Can You Hear Me Now?

I apologize, my dear readers, if this topic seems as cutting edge as an idea for a new vampire movie, or new TV series about vampires, but I can't keep ignoring it any longer. Also, I realize that I am making a gross generalization here but, hey, my blog is predicated on making such generalizations. Right?

With that being said--what is it about women and their refusal to use a hands-free device with their cell phones while driving? Ladies, plugging in an earpiece into your cell phone is no more difficult than putting a toilet seat down after urinating. We, men, are constantly being scrutinized for that, along with other minor infractions--such as, taking out the trash in a timely manner, or putting our dirty clothes into the hamper. However, none of these nasty little habits of ours, mind you, puts lives in danger. Granted, installing a Bluetooth device is slightly more involved, but it's no more involved than, say, picking up a bath towel from the bathroom floor after we are done using it. Again, this little bad habit of ours has yet to induce an 8 car pile up.

The ironic thing is that if you are dating a woman or even married, it's damn near impossible to get them to answer their cell phones. If I were to call Mrs. Sux in the City right now, I'd have a better chance of seeing a 6 page Playboy spread of Susan Boyle than getting my wife to answer her cell phone. By the way, Mrs. Sux in the City yells at her mother for not answering her cell phone. That is known as poetic justice, my friends.

While we are at it, what is with putting on make-up while you are driving? Sure, men rarely stop and ask for directions, but you'd be hard pressed to find a guy doing his hair or putting deodorant on during his commute into work. Let's be honest though, I would much rather have women talking on their cell phones than putting eyeliner on while they are driving. Eyes tend to be a very important component of safe driving--at least they were when I took Driver's Ed.

OK ladies, I'll leave it up to you. You can either A.) Keep talking on your cell while driving and continue endangering the lives of drivers around you & stop pointing out our obvious faults, or B.) Buy a Bluetooth, use it, and keep the lives of drivers around you safer & continue pointing out our obvious faults, but you can't have both!
