Tragic Irony: Teen Dies While Texting The Dangers of Texting and Driving

[apples and oranges]

Taylor Sauer, a college student driving home on a lonely road, was texting with a friend via Facebook when her car crashed into a tanker truck at 80 miles per hour, killing her instantly. The tragic irony of the situation was revealed in her phone records shortly after: At the time of the accident, she had been texting about the dangers of texting and driving.

Her last message, sent moments before the crash on Jan. 14, said, "I can't discuss this now. Driving and facebooking is not safe! Haha."

According to the phone records, Sauer, 18, was posting on Facebook about every 90 seconds.

4. some moran almost walked into me on the sidewalk

as if he didn't have to look where he's going.

What's the polite way to say DON'T RUN INTO ME?

Put a "please" in front?

Narcissistic, brain addled idiots.

Driving 80 and not aware of the tanker? Yikes

5. Ironical? Perhaps.

Darwin Award? Slam dunk.

6. Have some class, come on.

Nothing classier than making snarky comments about tragic deaths.

You're probably not a parent, huh?

7. Not irony. Not tragedy. Melodrama.

It's an object lesson in walking your talk.

Every ninety seconds. 80mph. Darwin award. No doubt about it. Too bad for the parents, but they had 18 years to fix it and didn't.
