(1,937 posts)and whilst many might feel that correct for one reason or another
and in some moods i may agree with them
one reason being i'm often on a bicycle (i have a Florida license. I prefer to ride a bicycle often. i'm read up on the rules of traffic for bicycles and follow them (pre-empting the bicycle hater crowd))
i've been known to tap windows after people almost hit me (or in some cases hit me lightly or brush me (ever been brushed by a car moving at 50mph? it's a sweet sweet kiss of pain, like a lovers touch by hellspawn))
and (this is in Florida where the castle law applies to cars, actually i think the law says vehicles. perhaps I should start packing on my bicycle ;-p )
conversation often along these lines
me:are you a doctor?
them:no?
me:not in the middle of saving the earth or a life in phone directed surgery?
them: no dumbass!
me: so no one is dying on the other end of the phone?
them: NO IDIOT!
me: someone almost did here, and if you don't hang up, the opportunity still exists
same same for people who can't get an ok car stereo
definition of ok car stereo == lets you listen to music and still hear traffic
not definition == put earphones from phone in and crank volume, headbang to music!
i like headbanging but seriously, not in traffic!
