.
sbarros, chalk it up to watching too much Gordon Ramsay. My favorite Gordon-isms are “gobsmacked” (which I try to incorporated into my speech at least once a week), “In the s**t,” and “WHEN IT’S BROWN IT’S COOKING, WHEN IT’S BLACK IT’S F**KED!!!”
I can’t stand when you are with someone and all they do is text instead of acknowledging your existence. It is so rude.
Unfortunately, it’s epidemic.

I’m a texter since I have teenagers and that’s all they do, but I DON’T do it while I’m driving! Scary scary stuff!
