New peeve thread???

[popcornbird]

I don't feel the need to justify it at all. I will talk on my cell phone while I drive for whatever reason I want, regardless of some people's peeves about it. It is legal here, and I like it. What gets me is people not looking behind the cell phone to see that maybe there is a reason the person is driving erratic. Maybe they just stink at driving!

Johanna, I didn't mean you need to justify it! I don't see anything wrong at all with talking on the phone while driving...I do it myself. It is not a pet peeve of mine. I was refering to my brother justifying it (to my dad) because my dad always tells him to concentrate while driving and not yak so much, so I meant that he justifies his cell phone usage when someone tells him he shouldn't. Not that he needs to justify it...I don't see anything wrong with it. Perhaps I should've used another word, as I didn't quite mean 'justify' as it seems. I talk on the phone while driving myself. Just not that much. Its just what you were saying totally reminded me of my brother.
