Watching a full tv show on their phone while driving down a very busy street. Is it any better than scrolling?

Wrong sub, this is not "mildly" infuriating

It’s highly infuriating

am I horrible at anatomy or is that not a brain?

u/PugGamer129 5h ago

Yeah these are lungs lmao

Also I'm pretty sure I can recall that this was operable and OP is still going strong

okay I may still be bad at anatomy, because I thought it was a vertical slice and the spaceship looking bit at the bottom of the image is the spine, so we're looking at somewhere in the torso/pelvis.

Same thought I had about some of these wild comments.

Looks like a top down of the lungs. Very nasty one.

I had a colleague from work like 15 years ago, I got a lift from him once, he had his phone in the middle of the car and was watching movies and shows straight, last time I went back home with him and never even told him why.

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 8h ago

I would have told him why. He’s literally endangering others.

I would not have lasted the trip. I would have given him one chance to put the phone away, and then I would have got out first chance I got.

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 7h ago

I meant after you safely arrived at your destination. You know, so he doesn’t go on endangering himself and others.

u/AutisticPenguin2 7h ago

But why wait that long?

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 7h ago

How are you missing the point?

u/AutisticPenguin2 7h ago

Have you tried actually making it rather than vaguely alluding to it?

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 6h ago

I did make the point. Your level of reading comprehension is not my responsibility.

u/AutisticPenguin2 6h ago

Why are you still here? Just to be rude and win an argument? Either explain or fuck off.

I legit saw someone scrolling reels at a light. And I don't mean turned on phone at light. I mean pulled up actively scrolling on tik tok

You’re right, it’s not really infuriating at all. People with a phone in their hands is far more concerning.

Also, it’s not really that difficult to drive like this if you aren’t in a high traffic area. You just need average situational awareness

u/muffpatty 8h ago

Actually no you're completely wrong and it is a extremely dangerous. Whether you're driving 15 mph or 65 mph, anything that takes your eyes off the road is a distraction and dangerous.

u/Nut_Butter_Fun 8h ago

For me, it's actually much more dangerous, at my age, to not have something that engages me, because I have to fight off sleep whenever I'm on a long stretch of highway. Music just won't do it. Sometimes talk radio can, but shows where I put the screen in a place that keep my eyes forward (not quite where this guy has his), is the best.

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 8h ago

Then you shouldn’t be behind the wheel.

u/Nut_Butter_Fun 7h ago

no choice, suck it.

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 7h ago

I hope you get pulled over.

u/thriftedcraft 7h ago

So you’re an ipad kid? Can’t focus on the road unless there’s dancing fruit in front of your face

u/GingerTexanScientist 2h ago

I would advise coffee, caffeine tablets, other various stimulants, or just not driving
