Another cell phone gabber

I was driving down an interstate yesterday when I saw somebody merging from an on-ramp. This person was going horribly slow, not at all matching the flow of traffic. I was forced to shift into another lane to avoid hitting her. The roads were fairly clear, which was good for me. Still, it doesn't excuse her failing to match the speed of the traffic.

As I passed, I saw that she was gabbing away on her cell phone. That explained a lot.

Unlike some drivers, I don't get furious at drivers who talk on their cell phones. I do ask, however, that they avoid slowing down horribly as they do so. Keep pace with the traffic if you plan to gab away, folks.

At times like these, I wish I had an EMP device that I could use to blast these phones into pieces. I would use the same gizmo on people who insist on blasting their radios away at full volume. Ugh.
