In the Driver's Seat


I am becoming more and more annoyed each time I receive a call from someone who is behind the wheel of a car with the transmission in Drive.

This behavior puts the driver in control.  They talk and listen between the obstacles on the road, and of course they may disconnect when they choose, due to 'traffic congestion ahead', or worse yet, they continue to drive IN the congestion with cars on either side of them on the interstate, as well as in front and behind.... so I keep the conversation superficial and my sentences short.  When the sentences are long, or one after another, I get no feeling of being heard.  They become annoyed.  I hear it in their silence.
