Sort of PG related- How do I politely tell someone...

This is only sort of PG related b/c although i am PG, this would bother me even if I wasnt.

My cousin was driving DH and i from somewhere tonite. We ar eon Southern State and its raining. What is he doing while driving... TEXTING!! And not just once, but several, LONG texts. It was making me very uneasy bc 1. hes DRIVING and 2. its raining!!!

I could tell DH was getting very annoyed. I wanted to say something but couldnt figure out what to say. I was more in awe over the whole balls of him doing this while driving.

I would have ABSOLUTELY said something!!!

When our friend picked us up from the airport recently, he was driving like a lunatic on the Southern State. I had NO qualms about telling him to slow the hell down. I'm 2 people now!

I would have said something also, I wouldn't worry about sugar coating it (but I wouldn't be a b i t c h either).

I'd just tell him that texting while driving is dangerous, he was making me uncomfortable and I'd prefer he wait until we get to the destination. If that didn't work I'd ask him to pull over and call me a cab.

My exact words would have been "Would you do me a favor and please NOT text while driving? It makes me very, very nervous". Simple as that!

This is your cousin?? Tell him to stop and then grab the phone out of his hands . That's what I'd do.
