People engaged in the operation of a motor vehicle have no business
whatsoever taking one hand off the wheel so they can wave it animatedly in
their conversation with unseen voices.
In the meantime, if you really truly hate someone, be sure to run right out
and buy them one of those cellphones with a 2-way text pager (blackberry,
etc) and turn them on to Instant Messaging.
Then start up an incredibly interesting "chat" when you know for a fact
they're about to merge onto the Beltway...
