Why some people shouldn't drive...

(Dog pictured above not to scale and not necessarily the breed referenced in the following story. Dog in story was also much fluffier and sporting a much fancier hairdo.)

Driving to work the other morning, turning right on to Bloor, there was one car ahead of us, also turning right...at a glacial pace.

When this car finally turned the corner, it proceeded along at approximately 5 kms/hour. It was also weaving from side to side..

As soon as it was feasible, we moved into the other lane and passed this annoyance.

When we drove past the car, it became obvious why it was being driven so slowly (and yet dangerously) - the driver was simultaneously "driving" and talking on a cell phone - with a DOG ON HER LAP!!

What the fuck? As if talking on a cell & driving wasn't dangerous enough...

The phone was in her right hand and she was (presumably) steering with her left hand - this, however, cannot be confirmed, because the view of her left arm was obscured by the dog.

It's also important to note that this was not a small dog--it was medium-sized (and very fluffy) and it could actually see over the steering wheel from its position on the woman's lap. As you can imagine, the dog's fluffy mane significantly reduced the driver's already obstructed view of the road.

I really wanted to get out of the car, haul her ass into the street and beat some sense into her...but it was really cold that morning, so I resisted.

Bitch got lucky. Legit.
