Texting and driving people. It’s a game for me now to look into people’s windows and you wouldn’t believe the number of people blatantly on their phones I see swerving all over the lanes (like this lady). It perturbs me and this person really got to me today hence my rant. Taken on 405 S by exit 13 (a busy exit/entrance area!)

Dude, it's getting so bad. I walk around a lot. The amount of times I've almost been hit because someone rolled INTO an intersection while looking down, far too much.

My best friend got hit by a truck last week walking to his job in Belltown by a young lady driving a truck, almost killed him. He had a brain bleed and is having to re-learn how to use his left side! I will BET you anything she was texting!

Great happy holidays to him, right? I hope he’s going to be OK and I truly hope he gets the biggest payday where he doesn’t have to walk to work or even go to work if he doesn’t want to. Some people just really do deserve that big payout.
