Pet Peeve

Today....driving into work...there was a woman talking on her cell phone and putting on mascara at the same time. Some people would call this multi-tasking. I just call it stupidity. Needless to say, she was driving like "poo". Terrible. Horrendous. Just darn awful. All over the road and slamming on her brakes. Due to the traffic flow, I couldn't get away from her either. Seemed every time I stopped at a light, she was right there beside me. I have come to the conclusion this is one of my biggest pet peeves....Multi-tasking while driving. Seriously, I've seen readers, eaters, talkers, child rearing (and that includes diaper changing), fighting, and most notably, the drivers who are applying their make-up....all while driving or sitting at a traffic light. I just don't understand. How can they be defensive drivers when their knees are doing all the work? How can I be a defensive driver when their knees are doing all the work? What I would give for a 5 minute commute! WHY PEOPLE? WHY?
