Today I answered my phone while pulling out of a parking spot (dumb move, I know) and due to the car’s TERRIBLE turning radius and this guy being WAY TOO CLOSE to my car while I was trying to pull out (not due to the fact that I was on a phone) I had to make a 3pt turn out of the parking spot. So the guy starts SCREAMING at me for the next 3 minutes straight to get off the phone. Seriously screaming. Like my windows were up and it sounded like he was in my car with me. I understand I shouldn’t have been on the phone, I grabbed my phone instinctually when it rang and it ended up being an old employer who I couldn’t just hang up on. It was a little mistake after a long day of work, and anyway his yelling was FAR more distracting than my phone conversation. Bottom line: Yes, drivers should not be on the phone but YELLING at someone does NOT help the problem, just aggravates it. And don’t police people unless you are the police.
