I had a terrible day on Friday.

I insulted the Boss during a mobile conversation - I lit the end of my cornish pastie whilst trying to respond to 2 other calls waiting on the mobile just as I approached a busy roundabout. My can of Ruddles was tipped from its position by the Aircon vent and soiled the 3 CD's I had lined up to change on the next straight bit of road.

Luckily I was able to re-light the fag from the embers of the pastie, but mis-read the glow for the red call active light on the mobile and threw it out of the window, assuming it was the now nuclear pastie crust.

By the time I had reversed up the ring road and retrieved the mobile, I had 4 calls stacked, and when some idiot in a taxi shouted at me for blocking both lanes I inadvertantly hit the button to activate call 3 and the answer I gave was assumed by my Boss (who I had just responded to on line 3) to be meant for him (her) [just in case]

DO NOT be misled by hands free - however well you drive mobile calls can be distracting.
