I am not a big fan of multitasking. I do it, but I don’t like it. Nothing seems to get done right when three things are being done at the same time.
It can also get you into trouble. I know people who drive down the road with a full McDonald’s meal spread out on their lap. Yikes. How long does it take to eat a burger and fries? Is there no time to accomplish that while the car is sitting still?
Take this woman in Texas, for example. She was caught drinking and driving – two separate activities – when she crashed her car into a police car.
Oh, and she was topless Snapchatting with her boyfriend at the time too. Please forgive me for this: It could be said she was mul-tit-asking. It could be said but it shouldn’t be. I regret it already.
Too much, too much.
Whenever I want to nude Snapchat, which is about once a week, I pull the darned car into a parking lot, get my business over with, zip and button back up and then start the car again.
Isn’t that what everyone does?
I am going out on a limb here and making the unscientific observation that women like multitasking more than men do. Or at least they are usually better at it.
I once saw a woman feeding a baby, chatting on the phone and composing an email at the same time.
Oh, and that child was being breastfed.
At least there was no Snapchatting involved. And she was not driving a car at the time. Still, she was mul-tit-asking, I suppose.
