It's Always The Man's Fault!
There's this advert on telly at the moment, and it really bugs me...
It's this one...
It's this one...
Okay, loving (if a bit drippy) wife phones her husband... he's driving home... he answers the call and chats away to her... then, distracted by thoughts of what's for dinner when he gets home... BLAT - he drives into a car coming the other way...
And the poor woman is getting the blame for phoning him! How's she supposed to know he's driving!? And surely he knows that you're not meant to ANSWER the phone when you're driving!?
So, therefore his sad demise is his own damn fault for not either using his hands-free, or pulling into a lay-by before answering, or just simply ignoring the call?
I mentioned this to my brother tonight (who was driving at the time) and he said, "Oh, yes... It's always the poor man who's to blame, isn't it?"
Well, yeah!
