Today's question is: Why do people answer their mobile phones while running on the treadmill?
Background: Seriously, is anything that important? I mean it can't wait until they are finished running?
Here are the problems I see with talking (or texting for that matter) while running:
1. Those around you have to listen to your entire life story as you, ever so loudly, discuss it on your personal phone call.
2. The poor person who called you not knowing you were running now has the pleasure of listening to you huff and puff while you discuss your story.
3. not paying attention while on a treadmill could cause serious injury, which would make the likes of me feel bad for making fun of you for talking in the first place.
I think answering a call while treadmilling (my new word, what do you think?) ranks up there with answering the phone during your dinner date.
Blech to both.

Ranks right up there with folks who are so important they have to use the cell phone in the bathroom, blech. What is happening to common sense and civility, I'm frightened to think where this is leading. . .shudder
