The other day I drove with a friend who was checking her Blackberry and texting the whole ride.
At one point I was gripping the sides of the seat and not daring to take my eyes off the road, so at least one of us would be alert in case of anything unexpected!
I am soooo not a fan of texting and driving. I just don't get it.
The way I see it, it wasn't that long ago that we didn't even have cell phones. Now we can't make a 15 minute drive without having to type messages to each other? I'm thinking most of this stuff can wait a little bit until we get to a parked position.
I mean you can't possibly be looking at the road if you're looking at this tiny keyboard in the palm of your hand.
But that pales in comparison to the actions of this Darwin Awards survivor. I don't mean to be mean, but you see for yourself if a different ending would have made her a Darwin Award candidate.
On Friday Megan Barnes, 37, crashed into the back of a 2006 Chevrolet pickup. She didn't notice it had slowed to about 5 mph to make a turn, because she had been shaving her bikini line.
Apparently Megan had a date with her boyfriend and wanted "to be ready for the visit".
Ahem...
