Picking Your Nose

Oh, for pity’s sake. I’m trying to see if anybody reads this stuff and picking your nose seemed like a good way to get your attention.

However great picking your nose is over blowing it in a socially acceptable manner into a tissue I’d like to point out that though we wouldn’t think about picking our noses in public people do it in their cars all the time. What’s up with that?

People tend to think they are private in their cars. This feeling of being private has, unfortunately, extended itself to talking on cell phones. All the time I see people who work in the bank across the street from where I work on the sidewalks with their cell phones talking about what I can only think are confidential sorts of things. They stepped outside to be private.

And, interestingly enough, sometimes people who yak away on cell phones with their really private business are sometimes quite loud. Whatever it is that makes their connection not so great the person on the other end can hear them better if they holler? Right. So can everybody else around them.

Come July, 2008 in California it will be against the law to hold onto a cell phone while you’re driving. It’s gonna be fish in a barrel for police handing out tickets.
