While driving through the neighborhood a couple days ago, my eye caught a pretty young lady walking her dog. She was on her cell phone, oblivious to her surroundings, while her dog sniffed and prepped around a mailbox with a prominent sign which read, “NO DOG WALK.”
Priceless.
Dang, if I only got a photo!
What is it about cell phones that makes us lose our minds?
I remember when Bluetooth ear pieces first came out. I was minding my own business one day, shopping in a clothing store, when I spied a lady with long hair talking out loud to nobody there. My mind drifted back to years ago when I saw many who walked the streets of New York City doing the same thing. But that was before Bluetooth.
Is she nuts? Oh … she’s talking to someone on her cell phone!
I must admit, I am guilty of the brain cell loss caused by cell phones.
“Oh, no! I just missed my turn! Gotta go!”
I reel around in a U-turn, with fellow road warriors muttering, “Crazy lady!”
Yes, cell-phone-induced stupidity.
Any other cell phone stupidity admissions out there?
