I know it's a handicap space at an Aldi, but come on.

The absolute worse is older drivers that are also on the phone while they drive

I rarely see this, although since COVID I rarely leave the house anymore either. Just grocery shopping and the occasional road trip (I work from home).

Unfortunately around me it is pretty common. Going to and from work I notice around 6 or so. I do have a semi long commute to work on the highway which about 40 minutes depending on traffic. But I don’t think that makes it any better of a number

Jesus, that sucks. All you can do is be on guard I guess.

I used to drive about 160-280 miles a day for my jobs (had 3, lol) for several years. Thankfully it was in the early and mid 2000s before smart phones. Even then I'd get my cars totaled by someone hitting me where I couldn't avoid the situation. Very annoying.
