Today, I had to stop by the new house on my way to work to pick up granite counter top samples. On the adjacent street, there was some road construction going on and a police officer helping with traffic flow.
After I stopped at the house, I was coming back down the adjacent road, on the phone (wishing a friend a happy birthday)…bluetooth hands free…both hands on the wheel. I get up to where the police officer is…he walks over to my window…knocks on the window…and then the following happens…
“Are you on the phone?”
[ Is it illegal to use a cell phone in a car? I'm using hands-free. I've got both hands on the wheel ]
“Yes”
[ Ignores answer ]
“How do you like this car?”
[ Umm... ]
“I love it. Smooth like a regular car, ‘tough’ like an SUV.”
[ Line of cars forming behind me. Birthday friend talking in my ear..."What's going on over there" ]
“Great. I was thinking of getting one. Was gonna go for the 45 but I think that’s too pricey so I’ll probably go with this one.”
[ Is this really happening? ]
“Well, you definitely should. Have a great day.”
“You too, thanks.”
So that happened…
