Call Me, Blondie


So today’s post is sponsored by a bugaboo:

I do not know why people feel they have to admit things that they feel make them smart on an issue, when really it makes them look dumb.

Case in point.:
In one of my classes after discussing current controversial topics, one peer raised her hand to comment on the recent passing of legislature. The law allows for police to pull over drivers who are texting.

“So yeah like last year, I got pulled over because I was driving with my knees and texting. I guess he had flashed his lights, but I didn’t see them, so he got in front of me and put on his brakes. Then the officer came up to my window and was like, “Do you know why I am pulling you over?” I had no idea, but apparently I wasn’t driving very well. So then I had to pay a $860 ticket for distracted driving. That’s why I don’t support the bill.”

Let’s just say that she gives the “dumb” Elle Woods a run for her money…. And it doesn’t help the cause that she aspires to be just like her journalist aunt, Angie Larsen. Blah-licious.

Think before you speak… especially to a group of people you do not know…

Ah ha ha ha ha! It is sad that they allow people like this to drive. I hate texting, and I rarely talk on my phone while I drive. I agree with Jen, I don't think that ticket was nearly enough.

Hear, hear. Are you really in THAT much of a hurry? I would humbly suggest that she was not.

Bahahahaha! This makes me want to go back to school so I can listen to the dumb comments and respond back to them with my bff sitting next to me. Then we would laugh and laugh and no one would understand why we are the coolest people on campus. But they would all want to be us.
