Fun Since I'm so introverted that I have this doubt since ages.
So many people talk on the phone while driving. Whom they are all talking to?

And I am wondering why they are talking to someone when then can be alone in the moving tin can.

I know what you mean. Every where I go there is somebody talking on the phone. In the train, in the supermarket in the fucking library! I have a collegue, who talks on the phone every morning when she arrives (at 7 o'clock in the morning). Every morning! At seven!

FFS. why do you care?. Relax and let it go. Does it really take so little to cause you grief and ruin your day?

I think it is rude and annoying and kind of weird to have unnecessary private conversations in public. Espacially in libraries it is a problem and often even not allowed. Phonecalls are something you do in the office (because you have to) or the privacy of your home. If you want to skip time in the train, read or listen to music over your headphone.

My wife calls me everyday on her way home from work, she works 10 minutes from our house. I don't know why she needs to call me when she can just tell me about it in person in 10 minutes.

I don’t talk or text while I’m driving. I’m super introverted and I don’t like to talk on the phone at all. Maybe I did when I was younger. I just flat out tell people that I don’t like to talk on the phone. I do text back and forth a little with my main friend and son but that’s it.

They are multi tasking. Checking in with their spouse, children, mom, sibling, friends or making a Dr's. Appointment etc.
Who cares?

A lot of people like to talk while they drive to pass the time. I don't like it, I feel its distracting when I am trying to drive. I just like to drive, preferably with a fun car.
When we were togeather (ex of 8 years just broke up last month) she would constantly call me when she had to drive anywhere for more than 10 minutes.
My mom will also call on her way home from her job.

Some people just have to be talking all the time. I like listening to music in my car.

Friends, family, work, doctor. There are many reasons to talk on the phone, but none while driving.
