I hate trixies and hipsters who text while drinking sickly sweet "coffee" beverages from starbucks or metropolis. I really hate it when they try to walk into Filter only to discover its a bank of america now.

Next law to be implimented in 2009: citations for improperly tied shoes. Seriously, does anyone remember common sense anymore?

A woman was texting and walked right into my stopped (at a stoplight) car). She was jaywalking (I was nowhere near the cross-walk) and it was raining and she had a headphone/earpiece in and she was holding an umbrella. She walked right into my side door and bounced off to the ground. I got out and asked if she was ok, to which her response was to start yelling about how "She should sue me". The guy behind me said "I'll be a witness! She's a dumbass!" Technology simply allows idiots to be idiots with great efficiency.

Nice one, Smokes. Let's just let the herd thin itself out on this one.

I hope that in the very near future, Ms. Kelly Scheiner of Streeterville is texting whilst running one of her many errands and has a "real time intro" with the front grill of a speeing Mississippi bound Mack Truck that leaves nothing left behind on the street but her silver Nordstrom bag still draped over her left forearm for shallow mindless consumer posterity.
