These idiots who have the phone glued to their ears while driving push me to the point that I want to "stand my ground" with them. When you are behind them, they seem to just keep lowing down, then you move to pass them and they speed up 15 MPH, all the while never interrupting their conversation, which undoubtedly was a discussion of a cure for cancer, solution to world peace or some other equally weighty matter. Makes me want to push them into the ditch.

a nickel for every time I told one to "hang up and walk." The woman whose recent fall in front of a subway is a stand-up comedian who was joking about the incident from her hospital bed. As if it only impacted her and her phone. Train operators and first responders shouldn't have to put up with these self-involved twits.

Finish the job, Charles. You can't improve the gene pool by letting these morons live to reproduce.
