Last Saturday when me and a buddy got back from Bullwinkle hunting we were at the local Freddie's fueling up the boat. While fueling a old fart came around the end of the fuel island towing a trailer that was obviously too long for his level of experience. I told my buddy that he looked like a wreck waiting to happen especially since he was on his cell phone :rant . Well he somehow managed to miss the back of my boat as he went around. As I tuned to my buddy and said that was a surprise that he missed my boat the whole truck and boat lurched. I walked to the front of my buddy's new 06' F350 PSD to find this guys trailer embedded in the grill guard. The old fart gets out with his cell phone still in hand and asks if we are OK. I cannot repeat what I told him but it had to do with where his phone needed to be hung up. Good part of the story is that the heavy duty grill guard only suffered a minor cosmetic blemish but the side of the idiots boat and trailer fender were in need of some serious repair. As he drove off he was back on the phone and about took the hood off another car. Strangest part was that this guy had to have been at least 70 years old.

some people don`t need to be talking on a cell phone, to have bad driving habits....some people just shouldn`t drive at all.....:D

I second the motion of air/train horns.

Just alittle story about horns and cell phone using girls. I was outside our Wal-mart while the wife went inside to get a few things.

About 5 or 6 young girls came out of Wally world,all of them on their pretty little pink cell phones just gabbin' away. I waited until they had just past my truck, and the

it was funny, what do you want me to say. I didnt give them the full blast of air, just a little squirt. The girls got a good laugh out of it too. They never even knew from what directions it came from.


You cant tell me that you wouldnt have done the same thing. ;)

I hate getting behind some soccer mom doin 40 mph in the left and she's in her on little world.

completely oblivious to the outside world.

when i take the kids to school in the moring, its around 7:25 am when we start to hit traffic. almost 75% of the moms are on their cell phones.

who in the world are they talking to at 7:30 in the morning?!

I'm real anal when it comes to school zones! I sure wouldn't mind seeing the already high fines doubled if you get stopped for speeding in a school zone AND talking on a cell. When young children are walking around, EVERYONE should be even more focused on the road and what's going on around them.:rant

Rant-off. ;)

I think you are missing something here. I WASNT in a school zone, I was in a parking lot at WAL-MART.

Just like Cooter would say, I maybe crazy, but I aint dumb.

Look at the post that I first wrote about this story I was telling.

come on fellas, get it right before you start accusing me of something like that.

And all of them were teenagers and in high school

I'm not picking on you, Bama. I just didn't get it. I guess having a horn from a train on your pick-up could come in handy if someone's drifting into your lane or some similar situation.
