The other day, the Czarina and I were nearly hit by a moron merging onto I-35 from a highway onramp. He had what I refer to as "the Darwin Awards secret handshake": he was holding his cell phone with his right hand to his left ear and using his left hand to drive, while attempting to look for traffic to his left. Not only could he not really handle that issue, but as the Czarina got around him, he slowed down even further and blocked off a whole gaggle of drivers, and I was fearing that I'd witness a ten-car pileup. I'm not kidding in the slightest: we had to slow down to 30 mph to hit our exit, and this guy dropped below that before moving to the fast lane.
