I got that beat Riri ;’}

I’m at the entry of a parking lot waiting on traffic so I can make a right turn onto the arterial.

This female driving a large SUV on my left drifts over towards the curb and it becomes apparent that she intends to make a right turn into the parking lot. As she comes into the critical path to make her arc I see (with alarm!) that she isn’t turning sharply enough and I am now in fear of being hit by her.

It’s at this point that I can see that she has her cell in one hand and the wheel in the other and she can only crank the wheel over so far because she isn’t able to hand~over~hand!

I brace myself for the impact and at the past second she slams on the brakes and slides to a stop within inches of me.

She risked accident and injury versus dropping her damned phone!

Oh my...did she even look ashamed? Startled at her own idiocy?

Probably not.

I truly believe a lot of people are living fantasy lives on their phone. I have a childhood friend on my Facebook. I notice that she's taken to editing her photos more and more. She posted one the other day, that is so edited, it's ridiculous. She completely blurred out her ear lobe trying to make herself look, I dunno, 20? My daughter and I were analyzing it---in disbelief someone could be this bizarre. Then, like, 100 people will get on and comment how young she looks (she's in her 40s). I notice, too, a lot of them are men. Men in foreign countries, men from the other side of the country. Men she doesn't even know in real life. It's so weird to me.

I think that has a lot to do with the phone addiction. You can be whatever you want online. A complete diversion from reality.

Here’s a crazy bad parking job. BUT - she does get points for never letting go of her cell phone to her ear!
