The sad truth is, just like drunk drivers they usually end up unscathed and kill someone else. I was following well behind a guy the other day and he was weaving all over the place - from the shoulder to oncoming traffic. We were on a two lane city street! I pull up next to him to make a right-hand turn at a stop light and, you guessed it, he's f&*(ing texting. DB.

no one wants to sit there and have someone totally ignore the group.

There is just a general lack of courtesy and good manners these days. I would say that its all young people but when it comes to cell phones its people my age also.(46) I try make it a point to turn mine down in restaurants because I dont want to be the interruption. Others blab away about nothing. I have to avoid confrontation these days but just once I wish I could take that phone and stomp hell out of it.
