Today I went to go to Burger King to get something to eat thru the drive thru.Another person talking on a cellphone (A guy at it)pulls into the drive thru in front of me.Well I am sitting there for about 5 minutea and I'm wondering if the person that was in front of him had ordered yet.Well come to find out the person in front of him has already left because I guess He finally is done having a conversation with whomever he is taling to on the phone for about 5 minutes with, pulls up and finally proceeds to take his order after the person comes onto the speaker to take his order.I am pissed at that time because for one he should have pulled over and finished talking wth the person before getting into the drive thru or at least looked behind him to see if anyone was behind him rather than have a conversation while someone is waiting behind him.I for one have nothing against celllphones. I think they are nice to have as long as you use them safely and responsibly.I have one myself.But I would at least pull over before pulling into a drive thru and finish my conversation rather than make someone wait.I have seen numerous people pull out in front of me and almost get hit talking on a cell phone.I am wondering do they even value their life and realize how close they were to dying ,geting hurt,or having and accident.Especialy ones that have children in the car or other adults for that matter.

I think that in our world of conveinious that people just dont seem to care about what they do to hurt others. I cant drive while I talk on a cell phone without pulling off to the side of the road, yet I see people chatting away on there cell phones while weaving in and out of traffic. The other day, while I was at the grocer, there was this guy in the checkout isle, was yelling into his phone so loud the whole store could hear him. I guess people are just rude these days and cell phones are just another reason to be rude in public. Please, keep in mind that I own a cell, but I'm far from obnoxious
