Maybe you should talk to the live human being in the car. Otherwise, the website may be all you have to keep you warm at night. Her comments were a warning shot...

Welp, I can't say I've checked it while at a stoplight, but just look at my post count; I'm obsessed.

Just stay safe as that's the intention of the guys giving a tough time. Besides, you should give your girlfriend some attention if she's complain about you checking the site all the time. Just my 2 cents.
yeah! talk to your girlfriend! good point!
(hint women like to be talked to,it's difficult
to get laid if ya don't!

When at a traffic light you should still be looking at the intersection. If you develop a blind instinct to start driving once you catch green with your peripheral vision while doing something else you'll end-up being t-boned by someone running yellow/red/pink light.
all "dead nuts" accurate!

I've never heard of a cop handing out a ticket for checking your phone at a redlight. In Texas it is illeagal to be messing with your phone in your hand while driving, but perfectly legal to mess with it at a stop light.

It's kind of comical all these stiffs getting so ridiculously butthurt over someone checking their phone at a redlight.

If my bitch even opened her mouth (Not typical because its filled with cake or ice cream) I'd back hand her so meticulously that her tearful reaction would be the subject of my camera lens.

When you sit at a red light and read the phone how do you know what's happening behind you? I wouldn't assume that everyone coming to the intersection is going to stop.. You must have a lot of faith in other drivers.. for all we know, they could be preoccupied with their phones, hair or makeup! Or maybe someone lost their brakes..
